Almost sure my temps are high because of air in rad. How can i be sure and to bleed

... the RP-452X2

When i shake my computer i can hear water shaking like from a half empty water bottle. Res is totally full, but doesnt goes down in level when i shake, move or rotate my case. Rad is top mounted and pump/res is at 5.25 slots

I found this thread that the guys is having temps as bad as mine [ http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...930-triple-rad. ]
50C idle and 80C load.

But my question is shouldt the air pockets in the rad affect temps in a slower fashion? The temps shoot up to 75C almost the second i start linx.

I already remounted the block but didnt get much better to the point im satisfied with the temps, maybe 2C.

I have a raystorm a D5 and a RX360 with regular fans. The weird part is that i placed a delta (i have only one) with 4k rpm and temps didnt get better than my CM R4 fans. Which led me to believe the rad is not working properly.

Pump is 4500rpm

It probably depends on how much air is in the rad. If it's a small pea sized air bubble, the temps probably won't be affected much, but if it's like half the rad, that'll probably give you terrible temps.

Can you lower the pump RPM's? The easiest way is with voltage control. The slower water flow will allow the res to catch the air bubbles.

I would suggest doing the rad shake'n tilt with the rad unmounted from the case.

You could also try draining and retrying, except fill it slower, only fill the res half way full and try to keep the res between a quarter and half until the level no longer drops below half while shaking the rad.

Pump is fixed speed, i dont have enought spare tubing to remove the rad without having to remove the tubes

I'd try to move the case and, once in a different than normal position, power-it up. I'd try to put the radiator below everything else, if possible.

worse comes to worse, you can pull the rad out and tap it for a bleed screw.

thank god for bleeder screws.
