I just has 2 questions about water cooling systems, i put together a lower end water cooling system, this is my first time using anything other the air, it seems as if there is some ait in the water circiut and when i turn it on the the air gets sloshed around and breaked up into tiny ait bubbles and makes it look like foam. the pump runs fine, the cpu temp is lower then air, but not by much. i was wondering if there was a good way to get this last bit of air out of the system?

second, most of what i have seen has insisted that the outlet of the cpu water block be higher then the inlet at the center of the water block, what if i have a case that lays the mother board flat? will i sill be able to use water cooling in this case?

thanks

raise the level of water in your res.

That helped for me, figure out where the air is entering your curcuit, and fix it!
 
You might get more responses if you try posting this question in the "watercooling" section of the "overclocking & cooling" area. Also, can you give any more information about your setup or provide some pics?
 
open up your resevoir and tilt it in a fashion where air would have a way to escape from the resevoir opening and run it like that for an hour or so - your bubbles will dissipate.

yeah let your res run without the cap off a while, and make sure all the air is out of your rad as well (turn it end over end a few times)
