I have just completed constructing my initial custom water cooling loop and am facing significant challenges with releasing air from the radiator. It required a full day and a half to eliminate all trapped air, but now I struggle to remove the bubbles accumulated in the CPU block. I have attempted various methods such as shaking the system and flipping it upside down, yet nothing has resolved the issue. Could you provide guidance on properly bleeding the system or identify any mistakes I may have made?

Are these tiny bubbles really large clusters of bubbles? They are just small ones (1mm-2mm), nothing serious, and they should exit naturally. Anything bigger than 5mm is still manageable, but if you have many of them, let them gather with the system off, then restart using a vented reservoir cap.

You might shake the PC while only the pump is running using the second PSU, and likely adjust its position so the bubbles move smoothly with the water flow.
