Bubbles in my tubes!! Everywhere!

[Rudager]

Now, I know there are bubbles at first in a waterloop but what's a good way to get them out...i've shaken the tubes a bit to try and know them loose, but there's still quite a few...do I just have to wait it out?

yep just gotta wait it out
it takes longer with a t-line
took mine about a day to get every bubble out including the tiny foamy looking ones

I just cleared my line out and it took about 24 hours, then while mounting the rad the t-line did a whoops dumping air back into the line. So mad....but it doesn't look like I have all the stuff I need to mount my block anyway. But yes, give it a day and it should get rid of all of the air (keep your T-Line as level as possible and at the highest point in the loop if you're using a T-Line). Also, bang on your radiator or shake it if it's not yet mounted...alot of air will hide in that thing.

i pinch and the lines when it is running that will get the lil ones that cling on the inside of the the hose. but im lowflow so that may have a good deal to do with it

Flicking the tubing works wonders.

works just fine on high flow as well.

I acutually use my sizeable Nokia cell phone to bang against my tubing to get the bubbles free. Solid enuff to move it, but not heavy enuff to knock anything loose. It's a non-flip Nokia, so it's designed well for water-loop whacking.

I think that's the best advice I've gotten so far...

I useally fill my water cooling loops entirely out of the case in a bucket, compleatly under water. (distilled)

-I leave one link in the loop disconnected, useally the sucking side of the CPU block
-use a heavy clean object to hold the sucking side at the bottom of the bucket
-shakeing everyhting around to get air out.
-then let it sit for a few hour running with the loop open at the CPU block. Sucking at bottom blowing at top.. then plug the open end of the block in to the free tube wile under water...
-use my air compressor to clean water off everything (liek all inside the RAD fins)
-then let it try out for a few hours.. witch is also a leak test time..
-then install..

This only work if you entire system can be removed. I allways made my loops so i could pull it all out intact.. so if you RAD is on the out side of the case this wont work...
