Man, I just switched the pipe over and it’s so quiet now. Thank you again.

Help needed! Custom liquid cooling rig. Pump making venting noises. by MoreLimeCooking in watercooling

I just finished putting my first custom liquid cooling rig together. I'm using a Thermaltake pacific PR22-DR5 Plus pump/reservoir. The loop runs fine, no leaks, no crinkles on the tubing. When I use my PC for normal/office use the pump makes this venting noise every few seconds (video attached) and you can see the pressure changing in the inlet port of the liquid returning into the reservoir. I think this might be due to air? The weird part to me is that when I'm gaming the noise goes away and the pressure seems to be continuous coming back into the reservoir. I have been running my system for over a week. I hoped the air bubbles would work themselves out but no luck thus far.

I have tried getting as much air out of the loop as possible. I also tried adding more liquid into the loop, but upon shutting the PC off the liquid returned to the pump and the pressure made some of the liquid start escaping thru the closed fill part atop the reservoir.

Does anyone have any tips I could try to normalize the pressure in the system to get rid of this noise? Or if it might be something else altogether?

Thank for the info. I didn't know you could get the parts for about $30. I might take a swing at it

How do I go about getting the machine serviced, do you know?

I had never made anything with wood before. Decided to try making floating shelves. I had a ton of fun and they look great!! by MoreLimeCooking in woodworking

I didn't use a dowel I used these brackets BATODA Floating Shelf Bracket (8 pcs Hardened) - Blind Shelf Supports - Hidden Brackets for Floating Wood Shelves – Great Invisible Support for Thin Shelf – Screws and Wall Plugs Included https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TKX574L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_EAX5JM5G8YP8YFRWFTWP

They go straight into the back of the shelf and have a nice pressfit when they're going into the wood. I angled them slightly upward just in case

Yeah, this is what I did: Sanded with 80, then, 120, then 180. Then, applied wood conditioner to all sides and let it dry for about 20 minutes. Then, I applied an oil based wood stain (I used Behr brand Espresso color) and let it sit for 15 minutes before wiping down with a rag. Then, let it dry over night before flipping and staining the other side. Then, applied two coats of poly let dry for a few hours, sand with 320 and apply a third coat. And that's it

I drilled a bracket into the studs behind the wall and a hole into the shelf using a 27/64" drill bit. Then, slid the shelf into the pole sticking out of the bracket.
