Bleeding problems

I'm trying to bleed my loop but nothing seems to work. I can't make my res the highest point because it's screwed there. Any1 know a trick to make it work?

Here's a pic of my loop:

res>pump>cpu>gpu>nb>sb>rad>res
 
Flip it upside down. It will suck because you have to flip it around to add more fluid, but it will bleed about 1000x faster.
 
... where is the bleeding actually happening..? I dont see a hole anywhere? The res doesnt have to be the highest point really as long as its higher than the pump.
 
I'm leaving the fillport open, I thought it would do the job. I'll try to flip it.
 
the picture looks fine to me so far there is still liquid b4 the pump just keep priming and adding priming and adding. Im lazy and usually just turn the comp on and off with the psu letting the pump turn on for a second to clear the res then turn it off. once ur full of liquid then you can bleed it and then add more liquid...
 
If your reservoir is the black cylindrical object fastened to the front of your case, then it appears you have the reservoir feeding to the pump outlet instead of the inlet. That appears to be a DDC pump with an aftermarket (Alphacool?) top. If that is true, in that configuration, the top barb of the DDC is the inlet and the front barb is the outlet. The inlet and outlet on the DDC with aftermarket top is opposite to the Laing D5/Swiftech MCP-655.

Switch them around and see if that helps. As RiZnO said the reservoir simply needs to be higher than the pump inlet, not necessarily the highest point in the loop.

Hope this helps.

:( how embarassing

Yeah I had the pump shoot into my res, that's why it wasnt working at all :rolleyes:

I fixed it and it's bleeding atm, thanks for the input guys.
 
Another minor problem...

It seems that my gpu block is creating alot of air bubbles (a entire line of bubbles) that are ending in my rad, as you can see in these pictures.

Any1 know how to get rid of this problem? What is causing this inside the gpu block?!
 
Pop graphics card out, turn it over. S'just air in the block's cavity that's coming out bit by bit.
 
tip your case every possible way while pump is running... if your loop is tight it wont matter if you turn the whole thing upside down :)
 
LOL don't need to tip your case to get all the air bubbles out of the tubes.

I found that if you just bend the tubes a bit after each connector it usually gets most of the trapped air out. Well at least it worked for me, but I have VERY flexible tubing kinda like silicone so it's easy to bend it so the water pushes everything out.
 
What size radiator are you using in that setup? I couldn't see it from the pictures.
 
certainly looks like a triple to me. It's a tht e top of the side shot, but it's also black, so a bit hard to see.
