Air bubbles

[0ld_Chicken]

I tilted it again but it still doesnt pump properly. The airbubble under the GPU is no longer though

where'd it go? into the gpu block i assume?  I dunno man, maybe it'll work after draining and flipping that cpu block inlet to the right port.  maybe the pump is bad though?

If you had some soft tubing, I would suggest squeezing and releasing it to get the pressure oscillating. Thats how I get air bubbles out usually. But as mentioned above, the CPU block is backwards. Also, why does the GPU look so bent or saggy?

The weird part is that a bubble that size would get sucked through the loop so fast that you wouldn't be able to stop it damaging the pump! Something is seriously not right with the flow because a bubble like that simply can't be maintained with sufficient pressure.

Also, why did it work at first? Like I said it worked flawlessly for about 2 hours then my games became laggy and checked the temps and found out my GPU was at 90c.

@airdeano I flipped the block. Still does it.

the bubble probably got moved from a rad or something in to the gpu block.  I dont know how you could still have a bubble there unless maybe your pump is dead/dying.  I'd be hard pressed to keep a bubble in my tubes with a d5

Likewise my pump would have blown a bubble like that around my loop so fast I wouldn't have got it shut down before it went through the pump and potentially damaged it. Small bubbles not impeding flow do occasionally get stuck and make noise but a bit of shuffling about will fix that, once they get moving its not normally a problem. But unmoveable bubble taking up the entire tube = pump not working even remotely well enough.

 

 

Your pump should be pushing a minimum of 1 litre a minute, ideally more like 3l/minute and that is probably the entire contents of your loop in 10 seconds or less, at that sort of pace bubbles don't survive long.

FOUND THE ISSUE! The soft tubing at the back was kinked.... Thanks guys anyway!

Dango the swiftech rep nailed it then!  glad you got it figured out!
