Possible AIO issue?

[BTGbullseye]

So, I have an Eiswolf 240 AIO on my 5700XT, and a Arctic Liquid Freezer II 120 AIO on my 5800X. One of them is gurgling, but I'm not positive which. (could even be both)

 

Here's the issue I found...

 

 

Before the test began, I tilted my entire system backwards by 45°, guaranteeing that the rad and tubes would be above the pump for my 5700XT. The spike in temps occurred the moment I returned it to flat, the gurgling returned immediately, and the GPU temps remain slightly more volatile than they were before, despite staying in similar temp ranges. (109°c - 111°c hotspot, mid 60's regular temps)

 

The problem is, that when tilted the CPU got up into the 80's with no load, (rear mounted AIO rad, so the pump and block were top of the loop) then settled down tempwise when flat. I can't leave it tilted or the CPU will cook, and I can't leave it flat forever or the GPU will eventually melt. This probably wouldn't be an issue if I had a larger case with better AIO mounting locations, but this is what I had, and it made sense when I got it. (the stock 5700XT really did NEED the sound dampening that's in this case, before I got the AIO)

 

What do you think, do I just need to find a way to refill my AIOs or what?

Yes refilling should help

It's quite easy on Eiswolf and Eisbaer (got one of each too), Eiswolf are refillable through the rad and Eisbaer are through the block

But personally I added a VPP pump and a reservoir so that refilling is not an issue anymore

 

Edit : forget about the eisbaer as you have an Arctic AIO...

Yeah just top it up. It happens to all AIOs, it’s called permeation.
