Is this normal?

Hi guys,

 

I'm done building my custom water loop and am now running a leak test of 24 hours. It seems like the bleeding is all done, except in the monoblock, about which I have a question: looking at the pic below, you see that the second chamber is only partly filled with water and a measly stream pours from one chamber to the other, leaving, what I think is, an air pocket. But I could be wrong. Is this normal or should I try to bleed that out of there, which is going to be rather hell as I have a rather complicated loop?

That is not good.  I don't know why there little liquid on that part of the block.  I believe that is the output while the one of the right in input.  Once you get input it should fill the entire block then the left side which I believe is output should spirt the liquid back to rad and what not.  Maybe someone can elaborate and what not.

Hi turtle,

Thank you for your reply. The right one on this pic is indeed the input while the one with the pocket in it is the output. I hope there's a way to fix this if this is not normal. Thanks again!

They have been fixed already before I took this picture. I just left the paper towel on there. All leaks have been fixed and what you see in wetness there is residue from previous leaks. So it's all good so far. In fact, I still have that paper towel laying there and the spills have dried by now.

Not normal. Tilt your case so the board lays flat. This shoulf help move the air.

As mentioned above just lay your computer so that the block is parallel with the floor and the fittings come straight up then it should fill the entire block. It's not meant to have a ton of flow up there so it wont fill up by itself since the air is working against you there.

Pump on max and move the case around. Should be one of the first things done while leak testing.

Lay the case on the side so the air naturally flows up the tube and through the loop.

 

Everyone knows how bubbles work, they always go up. So just move the system around to get the air out of the blocks and rads, and into the res.

Sorry for getting back so late - been rather busy last couple of days. The problem has fixed itself: slowly but surely the bubble got smaller and now that I changed the test liquid for the final coolant, there is no bubble at all anymore - as you can see in the picture. Have some other (minor) issues, but I will figure that out once I get the time to get to that. In the mean time thanks a million for your answers and suggestions! Greatly appreciated. Shortly I will post pics of my first custom water loop build in the respective gallery :)

 

Gr,
