Question Please help with my watercool loop

[lomoon17]

Hi, can someone please help I'm fairly new to water cooling PCs I think I have made a major mistake I have bent the tube that goes from the pump to the res and I can't get any fluid into the pump so it can't do its cycle. Please someone help me come up with a solution, the fluid was expensive so I would prefer not to drain and I don't have any more fittings for a direct connection. I now know what I have done is extremely dumb but can someone help fix my build so that I don't have to spend anymore money to fix this issue.

That isn't your issue. You have an airlock that is preventing the coolant from being moved.

Is your reservoir top vented or open?

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. Not too sure, I presume top vented, it’s the Lian Li-011 Dynamic Bitspower Sedna Pump/Res https://shop.bitspower.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=7163

What do you mean, you presume?

Is the reservoir lid open or no? Either you did or you don't?

Reservoirs need to be open during filling so you can push the air out of the loop when the pump is priming.

What the gentleman is trying to say:
Open up your res so the air gets out. Then start your pump and top it up with some more coolant.

Yes, make sure the port you are adding coolant to is still open when you start the pump, assuming it isn't going to flow coolant out of that port.

You need to have the ability for the coolant to displace air when the pump runs. If the loop is sealed, the pump will just push the coolant and compress the air, meaning the air will resist and the coolant will not displace.

Hi thanks for both your advice, I have now completed the loop but now have problems with the GPU. 😫

Hit us.
Whats the matter?

I have another thread for it, but basically I can’t fully push the gpu in so I can’t get a signal and since I just completed the loop I would prefer to not to have to take it apart to find out. Btw there is no cables blocking and there is still a little bit of room before it hits the MB shroud and it fits in the tabs. I honestly have no idea, it partly fits as it clicks in at the clip but not towards the IO. When I first plugged it in I was able to make it into the BIOs but the connection wasn’t strong enough and once I turned it off, I couldn’t get a signal again.

Some interference with the shields on the back of the case? I forget the right term for it.

The IO tabs, if it's those you're referring to I don't think so as it slotted in those fine. I have a little trouble screwing it in but nothing all too bad.
