So I chose to clear out my water loop. I have an EK A360G and it has performed well up until now. After cleaning and reassembling everything, I primed the pump but encountered some leaks. Once those were fixed, I ran the pump to fill the loop, but it only filled part of it and got stuck. It doesn’t reach the radiator. My usual path is pump → GPU → CPU → radiator back to pump. Before I disassembled it, everything worked perfectly. Temperatures were good. I’m curious why the pump isn’t moving the liquid fully. Could it be due to too much air in the loop? If so, what should I do to remove that?

If possible, rotate the whole setup horizontally, upside down, and around to help release the air bubbles into the reservoir.

Yeah, I"ve tried that too... I'm wondering if with all the leaks (like 3) it got too much air in it and now I just have to empty it and refill it?

It might be simpler to empty it completely, and then refill it. Those leaks might have allowed air to enter, making it very hard to release.
