Cant get air out of the system.

Hej! I've just built my first water cooled system. And i have runned in to a problem. There is like foam in the system, guess its airbubbles. I have turned the computer in every way possible. It looks fine when im running the pump. And as soon as i turn it off. The fenomena appears again.

Now, I haven't build any custom watercooled PCs before, but I've heard that sometimes air in the loop can escape if you tilt the case around when the loop is running.

Please mention or quote me if you want a response. :)

how long have you run it for? my loop took some time to push all the air out. If its already been leak tested, turn the pump up to max speed and let it run for a while leaving the fill cap off for air to escape. At least thats what worked for me and my setup seems pretty similar. cpu & gpu blocks, 2 rads, d5 pump (not sure what pump you have).

cant stress this enough MAKE SURE YOU ARE 100% POSITIVE IT WONT LEAK before turning the pump all the way up and leaving it unattended.

Leave it to sit and the foam will go away and turn into a single or a couple bubbles you can tilt out. 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

It's taken my build around a month to get all the air out (the water level in the res has gone down a small amount after I started using it).

During leak testing I ran my pump at 100% for like 18 hours with nothing else plugged into the PSU. If OP did the same, it should be fine
