Hey AT members,

Just looking for a little help in getting set up with water cooling. I have hooked up all the parts inside my case. My setup includes a pump, cpu block, heater core, and resevoir.

I filled it up using a mixture of distilled water + water wetter last night and turned it on and there are tons of tiny air bubbles that I can't seem to get rid of. If I keep the resevoir open while the system is running water comes out, but if I close it then none of the air can escape.

So I turned it off and let it sit overnight with the resevoir open to see if the air bubbles would all rise out of the system but no go. There was a layer of spunk at the top of the resevoir too. Not sure what that is. Anyway, if you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
