Big air gaps and high temps after 6 months

[Aditya_56]

Hi guys. Need your help.

Haven't found a solution after searching a lot

I have a custom water cooled pc with the following specs

Intel 6850k hexacore processor
2x Titan XP SLI GPUs
64 GB Corsair RAM
MSI godlike gaming carbon MB
Ax1200i PSU
EKWB custom loop with one 3 fan RAD and one so glad fan RAD.
BOTH CPU and GPU are water cooled

So far system was running fine. Yesterday I saw the tube coming out of the bigger radiator filled with air.

There is a huge air gap and the temps are now too high. CPU is 90C on prime95 and GPU reached 75C. Earlier the temps were 15C lesser on both.

System is stable though.

I had Thermal take pastel coolant earlier which I flushed today and am running tap water to clean the system. Temps have not changed with replacement of the coolant with water.

The worry point is the flow from the radiator out tube. It's like dripping and not filled completely. I made a video which is linked here

Please help.

Open the fill port on your reservoir and fill it about 75% full and leave it uncapped or vented. You need the pump to continue to push water through the loop and collect/disperse out the reservoir and that can't happen if it is sealed.

Also, I would avoid using tap water as this contains a lot of mineral content that can collect on the internal components. Distilled or vapor collected water would be best.
