maze2 and air bubbles

chefmws · 07-06-2001, 02:50 PM

i just finished setting up my water cooling rig.
it consists of a 500 gph mag drive, heater core from a geo metro (new),120mm sunfo fan, marine junction box as a resavoir, and a maze2 waterblock.
i have it routed as follows
rad -> maze2 -> res -> pump -> rad

when i got it primed and filled up the res fully i saw a small stream of bubble from the maze2 on the exit side of the block. the block is the lowest point in the system.
i have the barb connection in the center of the block as the inlet and the other one as the outlet. should it be setup that way? is the water path in the block causing the bubbles? it does not seem to be causing any problems i was just wanting to know how to get rid of the bubbles?

The bubbles could be from one of the hose connections, or they could just be still trapped in the maze2? Not sure, but the center of the maze2 is the inlet ( so the coolest water hits the die). Good Luck!
