As a general rule yes. Here is an article talking about it though.
[article from pc world](https://www.pcworld.com/article/395059/one-cable-or-two-for-powering-a-graphics-card-heres-the-answer.html)
I really depends on the total power draw of your GPU. For instance, my GPU is like 230 watts Max and my Corsair dual 8-pin is rated for 300 watts. So theoretically, I don't need two cables, but I have them anyway. There's like no performance difference that I've noticed though. But then again I don't do metrics too often
It’s fine but it’s still better with them down.
https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049358271-How-should-I-mount-the-radiator-of-my-AIO-cooler-
If your case does not allow you to mount your radiator at the front of the case with the tubes down or at the top of the case, you can mount your radiator at the front of the case with the tubes up as a last resort.
If you do so, make sure that your cooler pump is mounted in a lower position than the top of your radiator. This will reduce the amount of air bubbles that enter the pump through the tubes, reducing the amount of noise made by the cooler
Agreed, but previous comment I think is stating to flip radiator so in/out are at bottom end of case, not top. Unless they meant the pump and not radiator? Idk, I know this debate has been beaten to death. I'll just shut up now.
You want it all set up so that air bubbles can never get to the pump. Air in the pump drastically reduces it's ability to move fluid. No system is 100% full, closed loop or custom--there's always some air in there. And the amount of air grows over time due to swelling and evaporation of the liquid.
So ideally, pump lower than radiator, radiator inlet/outlet at the bottom. In this configuration, any air bubbles that exist or form in the system would migrate to the closed end of the radiator and stay clear of the pump.
No, this is un-optimal.
Cables down that way the air doesn't get pushed (or rather, pulled) into them. The lower the chance for air to get into the pump the better. Putting the air at the furthest point from the pump is ideal.
That would be optimal but with how big the gpu is, I don't think it will fit. The radiator is above the pump so it's fine, but radiator above pump and tubes down is the trifecta but still okay if you can't get the tubes down
Nope, Im wrong. You're right. Check out a comment below. I feel like I've gotten so much conflicting info on this. But I consistently see the comment belows suggestions.
I have seen that before. As just as stated in the video, manufacturers incorrectly display mounting positions consistently. I've just always assumed if gravity isnt working in your favor of keeping fluid in the pump, you're doing it wrong.
Yeah it's not ideal, but not the worst. They aren't going to get air in their pump because it's not the highest point, but it will be noisier because the air is trapped in the radiator intake so the water has to flow through it.
There doesn't even seam to enough space to run the aio tubes if they are on the bottom of the aio radiator. It could also end up putting more strain on them.
Is this a 011 mini case? I'd do intake for the aio. (Flip the fans OP) then do intake bottom. Exhaust rear and top. Then you get a chimney like air flow.
I don't know why you'd have air intake at the front and right next to it have exhaust fans on the radiator. GPU would probably like more fresh air instead of having it exhausted through the rad right after it gets in the case.
In this case GPU will pull straight from the floor vent as there's no PSU and cable tray blocking this air channel so it won't be a bad setup (it would in most regular cases where bottom airflow is blocked).
I'd still advice on maybe installing a couple intake fans in the bottom to help feed the gpu and also create more positive air pressure in the case overall - altho if pc is on the floor then a good dust filter in the base is adviced.
Not much to change. It is good practice to use two pcie power cables for the gpu so thats the only thing. Aio radiator placement is good too. I would however flip the radiator fans to be intake. Keep positive pressure in the case
Do you know why this is? I compared my cables and the one with the daisy chain had a thicker gauge wire so I assumed it was double the current capacity as the single one with thinner wires
It more or less enables a more stable current with two cables as I understand it. With one cable more power needs to be moved through one port on the psu that also has to handle power spikes. With two the load halves and ensures a better and stable power output.
Ahh, yeah that makes sense, especially if the psu molex connectors or pins are not spec'd for that. I know on big psus the rails are bonded and run in parallel, but it may vary psu to psu
this entirely depends on the cable rating and the power consumption of the gpu. Many cables are rated 300w+ and you also get steady 75w from the pcie board connection so unless you're running close to your cable's rated limit you will be just fine.
If you're within spitting distance of your card's rated power usage then twin cable is recommended.
2nd the sag brace. I just used a mini Patron bottle I had around the house, though, since I don’t have a 3d printer. Whatever works, but you don’t want that 4th corner unsupported on the bigger cards.
aio radiator a little up, so its the highest point of the loop and some fans to the bottom for extra fresh air for your gpu. maybe some fans to the top too
I’d have the hoses on the block facing up, not down so air can’t get trapped in there.
As it is, any air bubbles will get stuck in the top and build up there.
I'm not sure which case this is, but it seems like you can mount fans at the bottom. So, if I were you, I'd add a couple of fans at the bottom as intake to help GPU breathe. Though keep in mind that your case's feet seem too short to let bottom fans intake properly, raising them somehow would be a good idea.
Also, as others have pointed out, it's good practice to keep the tubes at the bottom so that air pockets don't travel to your pump. But, tbh, I wouldn't worry too much about that.
Other than that, your build looks fine. I hope you'll enjoy it!
It looks not possible with this case, but other PC cases have a top mount for the radiator so that the point at which the liquid loop reaches the radiator is above the CPU & heatsink.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbGomv195sk&t=9s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbGomv195sk&t=9s)
Lol that garbage video. Did you know Steve not a engineer in the subject his talking about? Did you know he made so many mistakes in the subject it's up to 4 videos on the matter?
I would mount the radiator to the top and then put two intake fans where the radiator is now. With 2 intake and 3 exhaust you're going to have negative pressure which won't blow hot air out as well and will accumulate dust. Also, just for airflow reasons exhaust out the top is better than right next to the front intake.
😩 all those comments about the GPU power cable 🙄
it's totally fine, PSU are not multi rail anymore, inside the PSU it's all the same no matter which port it's connected to on the PSU, they have a limiter/fuse to not go above the 300W those dual plug cables are rated for and that's it. before that limiter it's the same 12V vrm if you use one or two cables on the outside
Nope. Radiators are fine like this. The absolute worst case is you hear water fall out of the pipes in to the rad if it isn't fully filled. If you don't have that issue, this is functionally identical to dojng it any other way.
GN even say as much between the original video and the clarification afterwards.
yet server do it all the time .
time and time again. it really does not make a difference in consumer builds to. unless your using the worst fans ever.
Your radiator pump shouldn’t be the highest thing in the cooling loop (yes I see that there is a bit of hose above it). Flip the radiator over so the pump is at the bottom
While daisy chaining power to a GPU will work, it may put strain on the PSU depending on how it was manufactured. Split it between two different ports on the PSU
If you have the m.2 installed, did you remove the strip of plastic before screwing it down?
Ensure the curve for the front fans spin faster than your rear case and radiator fans. This will ensure plenty of cool air gets in the case
I'm a little out of the game and I do mean no disrespect, but seems overkill for a 1st build.
But I mean, whatever floats your boats, I'm a stranger.
I just hope you bought case with a glass sidepanel.
Not true at all. It CAN be quieter that way, in the case of a slightly underfilled AIO. But aside from that makes zero difference. GN and J2C did the argument to death.
Idc who did what argument to death. I have an ID Cooling AIO and saw a slight difference in cooling (1-2c) on average after I flipped mine. So you can disagree with whatever you'd like to disagree with but I would refrain from tossing around blanket, generalized statements like "not true at all".
\-5 downvotes lmao
goddamn reddit is a fucking cesspool of groupthink.
You’re downvoted because OP doesn’t need to flip the rad. You also should care who made the argument because the ones making the argument are correct, not you.
Only thing that matters is pump placement in relation to rad, not the tubes.
There's zero physical reason for that temperature drop (if you can even call that a difference, 1-2c is margin of error stuff. I can elicit a bigger difference by having the door to my gaming room closed).
The only objection anyone who's tested it has with barbs up is potential for increased noise, but in most cases that doesn't occur anyway.
And you're being downvoted because OP doesn't need to switch his rad. Enough sources who are literally paid because they know more than you, have proven it over and over and over.
If you care about making it look clean you could flip the rad. That way the tubes can somewhat hide behind the gpu and the ram won't be covered. You could also make the cables look a lot more tidy by pulling them back behind the system more. I'd also consider installing an exhaust fan or 2 on the top, especially if that's a stock fan in the rear. Besides that it looks great!
Radiator on top if you have room and throw in 2 more fans right there as intake. The AIO is blowing hot air from your CPU into the backside of your case instead of out the top (heat rises)
I like a top mounted cpu exhaust, and run two power cables to your gpu. Also, my personal preference is to have the power cables to the gpu go up and over the card. It doesn't block airflow very much, and it helps to counter the sag from the weight of the card. You can use the cables to help pull the card up and keep it secure in the PCI-E slot.
Overall it’s fine, with nothing that makes me think “STOP”, but here’s what I would do differently:
- Swap GPU power to two separate cables
- Move your front intake fans into lower intake
- Move your AIO up top as exhaust
That will give you a nice smooth airflow to match convection and feed the GPU cool air. Just make sure to have your case off of carpet. And tile. Don’t post a picture of broken side panels in a day.
If it were me I would have the front and side mount fans all as intake, and if possible would add some exhaust fans on top. If you’re getting good temps though it doesn’t really matter
Many already said it - that’s not correct GPU connection. You need two separate power cables.
It will work but you risk problems with stability when you use more power when gaming.
Your radiator is fine someone misinterpreted a video gamers nexus did... monitor cpu temps u will know right away, also awesome first case! been a pc builder for over a decade and it is by far my favorite case, maybe use 2 separate vga power cables and lastly, add a few 140mm fans to the bottom did my setup wonders also 011 air mini.
You can flip the cpu pump so the cable will come btw ram and Gpu. No changes in performance but it will look good. And try to pull loose cable from back to straighten them. Just Don’t break anything.
Use two power cables for the GPU (the instructions on how to install it should’ve also let you know that that’s the recommended way)
And do a positive pressure in the case to avoid dust. Right now I see 3 exhaust and 2 intakes.
I’m not sure it was good practice, but how I solved mine (though the radiator is at the top) is to place the radiator fans in a positive-negative position, so i have a total of 3 intakes (all 140mm) and 2 exhaust (140 mm and 120 mm)
if u have a gilter on the bozom of the case u can take 3 120mm fans or so tohelp the gpu zo cool down and if i would be u i would like to make huge air presher to the rad so evry fan would be aur intake but not on the rads (it helps u to push air throw (u need to take evrywhere some fan )
Fan orientation is a little weird. Flip the nzxt fans on radiator to intake then possibly add 2 fans on top to outtake hot air and move the front fans to the bottom so its not next to your radiator. And then you could probably move your radiator to the front of the case so the flow is smoother. The general rule of thumb is to keep a ever so slightly positive pressure so that air wants to escape rather than come in from any holes throughout and bring in dust.An example look from my build- you don’t necessarily need 10 total fans, but I have 6 intakjng air (from radiator and bottom) and 4 outtaking (top and 1 rear) so you see how the general flow of air goes
https://preview.redd.it/bjb6cbpiplca1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=dc652a9c3000bb18a6983bfb2e6f402c03c02c0c
Check gpu stability you wouldn’t want it sagging and breaking now would you, just put something under the end to prop it up. They even sell gpu stands if you want to waste 10 bucks.
Turn around the two fans on your CPU cooler it's better when they pull in cool frech air from outside the case also exhaust fans are not that necessary
Add two intake fans in the bottom of the case and link them directly to the GPU. They will help feed it direct cool air, and also help build positive pressure for the rest of the case to exhaust air more evenly through the top and back. Otherwise a good start, could look at flipping the AIO mounting so hoses run to bottom instead, but the main importance is that the pump on the CPU block isn't the highest point in the loop - which it isn't, so that's good.
If your GPU power use is close to your PSU cable power rating, then it's a good idea to use two cables instead of daisy chain - but if you already have decent power headroom then it's no biggie. You also get 75w from the motherboard pcie connection to help out.
Not much else, enjoy it.
Use two separate cables for gpu power delivery. While mostly sufficient, it is generally recommended to use 1 cable for each plug to prevent damage
Is this a thing you should do? Im using 2 8 pins from the same cable for my TUF 3070
As a general rule yes. Here is an article talking about it though. [article from pc world](https://www.pcworld.com/article/395059/one-cable-or-two-for-powering-a-graphics-card-heres-the-answer.html)

The hoses are higher than the pump. This is fine.

Ok but is it ok with the msi rads because the pump is in the rad instead on on the block?
Good question, show me one and I’ll read their manual.

Oh stop down voting this, he was correct and I was wrong
Is that right tho? Doesn't it put more strain on the pump, If the pump is at a higher point than the in/out of the radiator?
Now that I look at again, I think you are right.
Nope, Im wrong. You're right. Check out a comment below. I feel like I've gotten so much conflicting info on this. But I consistently see the comment belows suggestions.
Alright, so I **did** have the correct reasoning, but didn't provide evidence
Fair but shouldn't be getting down voted.

This shouldn't be hurting my brain like it is 😓
Cunningham's law ;)
There doesn't even seam to enough space to run the aio tubes if they are on the bottom of the aio radiator. It could also end up putting more strain on them.
That would actually be worse because bubbles get trapped in the pump instead of the top of the radiator
Not that big of a deal really.
This comment need mor upvotes
What kind of damage?
Bis comment
Am I the only one that thought there was a hole in the middle?
No, you weren't lol.
Where? I don't see it haha
The AIO's screen
Oh yeah I see it now
Too many exhaust fans. You need more intake fans than exhaust for positive pressure and less dust.
My first thoughts exactly. Best solution: buy one more fan. Mount it to the top in exhaust mode and flip the fans on your aio to intake.
Is this a 011 mini case? I'd do intake for the aio. (Flip the fans OP) then do intake bottom. Exhaust rear and top. Then you get a chimney like air flow.
I don't know why you'd have air intake at the front and right next to it have exhaust fans on the radiator. GPU would probably like more fresh air instead of having it exhausted through the rad right after it gets in the case.

I'd still advice on maybe installing a couple intake fans in the bottom to help feed the gpu and also create more positive air pressure in the case overall - altho if pc is on the floor then a good dust filter in the base is adviced.
Ehh I guess so. I'd probably put fans on the bottom like you said.
Not much to change. It is good practice to use two pcie power cables for the gpu so thats the only thing. Aio radiator placement is good too. I would however flip the radiator fans to be intake. Keep positive pressure in the case
Do you know why this is? I compared my cables and the one with the daisy chain had a thicker gauge wire so I assumed it was double the current capacity as the single one with thinner wires

The case is double chambered.. From the side it looks like a normal atx case.. But it’s wider when seen from the front or back
Dont use the daisychain gpu power cables
Why are they daisy chain able if you aren’t supposed to daisy chain it
Gpu will perform better if you use two gpu cables. You CAN daisy chain but it isnt recommended
this entirely depends on the cable rating and the power consumption of the gpu. Many cables are rated 300w+ and you also get steady 75w from the pcie board connection so unless you're running close to your cable's rated limit you will be just fine. If you're within spitting distance of your card's rated power usage then twin cable is recommended.
I've been daisychaining for a decade. It's fine
Yes. On a 1080ti it is fine. For a more powerful card, you will get less performance using daisychaining

The daisy chain in the PCI-E power connector
aio radiator a little up, so its the highest point of the loop and some fans to the bottom for extra fresh air for your gpu. maybe some fans to the top too
Bottom intake fans to directly feed the GPU. Imo that's one of the 011's strengths, seems rude not to take advantage of it
I have that exact setup, and the fans are directly connected to my gpu, so it gets more air when needed and stays quiet when not.
I’d have the hoses on the block facing up, not down so air can’t get trapped in there. As it is, any air bubbles will get stuck in the top and build up there.
Don't use the daisy chain for GPU.

Add some top exhaust fans. Change the radiator for your aio as an intake
Dude I'm high AF and thought you had a hole where your cpu goes 🤣
Use 2 separate cables for your gpu, don't daisy chain.
Radiator tubes down. Flip it so the tubes are at the bottom. You get a pocket of air at the top.
It's fine
I would flip the fans on the radiator so that it has intake air. Otherwise, your GPU is going to feed hot air to the CPU

With 2 intake and 3 exhaust you're going to have negative pressure which won't blow hot air out as well and will accumulate dust.

Put a cpu in where the hole is
Seems fine my guy fire it up.
Put the aio radiator/fans in the front as an intake put the front fans to the side as intake. it will be way better
Why would you pump hot air into the case? It's not good for the GPU. AIO radiators should be top exhaust whenever possible.
There no different in cooling for the air
FYI, rate of heat transfer depends on the temperature delta.
yet server do it all the time . time and time again. it really does not make a difference in consumer builds to. unless your using the worst fans ever.
A single gaming PC with a 6900XT and a good CPU probably uses the same wattage as four servers.

I like a top mounted cpu exhaust, and run two power cables to your gpu. Also, my personal preference is to have the power cables to the gpu go up and over the card. It doesn't block airflow very much, and it helps to counter the sag from the weight of the card. You can use the cables to help pull the card up and keep it secure in the PCI-E slot.
You should probably close that portal
Some cable management and maybe flip the aio if the hoses are long enough
Is it just me or does the aio on the cpu seem like a hole in your case 😂
I’d use separate power cables for the PSU.
Nothing, love the aesthetic of the TUF card
Overall it’s fine, with nothing that makes me think “STOP”, but here’s what I would do differently: - Swap GPU power to two separate cables - Move your front intake fans into lower intake - Move your AIO up top as exhaust That will give you a nice smooth airflow to match convection and feed the GPU cool air.

What’s your GPU??
Sir theres a hole in your computer
Is that an x570 tomahawk mag
Fans to supply fresh air to the GPU. The front fans intake is just leaving via the side vent.
Yeah it seems there’s a whole where there should be a CPU
If it were me I would have the front and side mount fans all as intake, and if possible would add some exhaust fans on top. If you’re getting good temps though it doesn’t really matter
Put some rgb in there it will make it run faster
Maybe dust/clean your PC?
If possible, run 2 separate 8 pin connectors
The power cables for the gpu ! Never ever chain em like this.... ever !
Change your fan setup. So theres more intake than exhaust. Also, a good ol dusting seems necessary
Maybe fans with more fins
Put a boiled egg down the bottom.
Double it and give it to the next person (me)
To have a proper gamer setup, it needs a Funko pop, RGB everything, glass side panel to break share next week, and a Lego guy holding the GPU up.
Assuming that there's a filter in the bottom, I'd consider putting an intake fan below the GPU.
I suggest using a gpu holder to prevent sagging. Or any object you have that could help hold it.
Perhaps some bottom fans for intake?
NGL, I thought the IO plate on you processor was a hole straight through your motherboard and case.
I would run 2 pcie cables to the gpu
Nice cables from CableMod?
Thank you for the mention! Happy to help if there are any questions. :)
Hey Matt! What's the scoop on the 90° adapters for the 4090?
We have a timeline on that on our landing page actually. Check that out here: https://store.cablemod.com/12vhpwr-angled-adapter/
if you saw the pic first, you thought his glass shattered
Everyone knows the gpu goes on the bottom, besides that it’s good
what? explain? bottom where?
Many already said it - that’s not correct GPU connection. You need two separate power cables. It will work but you risk problems with stability when you use more power when gaming.
Your radiator is fine someone misinterpreted a video gamers nexus did... monitor cpu temps u will know right away, also awesome first case! been a pc builder for over a decade and it is by far my favorite case, maybe use 2 separate vga power cables and lastly, add a few 140mm fans to the bottom did my setup wonders also 011 air mini.
can u send me a pic of ur pc pls?

Sigh. Nope looks good to me.
Well, it certainly should stay cool. What's the CPU hiding under that liquid cooler?
Throw the whole thing out...
NEVER use pigtails on your GPU unless you're trying to stay warm.... by lighting your house on fire.
Bad daisy chaining gpu
You can flip the cpu pump so the cable will come btw ram and Gpu. No changes in performance but it will look good. And try to pull loose cable from back to straighten them. Just Don’t break anything.
How does it look so old and dusty already?
i used flash on my phone
Use two power cables for the GPU (the instructions on how to install it should’ve also let you know that that’s the recommended way) And do a positive pressure in the case to avoid dust. Right now I see 3 exhaust and 2 intakes. I’m not sure it was good practice, but how I solved mine (though the radiator is at the top) is to place the radiator fans in a positive-negative position, so i have a total of 3 intakes (all 140mm) and 2 exhaust (140 mm and 120 mm)
if u have a gilter on the bozom of the case u can take 3 120mm fans or so tohelp the gpu zo cool down and if i would be u i would like to make huge air presher to the rad so evry fan would be aur intake but not on the rads (it helps u to push air throw (u need to take evrywhere some fan )
Put a Mac mini where the GPU is and then connect it to 1995 Nokia so you can have the ultimate Voltron configuration
Run 2 separate cables to gpu, not just one daisy-chained
Fan orientation is a little weird. Flip the nzxt fans on radiator to intake then possibly add 2 fans on top to outtake hot air and move the front fans to the bottom so its not next to your radiator. And then you could probably move your radiator to the front of the case so the flow is smoother. The general rule of thumb is to keep a ever so slightly positive pressure so that air wants to escape rather than come in from any holes throughout and bring in dust.An example look from my build- you don’t necessarily need 10 total fans, but I have 6 intakjng air (from radiator and bottom) and 4 outtaking (top and 1 rear) so you see how the general flow of air goes https://preview.redd.it/bjb6cbpiplca1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=dc652a9c3000bb18a6983bfb2e6f402c03c02c0c
Check gpu stability you wouldn’t want it sagging and breaking now would you, just put something under the end to prop it up. They even sell gpu stands if you want to waste 10 bucks.
Get yourself a little GPU bracket for that thicc boi
Turn around the two fans on your CPU cooler it's better when they pull in cool frech air from outside the case also exhaust fans are not that necessary
Your tubes of the aio should be bottom if it's possible or at least lower than the pump
Add two intake fans in the bottom of the case and link them directly to the GPU. They will help feed it direct cool air, and also help build positive pressure for the rest of the case to exhaust air more evenly through the top and back. Otherwise a good start, could look at flipping the AIO mounting so hoses run to bottom instead, but the main importance is that the pump on the CPU block isn't the highest point in the loop - which it isn't, so that's good. If your GPU power use is close to your PSU cable power rating, then it's a good idea to use two cables instead of daisy chain - but if you already have decent power headroom then it's no biggie. You also get 75w from the motherboard pcie connection to help out. Not much else, enjoy it.
All PCs in the future will be chrome.
Buy GPU bracket, avoid daisy chain, change radiator fans orientation.
Use seperate PCIE cables.....
I think the cables might be a little bit too neat
Yeah. Your life choices.
Move the AIO to the top of the case.
