Losing water, but not?

Midnight Dream · Apr 10, 2006

Ok, i've checked everywhere, and im SURE I have no leaks (No bubbles in line + UV reactive water = me not seeing any external water). But I lose water in my T line at an alarming rate. Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

Is your T-line capped? Could be evaporating...

You might also have air trapped somewhere in the system, probably in the rad, and the air is sneaking past without making large bubbles. As it works its way to the top of the T line, the coolant level drops.

How fast are you loosing coolant?

And how long has it been since you setup the system? Are we talking a recent setup?

I checked early last week, and i've probably lost about 1-1 1/2" since then.

Alittle over/under a month, give or take a few days.

By the size of the drop I'll bet its just air bubbles, sometime no matter what you will not find them :shrug:

So nothing too big, just keep it filled and eventually it will settle out?

You could lie the computer on its side for half an hour to allow the air to work it's way out of the system.

I will do that as soon as I have some free time (loads of school work). Thank you.

Make sure you keep the t-line inverted.

I've had mine up for about a week now, and still, bubbles randomly pop up in my res, guess there are some you simply don't get out right away.
