Tiny bubbles in coolant

Hi, Ive just installed my first watercooling loop and everything is ok so far. My loop consists of :
Swiftech MCP 655 pump
Swiftech MCW30 Universal Northbridge Waterblock
EK Supreme Universal CPU Waterblock
Thermaltake aquabay reservoir
ThermoChill PA120.3 Triple Radiator
Primochill PC ICE Coolant

Im running about 12c lower temps at idle. Haven't tried while gaming yet as Ive just finished installing this evening. I got all the large bubbles out of the coolant but I can see its still a bit hazy with tiny air bubbles. Will these work themselves out of the system and if they do will my temps become a little cooler again as I expected a bit more than 12c of a drop in temps.
 
The bleeding should take anywhere from a few hours to a day or so. However if the bubbles don't go away after that then there could be something wrong.

Make sure that you cleaned out all your parts, including flushing out the radiator from the leftover flux from production.

I have a 120.3 and it had a ton of residue I had to remove out.

OK ill keep an eye on it. So will my temps drop some more when its fully bled?
 
yes they should, but the amount they drop really depends on many factors...
