With the first run I had it going all night (~10 hours)
there's nothing you can do now, leave it overnight and see what happens and turn your res. where 3 plugs facing ceiling and unplug one to get the air out
So keep it how I had it but let one of the plugs stay open?
Yes you need to open the one of the plugs to get the air out
Okay, I'll let you know how it goes.
LOL thats going to make you happy. :ROTF: that res sucks to move. Hopefully it works. IMO it all ready sounds alot better then it did.Quote:

C: Heat up water after doing A & B, warm liquids hold in gases very badly cold liquids hold gases much better
D: Once air is gon releas vacuum if any is remaining and top off with water, but befor that heat the water to help it degas befor adding it to the loop.
:( :mad: Well I did it!!! With or without another hand to help!!! It does sound nice and the tubes themselves look a lot more clear when they're running. I haven't shut it off yet since because I don't want to risk immobilizing some.Quote:

I think this will suffice. If it doesn't I'll try the alcohol drop in the loop.
I think you should drain it and flush it again before refill your loop to see if that helps this time instead waiting and doing something else, I have the same style res. but it clears bubbles very quick and I was surprised how quick it was
Are you still "leak testing" or is your computer on with the small bubbles running around?
When I get to the point with the tiny stubborn bubbles that wont go away and no leaks, Its time to turn on the system and heat up the water and those bubble find their final destination pretty quick.

Edit: one more shot at night, middle port for inlet and bottom port for outlet as you can see clearly in this picture

wouldnt the bottom port be better for outlet, as hot liquids/air rise, so if warm water comes out the bottom hole, it gets sucked into the top one immediatley?Quote:

(its abarai renji btw (abarai is surname .... i think thats how japs do it, last then first)
convection currents dont happen when youve got a 1gpm+ flow in such a small volume.
:) my previous post stated middle port for inlet and bottom port for outlet
Thanks for the help guys, but I don't think that bubbles are a big problem right now.
I plugged everything in, turned on the power supply and dimmed the lights. With a great hesitation I turned on the computer by hitting it's power button. It worked! My tubes were solid blue, my UV lights electrified my DFI Lanparty Expert, and nothing but a stealthy silent flow of water sounded in the dark. My NEC powered on with my ViewSonic and the "Lanparty" logo appeared. I was at the helm of a complete system ready for hours of intense gaming, crazy overclocks, great temperatures, and silent operation. The Windows loading screen appeared followed by my desktop. As I began to move the mouse I was just about to open up my ITE SmartGuardian to look at temps along with my ATI Tool when....
:explode:
......my screen went crazy.
Suddenly I began to hear a quiet hissing from in between my chipset cooler and one of my most prized possesions--my X1900XTX. Quickly I turned off the ultra-violet monster that was beginning to sound like a snake, but it was too late. My video card is......*cry*........broken.
I broke my first piece of hardware...............
My guess is there must have been a small trace of water still on the video card's pcb that hadn't evaporated yet.
I feel sick.............like I just lost a child.................
What do you have before your res? Smith IIRC has his pump so he may be pushing alot more force into his res. What pump do you have? Smith has that Arnold Swartznpump DDC ultra.Quote:

edit. never mind, there was some posts in here before me...
Res. -> 50z pump -> PA120.2 -> MP-1 GPU Block 1900XTX -> Res. :)
oh man! :(Quote:

ouch... a flying $500 bill...
everytime movement of blocks be sure to leak test whole thing again...
