XG7 5700XT waterflow?

[Conver]

Hallo,

 

Been running the XG7 5700XT waterblock for some time now and today I saw that air bubbles and flow was going a new way I hadn't seen before now, I've added an images to show where this flow is. Can anyone tell me if it meant to be a flow there?

 

 

Edit: Air bubbles are trapped in that space and they are extremely hard to get out again.

Yup it's normal.

Water will sip all the way to the o-ring, so it gradually makes its way between the copper and the acrylic.

As i said in the other post, it will take a few days for air to be completely purged from the block after filling the loop.

Thanks for quick reply, I will let it run for some time :)

Hello again,

 

 

The system has now been running non-stop since I was made this post, airbubbles are getting smaller and smaller, however those damn small once on the fins are still there and hard to get out, but those I can live with as those also gets trapped less times now.

 

However, the flow going thru the space shown on the image in first post is getting worse, I've added a image on my block where you can see what i mean.

Not on any of my older GPU blocks I've seen it like that, It ain't very beautiful when having a vertical GPU..
