Did you still need help?
Yes, please.

I have to decide how to mount the physical parts of the AIO,
and I'm currently without the PSU. That's not enabling me to make air noise tests.

That means that the fan cable orientation will need to be decided before proceeding to the final mount.

I usually mount and test the system on Card-Board before the case mount.

Radiator ... Front-Up or Front-down ...as I pointed out in the previous post:

Btw: this is the dashboard ... of "Fan Control" I currently use:

Help me solving the Air-In-Pump syndrome dilemma:
Front-Up ?? / Front-Down??

I'll mount different fans. It's Fanless in the pic

Hoses on the radiator down so any air in the system gets trapped at the top and won't travel to the pump.

Ok. Thank you.

I suppose there is no problem with whatever orientation I choose If the PC is ON for months in a row,

My question is related to:
What happens to the air forming inside a static circuit when the PC is stopped for a period?
I'm speaking in the future, not on a fresh install.

From a static position, air will accumulate on the top part of every bend in the circuit...
and I'm afraid it will generate noise after the PC is restarted and working for some time.

The tubing pointing down: too much air imprisoned in the pump will reduce the efficiency of the rotary impeller blades to zero.
For a restarting pump with a diminished capability, it may be difficult to push the bubbles down.


On the other way around, the tubing is pointing up: the bubbles will naturally be relocated to the radiator top.
Where I see the issue there: is the possibility that an efficient pump will suckle down some air.

That's the dilemma.

It will be an issue to change the radiator position <when the noises will appear in the future>
I will have to dismantle all the fans and rotate their cables backward.

( just my tech side posing too many issues for an uncomfortable variable )

Update:
I've found an old article, it was speaking about the possible "fountain" noises with the tube on top,
because air will be locked on the arrival side of the radiator.
It doesn't impact the system's efficiency, but I want a "silent" PC!!

-> Tubing will be Front Down

Health Update

on Jun 28 I went into Coma, the girl that keep my home clean saved me calling the ER.

I stayed unconscious for 5 days in reanimation.
then slowly I started to get reason back.

On Saturday 12 I returned back home.
I'm awfully damaged and was afraid to be forced to go to a care structure.

Yesterday,
I sided the TwenyFour to Purple and started configuring its software.

I use a KVM.

( I will not be normal for a long period.... alas )

Ok....
Now I'm using a sided TwenyFour to Purple, so in my spare time I'm installing/configuring/jumbling the new one to make it identical software-related to the existing one.

I have put underneath a KVM that allows me to use a single mouse/keyboard and to switch both monitors.

Health is still a big issue - doctors are at a lost to understand "WHAT" was the cause :-(
