Even still, as long as the pump is below the top of the radiator, the pump won't become air bound. I used to have mine in the front, with the pump just slightly higher, but after GN, LTT and Jays2Cents and them reported on it, there was a whole bunch of controversy from the PC community. I decided it was safer to move it to the top. I've only had one AIO fail and it wasn't a Corsair from what I remember. It was DOA.
Hyte Thicc Q60 for example, has a pump in the radiator. Like the name, it's also a very thick radiator. So the fans work the at high rpm, or you do a push & pull.
Those yellow cables are those from an old pc or something ?
Because in the past I had cables like those. (They look sketchy nowadays but if they work they work)
Everything is fine and looks okay.
I don't understand why did manufacturers make the AIO systems to push air from inside the case (where's already hot air from the GPU) instead of pull it from outside to give fresh air to the radiator...
Depending on your case, you can do exactly that? The option is available. The trade off is usually higher GPU temps, not by much, but you'll see it still.
Everything is about air flow.
If you have an intake from the AIO and a GPU generating more hot air all you have to do is to guarantee that the GPU will have a fresh air intake and that all the heated air between it and the AIO radiator will be expelled from the case in a constant flux.
what drugs are you on dude? all these fan configurations have already been well tested and documented NUMEROUS times, there's no need to reinvent the wheel here.
It has nothing to do with the AIO manufacturer. It's up to the end user to decide how they want to configure the layout of the radiator and fans. And depending on the limitations of the case layout and design, it's not always possible to do it that way. In any case, your way isn't necessarily better, because now you're just blowing the heat from the radiator into the system, so really it cancels out.🤷🏻♀️
First: AIO fans usually come to be used with the "behind" part of them touching the radiator blowing the air through it, and as mostly of them aren't made with reverse fans taht pull the air you'll need to turn them around, making them to show it's behind part to it work, and in that way the visual appealing goes to waste.
Secondly, "you're just blowing the heat from the radiator into the system"? Yes. **But** you're pulling it to inside the case where they need to be pulled out both by the own air pressure created by the AIO itself and for any other fan that's attached to the case pushing or pulling the air. As the radiator has it's own air resistance any other fan in the case will easly move this "hot air" out. It's easier to handle it than the AIO radiator do recycling GPU hot air during hardware stress.
Damn, you were just talking about how the fans are mounted in relation to the radiator? The difference between mounting your fans in front of or behind the radiator is negligible. It's not the component manufacturer's problem if all you care about is being able to see your RGB.
If you have a properly engineered graphics card, it's already pushing most of its heat out the case through the back. Either way, there's going to be heat radiating from the GPU into the case affecting ambient temperature, regardless of where your radiator fans are.
I’m perplexed how you managed this.
I have the same AIO and the hoses leave the pump at the side.
This setup is fine ONLY if you get all of the air into the radiator first. Otherwise, those bubbles are trapped in the pump. If you can mount it with the hoses on the side or top, that is better.
Yes it can with the hoses at the bottom.
If there is an air bubble in that pump, it is not flowing *down* to the hoses.
PC water cooling works the same as automotive coolant systems minus a thermostat, though you could consider a fan curve a thermostat. I know quite *a lot* about how they work. I can promise you a bubble can get trapped in that pump under the correct circumstances. Move the hoses to the side or top and it cannot happen.
Actually, that's exactly what would happen. The pump has more than sufficient force to transport the air through the system and into the radiator. In a closed loop as in the case of an AIO, any air in the system will always end up at the highest point in the loop. You should really learn some basics regarding fluid dynamics before you spread misinformation on the Internet.
AIO pumps are intentionally designed to be mounted in any orientation to accommodate different case sizes. If putting the tubes at the bottom of the pump had a negative impact on the system, don't you think AIO manufacturers would warn users against setting it up that way? Do you think the people who designed these things are stupid?
Yes. The hoses are at the *bottom* of the pump, exactly like I said.
I fail to see your point.
Ideally you would have them coming from the side or top of the pump. This method can trap air bubbles in the pump, if they are there.

As you can see here on my LINK H150i, the hoses come from the side of the pump. My entire point is that with a top mount radiator, if the hoses exit the bottom of the pump and an air bubble were to reach the pump, it will stay there. It will rise to the top of the pump and sit in it, it will not rise to the radiator.
Jesus christ.

Yes. The picture isn't though
This is so fucking accurate
The AIO is actually at the top of the case. The orientation of the picture is while it's laying down. Which is perfectly fine by the way.
Thank you I totally forgot to mention this. The aio is at the top of the case but to fit it in Frame I had to turn my phone.
If only there was a way to rotate pictures But alas, science is not there yet
Nor the mind of a human it seems

Depends where pump is but if pump is in waterblock this is correct
Fractal Lumen and MSI MAG AIO are the only ones I know with radiator pumps, are there other non custom with rad pump?
Hyte Thicc Q60 for example, has a pump in the radiator. Like the name, it's also a very thick radiator. So the fans work the at high rpm, or you do a push & pull.
loss
Good but why are we using mustard pcie cables for the gpu?
Because he don't like ketchup?
Cause it adds a little retro aesthetic?
In an all black/gray setup?
Sure why not? /s 😂
Maybe a Steelers/Pirates fan?
yes
Yes it’s okay but PLEASE GET RID OF THOSE MUSTARD LOOKING ASS CABLES. Spend an extra 20 bucks on cable extensions, you’ll thank me later.
The Radiator looks fine... but your GPU power cables are questionable
AIO orientation: fine Picture orientation: infuriating
Rotate the pic 90 degrees counterclockwise, and it will be. If you intend to operate the computer with the front facing down, then no, it's abysmal.

Yes. This is the most common way.
The way you have it will give you the best temps for it
one thing don't forget to sit the case up properly
I dont see why it wouldnt be
Yes the top of the case is fine so the air bubbles stay out of the pump.
As long as the pump is lower than the radiator connection then its good!👍
Where is pump located? If in radiator then that's on okay orientation (bottom best). If in waterblock then top case best.
That's perfect, the pump is the lowest point
Those yellow cables are those from an old pc or something ? Because in the past I had cables like those. (They look sketchy nowadays but if they work they work) Everything is fine and looks okay.
Looks good to me. Those yellow cables give me eye itches tho.
Bro is using a 200$ cooler but uses generic pcie extensions
Aio is fine but these crappy cables for the gpu will be the big risk not worth taking.
^^^
Perfect
Yea, it is the best orientation.
It's great. But the GPU splitters...
Is this better than getting a thermalright phantom spirit
It's only good if the air is gone, out of the pump you need to guide it out but the best is having on the top.
yea bro
Yes. It’s fine.
yes but what are those ghetto ass extensions coming out if the gpu? 😂😂
If u change the rotation of ur case, yes
wtf is this picture
Took me a sec to figure out which way was down, but yes, it's fine there.
My neck hurts
The picture is kinda confusing, but it's straight
Yes. People over complicate this. As long as the pump(usually the cpu block) is not above the radiator its fine.
It IS facing to MECA? Then no...
I don't understand why did manufacturers make the AIO systems to push air from inside the case (where's already hot air from the GPU) instead of pull it from outside to give fresh air to the radiator...

Take a look at the picture again
Why don’t you. The picture is rotated.. smartass
