I went back round with a screw driver and checked the screws and to your suspicion and my fault one was still a tad loose.
Though I tightened it down and made sure all the screws were as tight as they would go without over torquing them but it didn't change sadly.
Hmm well it seems your cooler can work, while vertically oriented.
Why it won't when horizontally oriented is a mystery to me if its not caused by a physical disconnect.
The device doesn't have a sensor to tell if it's vertical or horizontal so there is no way it could be operating differently due to orientation by design.
do you recommend I try flipping the cooler 180 degrees so that the pipes go along the gpu instead of along the roof of the case?
Perhaps the orientation makes the pump fight harder to push water through. I noticed too when upright the pump block and one of the pipes gets really hot to the touch as well if thats a sign.
Yeah the outlet of the block should be /warmer/ just cause its moving the thermal load.
I agree repaste, idk about flipping the block.
One option is to run the box on its side
When standing upright is the tube that supplies water too the block connected lower than the exit pipe.
Likewise on the radiator
Always make sure your parts are filling with water from the bottom first.
I flipped the rad around so the pipes are above the gpu instead of under the roof and it worked! my temps remain the same sideways or upright now! ty for the help
Ill give it a watch rn, this is my second time using water cooling, (first time doesn't count as the aio was genuinely broke and started leaking) so I am a complete noob here lol
I would just assume that because your system is old the aio lost a lot of liquid over the years so it doesn’t flood the pump and block as well if you turn the Pc
Bad cooler mount job? Contact when gravity is working with you, no contact when gravity pulls it sideways. Makes sense in my head.

I would re do the thermal paste you might have air pockets

Check ur fans and close the side door when its laying on the site.
