Ignore the last post-plugged the pump fan in to a chassis fan header and it kicked the bubble out. Thank you to everyone that helped seems to be all good now!

Seems to have resolved the issue...Thank you so much! Got a trick for bubbles in cpu blocks? lol. I had this before and posted a topic about it on here-last time when I put the pump on full speed it cleared them- hasn't happened this time...

The fitting I just attached an image of came with the res. In the manual it said to use where it was an inlet but assumed since I was doing a top inlet it would be different? So if that fitting's o-ring wasn't slipping it would work? And hopefully @EK Luc will know what is happening-all products are EKWB!

My bad-modified the post

See the attached image for a pic of the leak. As you'll see it is an image when the system is on-I turned my 'default' OC on- 4.6Ghz on 1.4V and started prime95 and everything ramped up (as it should) and this happened during the stress test-therefore, it seems that the inlet cannot deal with high flow rates?

I'll grab a photo tonight after work but yes the fitting that goes in to the top of the res from my rad is where the issue lies. So are you saying i should change the fitting?

Oh, and when I booted up my MSI GTX 980 (with waterblock on) was running at 28-31C and cpu 29-34C at idle-just doing some game updates.

Ok, so I've had quite a few problems with this new loop of mine. But the latest one is this. When leak testing for 24hrs+ there is no issue, when turning off after/during leak test there is no issue. When I plug the pwm for the pump in to the motherboard and boot up normally to windows again its fine no leaks. But when I turn the system off there is a small leak. One of the top ports (I have a multi-port top) is the inlet to the res. The fitting it in perfectly, the tubing is over fine and the compression is over that fine. I made sure that the fitting, tubing and compression were perfect because I've already ripped this loop apart because of this issue a couple of days ago in the same place! Bare in mind this only happens when I turn the system off...does that mean a bubble somewhere or something? Please can someone help! Cheers!

Ok, thank you, will leave it to run as a bleed/leak test and will see how it is tomorrow morning (I live in the UK). If not will try a lot of tilting etc tomorrow! Thanks again for your help!

Ok, update to this: The bubble mentioned has gone (Hooray!) problem is there has been another bubble the whole time- in the top of the CPU block-EK supremacy. Any thoughts? I got the other one out by a lot of tilting the case!

Sorry I probably didn't explain well... It is currently on and is still stuck in the tube inside the res.

Hi everyone. So I've just built my new loop and I've run in to a new issue. This is the first loop where I have used a top port as an inlet. I'm using the EKWB X3 multi port top and (obviously) a tube inside so I don't have a waterfall effect. So I filled the loop and it is currently bleeding/leak testing. But while I was trying to get bubbles out. Turning PSU on/off, shaking case etc. I saw quite a big bubble that is hanging in the tube inside the res. Is there anyway of moving this? When I turn the PSU off it moves up and almost in to the radiator where there is a bend to get in to the rad. BTW im using a HAF Stacker and I have 2x360mm rads in the top 'compartment. I've tried small, quick shakes of the case, leaning the case, turning PSU on/off quickly. Any other tips anyone can think of to get this thing out. As I said it is quite a big one. Any advise would be much appreciated! Thanks, Ben.
