Air stuck in gpu loop

Go to solution Solved by Altecice,

Lift your PC up and move it around.

Let the pump run for 24 hours, any air in the system should sort itself out

It should but for some reason the water is flowing slower trough that gpu. I swapped their place but still the 1st gpu has slower flow rate. I've got no clue what's causing it.

If its a variable speed pump then cycle the speed from as slow as possible to as fast as possible every few seconds.

If it's not a variable speed pump then get rid of what ever pump you have and get a Laing D5 Vario. ;)

Check all your fittings, make sure nothing is letting air seep in ever so slightly.. Which, in most cases you'd see water drip, but it's easier for a tiny bit of air to come in, than it is for a tiny bit of water to leave. Check your pump fittings and gpu fittings especially.聽

Are these previously used blocks and, if so, did you check the block fins to make sure there's no clogging?

His advice is good, disrupting the flow will make sure any trapped air bubbles will be forced further through the system, eventually finding itself to the res.

I checked the block which was having slower flow rate but it was completely clean. i just reassembled the loop (had to swap mobo) and put the gpus the other way around so that the one which was on the bottom is now on top but still the top gpu is having slower flow rate like it was before I swapped their place.

The fittings are tight. I just assembled this loop and I did a air test and it didn't leak any air and I couldn't find any water close to any fitting.

It's a D5 vario with EK X-Res top

Hi

I've b which you can see in the picture.

Any tips how I could get that air out.

You might need a more powerful pump

My Cheap But Good Rig: I7-3770s, Intel Motherboard (actually made by intel), 16gb DDR3, Nvidia Gtx 1070, 250gb Samsung 850 EVO SSD, 750gb HDD, Evga 500 BR power supply
