water cooling maintenance

[Devryd]

Hey guys,
I build my first custom loop at the end of 2019 and also posted a thread about it. It is a water cooled laptop. After some time, a little bit of air got into the loop, but i have no idea how to get rid of it.
Do you have any suggestions?

It might be a stupid question, but I am pretty new to liquid cooling. Thanks in advance and greetings from germany.

Normally you would have a reservoir that can capture the air since you don't have one bleeding will be more difficult, you can let the air get trapped into the top of the radiator tank and then burp the loop by over turning the radiator with a hose off to let the air out and then refill with fluid.

I wanted to include a reservoir, but I didnt find a good solution to it. The problem now is, that nearly everything is bolted down. I cant just get the radiator out.

If you plan to change it there are some radiators that have a port on the end tank for bleeding air and draining which would help in this instance for you to add fluid or get rid of air.

Can you put reservoir near the pump, and replace the hoses

I also don't really know, what i would use for a reservoir, because it isn't exactly a normal pc reservoir.

I think, I will look for a different radiator and see if I can fit it.

@Zmax Do you have a suggestion, what I could use as a reservoir?
