Loop has me nervous

[Torna]

So after my initial install my loop has working pretty awesome....that said....
 

Last night I gamed alittle last night and I noticed my first GPU in the loop holds at 60c and then under load shoots up to the low 90s and then drops back down to 60c right away when not under load. 

The second GPU holds at 40c and under load doesn't really waver.

 

I just moved the computer last night so things are a bit shook up and bubbles are making there way through the system...or this could be a longer standing problem that I haven't noticed.  

 

All of my other temps are rock solid, my CPU looks like a bubble bath and is 37c.

 

So since it is Saturday morning and all I want to do is game on my new 4k monitor I guess my questions are....
1. Should I wait for it to bleed before I totally freak out?
2. Can I game while it is doing this?

3. If it is not just a simple bleed problem what could it be?

Pictures/diagram of your loop might be helpfull. Have you tryed moving/tilting the computer case, with only the pump on? Jayz2cents has some videos out there where he explains all of this. (could be your entire water block of your first/top GPU is filled with air, just a few bubbles should not do this)

[Torna]

The gpu is the one that you can see the whole thing.  Which sadly means it is the one I can't see the block hardly at all to see the liquid moving through it.

 

Am I go to game like this?

If your GPU will throttle down when it's so hot: you can. But I would advice against it.

You have air bubbles in the loop look at the reservoir you need to get rid of air in the system.

[airdeano]

you are experiencing air pockets, bad block mount or improper TIM application.

Can you get a photo of how you have the loop configured mainly the GPU, 60C at idle isn't exactly normal.

I should point out since I noticed this weirdness....
if I leave it to its own devices both will sit a 40c....but the instant I start to strain it the one will warm up to about 91...and the moment it isn't under load it will drop rather quickly 50....alittle bit more to 40c.

 

W-L....what do you want from the pics...you want a pic of the block (that may be nearly impossible) or are you looking at fittings and all that....?

Just want to see what SLI/crossfire block you have in place, since parallel and series blocks are configured differently for waterflow.

One sec....why do I feel I you need that setup the other way coming....

Hope these help...

-PIC-

Well that shows it quite clearly it looks like you have a parallel block that is configured incorrectly you need to have the inlet and outlets properly configured for flow as of right now there is none to the GPU's. It needs to have the the tubing from the two ports (left) over to the right hand side port.

Also just wondering what is that other tube going between the GPU's for?

[Torna]

So the tube that goes between the GPUs head back toward the res....so to make all this better I need move the tube coming from the CPU (the first pic) from the left to the right....correct?

Yes moving that tube from the left port over to the right one should solve your heat issues as long as that is a parallel block just to confirm first? 

[Torna]

It is one of these....

Yes then for sure the GPU's aren't getting proper flow with the tubing going into the left port try moving it over to the right and see what your temps are afterwards.

W-L....you life saver for like the 14th time on this build.  You are awesome.  Both cards temps improved.....from the tiny demon killing Doom maxxed test I just did....max I saw on either card was 40c and that was for moment before it would drop a degree or two.  

1. Kinda glad I hadn't OCed yet....
2. Kinda seems like maybe I should try now

W-L to the rescue!!! Torna, you should be fine now.
