Consistent air bubble noise

[ragedev]

This has been driving me insane over the past week or so. Initially it was fine, the air bubbles settled down quickly and everything was fine but over the last week it has started again, occurring every few seconds every day. Not to mention that my nvidia drivers have been crashing every 5 seconds .

There is no damn way a 1560/8200MHz GPU is stable in every benchmark I've run and 1550/8000MHz is not stable enough for GTA V.

do you have a custom loop ?

HAVE YOU BLEED IT ?

Try to locate where the bubbles are coming from, and rock the case back and forth to free any trapped air

 

As with the OC, sometimes things like that are weird eg. I know people who have had rock solid OCs for games and benchmarks and everything else, but when it came to Folding@Home it would crash because of the OC

Yes it is a custom loop and no I don't bleed them. They normally sort themselves out with the past 2-3 other custom loops I have run before and this has never been an issue.

I'm currently running two flexible tubing of different diameters as well two acrylic runs at the moment whilst I decide what other dozen fittings and adapters I need, so its a bit of a mess.

I am aware that one of the flexible tubes has quite an insecure connection as the kit it originally came with several years go, had fittings I assumed were too small for the tubing they provided, therefore I could never get them to screw on the thread. I've tried everything; wrenches, pliers etc and after about 30 mins of trying to screw a single compression ring into the thread, I gave up. Unfortunately that is the only spare tubing I have left to temporarily complete the loop until I can get the acrylic up and running properly.

Do you think the air bubbles could be coming from that? I mean, the connection is quite air tight and wont suddenly disconnect unless there is a decent amount of tension pulling on the tube. When I originally finished this loop about a month ago, the air bubbles were nowhere near as frequent.

 

My GPU temps have worsened since last month when it would be at around 50-52C in FurMark at 1560/8200MHz and now it will have a max temp of around 61-62C at only 1550/8000MHz
