More from Jacky
So recently there was a bit of.. thermal issue with my PC. CPU would hit 92C on load.
That and GPU got pretty toasty too. So - I decided to go full watercooling. It took me 3 days in total, Was painful, But worth it.
I still need some extra things to do as there's still a lot of air bubbles inside the loop,
and i think the return inlet should be placed elsewhere to solve it (that's where i had shit ton of leak on first test, too)
But for now, it runs fine. Also very nice temperature and pretty silent other than occasional pump noises.

Looking very nice.
Not to worry about the bubbles, let it run for a few days and they should work themselves out, if not give the whole PC case a bit of a tilt into a direction that helps them move. They tend to be the hardest to get out of those top radiators so id tilt it in a direction that puts the radiator output at the highest point.

I solved it by changing water return to top of the res, instead of pump inlet. It had to be done either way since trying to route the return to pump inlet was very hard and i ended up creating a link of fittings which has too many points to leak (and is where it leaked a lot on initial test).
Currently i have less fittings on it with one long tube that sends water back to the res.

Yeah i like to route radiators outlet into the reservoir inlet, so that air has the easiest way getting out to where it can be topped up with more liquid. That coincidentally also puts waterblocks near the pump output so that is nice that the output is the most restrictive part (tho with the sort of low pressures these pumps run at i don't think cavitation is any real risk, but feels nice to do it the 'more right' way)
