XSPC D5 Watercooling pump not pumping water

[Grapist9876]

I have a XSPC photon 270 reservoir and D5 combo. The D5 pump is not pumping water through the outlet. I tried tilting the case and moving it around hoping water would go through, but no water went through. I had water in the reservoir and nothing was happening. It is my first time watercooling. I had the pump connected to the reservoir with the pump on bottom with the tube then connected to the gpu, 360 rad, cpu, 240 rad, then back to the pump. I am currently getting a RMA for a new pump, but I want to see if I am doing anything wrong before having to wait and get a new pump.

So you had the loop order going pump to res to components
If this is the case you have burnt out the pump, you ran it dry. I'll explain why when you get back because I wont lecture you if you did do it right.
The loop MUST go reservior to pump, and it needs to be gravity fed so that the pump NEVER runs dry, as that is the fastest way to kill a pump, as you found out

I meant i had the pump underneath the reservoir, so the pump never went dry. That was my mistake.

ok good, you possibly just had a dead part then, i dont see any fault in your ways

I got a new pump, but water is still not being pushed so I am guessing I am not bleeding the air out correctly. The water is not leaving the reservoir

Could you put up some pictures of it so I can see, it may be the you have the water going into the outlet?

First time using these forums and I have no clue how to add pictures onto this forum because it says use a link when I click picture. Do you know how to post a picture?

Here is a picture of the loop and ty for your help Matt. http://imgur.com/Gex63HQ

I have two pumps the first one is making noises with the water like little sounds the 2nd newer one makes no noise with the water.

ok so i dont know much of the pump, so I'm honestly not too sure what to do with it, it's the kinda of thing I'd have to test for myself to find the problem
sorry

That is okay I am just having issues with the pump.

Try running a loop that just goes reservoir to pump and then back into the reservoir, see if water actually flows
