Yes!!!@BaK : the aquarium foam works wonder ! I only had to purge a little liquid to be able to open the res and add the foam.
Really cool to see another mini res with foam in action!
You probably already did it, but tilting the case in every direction should get rid of the remaining air pockets.Now I can properly bleed my loop, even though it takes ages.
After 12H of running the pump full tilt, I still have some air in the GPU waterblocks.
That's another advantage of having to deal with a small case instead of a full ATX tower!
After some time the bubbles gather themselves at the top of the res. That's what they did in mine at least.The little res is saturated with trapped bubbles.
Hopefully not only because I let the top without foam, as yours is fully packed from what I see.
Then you just need to top off the res from the fill port.
I notice you have two of the latter btw.
Is the one you add at the back also in use or did you have to cut a hole in the case panel in order to the res to fit flush with it?
