Endless air bubbles?

[Prof.Linux]

Hello.

 

My liquid cooling loop appears to have a bubble issue (after four months of running) and show no sings of leakage.

My system after being suspended after a wile (or off) will have air bubbles accumulate in the loop, but no sing of water on the motherboard and no change in reservoir levels.

The issue still goes on after four month I had built the system. only with a evga 1080 water bock (hydro coper), a ice crown water bock and a 240mn radiator.

I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue and this is something i should be worried about.

What do you mean by bubbles, as in a trapped air pocket? If you have a photo of the loop it may help.

It takes a wile for bubbles to accumulate, but here is the loop.

What do you mean by accumulate as in air pockets build up in the loop, once it's been fully blead and all the air pockets are gone they shouldn't return.

I do know that, but it seems that they don't bled out. It only occurs after the systems been powered off (or suspended). Then it occurs.

 

It can be describes as taped air bubbles after installing a system after A day or two, but it like that after four months of running.  and the bubbles aren't small either.

What pump is that, if you can max out the speed it might be lacking enough pressure to force out any trapped air bubbles. You can try rotating the system around when it's on to see if it dislodges any trapped pockets.

it is kinda hard to make air travel downward (location of the reservoir). air travels to the highest points and stays.

when you power the system off, how high does the reservoir rise. then when you power on the system how low does the reservoir level go?

the space difference of the levels is how much air is trapped in the system.

try to operate the loop (system off) with the pump/res above all the devices. the radiator will be toughest as the inlet is on the top bung and the outlet is the bottom bung. you'll actually have to up end the bench to allow all the air to escape the radiator.

Not sure what pump it is. I do have it set to change speeds based on CPU temp. And rotating the system may be a challenge, but I'll give that a try.

The pump operates at different speeds based on CPU temperature. So it is hard to get fluid reservoir height.
