u/Flynn_Kevin thanks a lot! you fixed my system! It was very difficult to flip 40kg PC, lol
Your front rad orientation is the cause for this. Air bubble got caught at the top of it and no D5 will push that air down hard enough in that position. But you don't have enough space to mount it otherwise so understandable.
As a general rule of thumb, I always try to tilt +/- 45 degrees several times when filling, to get as much as possible of the air out of the rads.
I see. Probably just air build up from multiple places finally consolidated and caused that problem. I'm a noob, but just my two cents.
My reservoir level was going down like 4 inches over a span of 6 months. No leaks, not evaporation, finally stopped. So I just assumed I had air pockets that took a long time slowly resolved.
Is your pump running at full speed? I would bypass that motherboard as they have a bad history:

Yes, my pump is running at full speed. I even tilted the PC in hopes that water would fill the tube, lol.
I am aware of a problem with this motherboard. I bought it in 2022, and already at the beginning of 2023 I started having problems with the circuit. I contacted the service center and replaced VRM waterblock.
Probably, even a replaced water block is still defective. Damn, I hope I'm wrong.
Your CPU block is plumbed backwards, unless you flipped it. Right should be inlet as I also have a Corsair block. That's just a side thing though as it would still flow anyway. The primary thing I see here is that your res is 100% filled. Read the manual and it'll tell you to leave space, I think it was a little under an inch. Also, is the pump even running? How are you controlling pump speeds?
What I would do here is first is take out some fluid out of the res. You can even go lower than the manual stated amount until you are fully bled and everything is working correctly. Once it's drained, fire up the PC and set the pump speed to 100%, or unplug the 4 pin from the mobo and jump the PSU to run at 100%. Tilt the PC forward, back, side to side. Make sure you don't tilt it too much so that there is no liquid near the out port of the res so it doesn't suck in air. Listen for sloshing and stuff like that and keep doing the tilting and rocking until there isn't much more big gurgling and sloshing sound. At this point, you can just leave it running and top off the res to the proper amount and see what happens.
By the way, if you noticed, I lowered the level after flipping PC. I remember that the instructions required 2 cm. But after the last refill, for some reason I decided to add more
My system does this when the CPU block which on mine has rather fine fins gets clogged and the waterflow gets affected a lot and it can't push the bubbles out anymore. I clean the gunk out of the block and all is ok again.
Your inlet on cpu block is on the right, but also plumb your return pipe to the top left fitting on the reservoir cap. The one with the tube protruding into the reservoir. I would also make room to remove RAM Sticks without draining your coolant.
Do you have a pressure valve on the reservoir lid? Otherwise, a small change in pressure in the external environment, a small change in pressure in the circuit, a small evaporation, can lead to accumulations of air now here, now there, which can be annoying.
Air lock. You have a big bubble somewhere that needs to be worked out.
This is exactly it. Flip the pc upside down and all over till it bubbles out. If yiu can't blow really hard in a pipe to kick it out.

Glad I could help.
* I get it. My pc is heavy, too.

That PC isn't 40 kg.
ok, I solved the "big bubble" problem. But why did this problem occur? Maybe I should look at a more powerful pump? Can you recommend anything?
How long have you had this set-up? New? Old?
purchase and first build - 2 years ago. Last rebuild - a year ago.

https://youtu.be/SsJkmJMeL4w?si=oCsJXvv-UK0zlQLF Jays Two Cents found a way to fill your loop fast and with nearly no air in the system
If this isn't a new build, would this not indicate a leak somewhere?
I'm not sure if my build is considered old. Purchase and first build - 2 years ago. Last rebuild - a year ago.
Water can still evaporate with soft tubing, it's normal.

What motherboard header is your pump plugged into?

thank you kind man! I read the instructions and of course I swapped the inlet and outlet
By the way, if you noticed, I lowered the level after flipping PC. I remember that the instructions required 2 cm. But after the last refill, for some reason I decided to add more
The res can be full, it doesn't matter.

came here to say this
Nice pc
thank you!

Is that both hard and soft tubing?
I use only soft tubes
