Sounds like there's air

[hanlin]

My waterloop sounds like there's air in it. Every few seconds you can hear the sound of water moving. I looked closely at the loop but don't see any bubbles. Is there anything I should worry about?

try tilting the system while its running, that should force any air out of radiators and other hard-to-bleed places.

Yeah, you probly have air in your radiator. It really is a bit tricky to get the air ot of there

So why don't I see any bubbles?

 

[Punx_Clever]

cause it's not escaping into the line. It's trapped in the rad

I jiggled the radiator around and there's definately air trapped. I will keep working on it though. Thanks for the help.

Don't just wiggle it. Actually tip it onto it side or front, whichever way will make the air get to the outlet of your res. I have my rad mounted vertical with my barbs on the bottom so air gets trapped in it easily. I actually turn my whole rig upside down when bleeding it. I run it that way for a couple of minutes and then flip it back right side up.

I meant to say tip it around. Anyway, I got all the air out now.
