Must be my loop architectures

Must be my loop architectures then, if I don't do extensive tipping and shaking and just let the system sit there after the initial fill, I get higher temps.

And then months later if I move the system out to the kitchen table for maintenance, I have extensive noise coming from the radiators of the water sloshing around.  It couldn't slosh around if there were no air pockets in the radiator.

And after the move to the table I see great big bubbles of air in the tubing and still being moved to the reservoir.

If you watch Jayz2cents videos about building water cooling systems, he does stress or at least mention that you should try and move as much air out of the loop as possible into the reservoir by rotating the system around.

I got my beginners education in custom loop cooling by watching lots of his YT content.

I have extensive experience with commercial or industrial water cooling systems and removing entrained air in the system was absolutely necessary for getting good cooling and temps where the water temperature was critical.  Just the way I have always been taught to do it.
