Reservoir bubbling effect question

Hello guys,

 

I was watching this video (from 0:59 onwards)

from Computex 2017 and I was wondering how do they achieve the bubbling effect at the top of the reservoir? I've seen it before in other builds too with the fluid entering the reservoir with great force from the top and creating a sort of waterfall or in this case bubbling effect. Do you just max out the pump or what? I am just making my first steps towards custom water cooling so be gentle.:D  Thank you in advance as well!

It sort of looks like they're dumping water into the reservoir from the top and there's a small air pocket in the reservoir. The "force" of the water entering the reservoir from the top, falling through the air pocket, and "falling" into the reservoir's water might be causing those bubbles... (0:59) to see what I'm talking about.

 

But that's a streeetttcchhhh....

Yeah, gonna need to max out your pump to have that effect. But the problem is you'll get air in the last component before the res.

As said that is basically due to the top entry in the res without an internal tube, which is not ideal since it introduces bubbles and causes splashing noises.
