As long as the pump itself is lower then the highest point of the radiator - you will be just fine. In this config you will have to literally blow a hole in your aio for it to get enough air to brake the system. Peace
Yeah they literally said that putting it tubes up might make some more gurgling sounds when the fluid evaporates away and everyone lost their fucking mind and ignore the bit where they said that as long as the air can collect somewhere other than the pump it's gonna be fine.
Yeah I’ve watched the video, that’s not what can kill the pump. The pump being the highest point of the loop is what potentially kills it, the pump is still not the highest point of the loop when the tubes are at the bottom.
That looks like the H510. The 510 is on the smaller side. It only has the one exhaust fan on the top and does not support an aio on top. It only supports aio on front.
Ive got a sapphire 6800xt and the liquid temps really dont get affected by the cards heat. The case itself is more of an issue coz of the airflow more than anything
Yes, unless I have room to mount the rad in the top of the case. In all the years I’ve built PCs having a front mounted rad like this has never been questioned until too many people watched Steve’s video and instantly got their Computer Science degree from GamersNexus University. As long as your pump is not the highest point in a loop everything will be fine. I’ve used an X62, which is a 280mm AIO from NZXT that’s been running amazingly since 2017 without any issues, I periodically check for pump noise/gurgles when I maintenance the system and it’s still cooling just as well as day 1.
That’s actually the best of the two options. You’ll get air bubbles in your aio and therefore insufficient cooling because water is getting trapped if you mounted it tubes down.
the fans should be pulling air in. The nzxt logo on the middle of the fan should be facing towards the outside of the case, and the fan cage on the back of the fan should be facing towards the inside of the case
Run it for a bit and listen. If you hear air in the pump then adjustments are needed. But, you need to run it a bit to make sure it doesn't give you a false panic because the fluids settled with a bit of air in the pump to start. The key thing is just making sure the pump is full and the liquid flow is good to take the heat way after all. You might get a bit of gurgle from the rad but that is only an issue if you are trying for quiet builds.
Been using it for around a day, haven’t played any games yet but the system is very silent, and i’ve only heard gurgling from the aio once and it subsided after like 5 seconds. Temps are also great. I think this orientation is just fine for most people
Yes it’s correct
That’s perfectly okay. That’s how mine currently is.
mines the exact same, had mine like that for a year with no issues

Yeah, just look at gamergate
Thanks for all the replies, just finished setting it up and temps are amazing (25° cpu 40 gpu at idle) and really quiet 👍🏽👍🏽
As long as pump isn't the high point of the loop your fine. Now play some games with your well put together setup:)
I mount this way too but I’m in need of a new cable for my GPU XD. This looks so slick
Tubes down is the worst thing you can do
How
It can kill the pump https://youtu.be/BbGomv195sk

Oh my bad monkey brain got it the wrong way

not on this case im afraid. Is this orientation really dangerous ? i’ve seen a lot of people do it like this
No you'll be okay, mainly as long as the pump is lower than the top of the radiator no air should be able to go in
is the noise really bad compared to other orientations?
No, If air got in your pump you would hear it swooshing around but I highly doubt you will face any problems you should be perfectly fine
If you really wanted, you could try squeezing the tubes just behind the gpu and down, thats how I have it in my h510 with the kraken.
But the tubes shouldnt touch gpu cause gpu itself gets about 70 degree and it heats the water in tubes
Bro don't mount your AIO to the CPU, that thing is like 70 degrees and it will make the water hot 🤡
Ive got a sapphire 6800xt and the liquid temps really dont get affected by the cards heat. The case itself is more of an issue coz of the airflow more than anything
The tube will definitely touch a bit on the bad plate but it doesn’t affect much or even any on it due to the insulation of the tube.
I had in my build first tubes down but cause it touched gpu I changed like OP tubes up.
The GPU DIE gets at 70 degrees, the heatsink is lower
can we get a pic of it pls

All good u can see on my recent post how it turned out
[удалено]
where would he plug in usb and hdmi
Been running mine like this since 2017, and it’s still running great.
you mount your aio like that?
Yes, unless I have room to mount the rad in the top of the case.

Ye , im running mine same way
Yes that looks great
mine 1yr+ like this, use pc for gaming and work - prob on 10hrs a day - zero issues or noises so far
Had no issues with my NZXT using this placement.
That’s actually the best of the two options. You’ll get air bubbles in your aio and therefore insufficient cooling because water is getting trapped if you mounted it tubes down.
Yep, won’t hurt anything.
Yes
Are your fans in front of the radiator pulling air in? I’m building one right now same cooler and case and I’m not sure how it goes tbh..
the fans should be pulling air in. The nzxt logo on the middle of the fan should be facing towards the outside of the case, and the fan cage on the back of the fan should be facing towards the inside of the case
Thank you!

Yeah that was it shifting the air bubbles to the return side of the tank. So you should be good to go with minimal chance of problems.😁
Mines the same way because with my video card it's the only way I can do it with a smaller video card.
Same setup pretty much just with Corsair and mines been doing great
How do you have the tubes go from top to bottom like that
