Forgot to update here, found the culprit, somehow there was some gunk stuck between radiator and cpu block, I guess when i was swapping out the pump some paper pieces made their way there... feels like triple facepalm

So today I saw that the bubbles between CPU and GPU moved to GPU block, but never left there. As for the water, I can see it moving in reservoir, but my CPU temps are still going nuts compared to previous, I could clock to 4.8ghz using previous pump (temps were 78-82C @ 1.305v), right now I have to run stock with to keep it under 80C. I even tried to change paste and re-seat the CPU block, still bad results post pump change.

I'll probably rebuild the loop next week as this weekend is already booked for a LAN, going to be an interesting one. I'll get back after this and let you know how it turned out.

I have tried PWM at 100%, under 100% it looks like nothing is moving. Even tried to connect 5V to the PWM and nothing changed, 100% was as fast as it was on MB. I wrote to EKWB support, but haven't received any reply yet, maybe they have some ideas, funny part is that when I compare it to my old pump it performs worse for double the price. Also, i thought of those few 90 degree fittings because I could shorten the loop about 30 cm.

So, I have an issue where my system does not properly bleed from air, It feels that this pump is weak for my system, but I had 0 issues with another pump prior to this. I was using http://www.xs-pc.com/water-pumps/x2o-420-single-bayrespump Now I am using https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xres-140-revo-d5-pwm-incl-pump My question, how is it possible that my old XSPC pump was able to bleed the system mostly withing hours and new EKWB pump is not able to do so with 2 days and very extensive case shaking/turning. I can see water moving in the rez, but there are air bubbles (i don't mean the micro ones) in the tubes and they are not moving or are stuck in one place, did not see this with the old one. Picture of my loop attached. Running 360 rad, 240 rad, 2 GPU and 1 CPU, this was my setup when using the XSPC pump as well, even kept the inlet and outlet on radiators same. Main points where larger bubble colonies form are right between CPU and GPU and right after GPU outlet. If I would use 90 degree fittings somewhere and shorten the tubes could this help? Any ideas, suggestions would be helpful.

This is one really awesome device, I could actually put some cat games on the wall and see how 4 of they would play with the assistance of this

I actually love the camera quality on this one!
