Would the radiator on the top, and block below that work?

I am sorry, I am not sure I understand your question. You mean if the radiator is on Roof A+B positions? (for 240 rads)? I suppose it helps a bit, but the most optimal position (usually written in the manual) is the tubes down and configured as exhaust. But I don't think I have seen a case that allows to mount 240/360 rad vertically as an exhaust. Unexplored option may be? I don't know.

Mine the bottom pulling air in, side also pulling air in because my rad at the top pulling air out.

Beautiful case huh? The entire time I was doing the build i kept thinking just how smart this case design is. Totally worth the money. Super sexy.

HI,
Yeah funny isn't it, warranty doesn't care how it's mounted

@lZKoce & @ThrashZone

I thought Koce was kidding but if you guys know something I do not, please explain to me why I would be killing my AIO? I've had rads mounted in all sorts of different parts of cases over the years, up top, bottom, rear, front, outside of case all together standing up in my DangerDen external rad housing (which could hold multiple RADS in the standing position), and I have never experienced any issues with any mounting orientation.

Temps with this new rad are fantastic too. so what gives?

You're not killing anything, all AIOs have an air bubble in them, that air bubble gets bigger over time as coolant evaporates and if the tubes are upright then it can get so large that the return hose is not returning water to pump fast enough then the pump burns out/starts making noise etc...

This takes a quite long time -- I would guess 2-3 years at the very least on a quality AIO, and by the time that happens it's likely that the coolant broke down as well and the block is gummed up also, so I wouldn't really worry about it. If your tubes were down, and the block didn't gum up, then the air bubble could continue to grow without issues depending on how the radiator channels are laid out in that particular aio.

It's more of a longevity thing if you're keeping the aio for long periods between builds.

Oh gotcha. My pump is in the rad. I'm sure that helps and will add life to the pump as well. I have three other AIO water systems in three other gaming rigs, all top mounted and all have been running for 4 years, 3 years and 6 years. No problems from any of them. The 6 year old rad is still working well but I will go home and check temps. Maybe temps have climbed without my knowing considering the age.

I have three or 4 more brand new Corsair AIO systems on my PC parts shelf that I can pick from. Might just swap out that old one.

Having your pump in the rad is actually a bit worse, since it's at the highest point of the AIO, so you may want to flip it to avoid air in the pump, and have the pump at the bottom and air bubbles at the top where they don't matter/affect anything.

Nothing is going to necessarily die but it is a better layout to have the pump at the lowest point in the loop vs the highest.

dogwitch · Dec 14, 2020

again overall dont worry about it. its no real worry.
seeing more aio that are sold in the usa
over 50% is made by 1 manf.

just fyi if the only source you can claim is 1... that poor research.

well seems the set i got of ram 1 stick dead. amazon does not have a replacment set in stock and opted a friendly 30 bucks for a partial return ......

Which cases are these?

WhiteNoise · Dec 14, 2020

The pump is located exactly center of top fan. So not at the very top of the rad. I'm not sure if this is anything to worry about.

Very clean build and that card looks insanely beefy. And that mini-display is icing on the cake. Here's my ride: nothing special, but things are what they are. Yes it's a Lamptron fan controller with no touch displays. You have to manually rotate the knobs

God damn you nvidia You made me go back to windows

after two days of trying to install nvidia drivers on ubuntu got pissed and shake the hand of the devill.

ThrashZone · Dec 20, 2020

Hi,
Device manager sux
Problem is on linux you're not on old hardware it will take a while for newer drivers
I had to post on mint forum to add newer intel ethernet driver on 20 version no internet on startup but I guess they finally did it's started working after some updates.

Last time I used mint was 5 years ago not many improvements either since then.

HammerON · Dec 21, 2020

Had a hard time getting a decent picture of the new GPU in the main rig. I think the strolling LED's really mess with the pictures. Sorry for the haziness in the first one.

WhiteNoise · Dec 23, 2020

Bought a new case for my daughter and swapped in some hardware I had laying around. She really wanted a pink case. I put it all together over the last weekend, but added the decal and figure last night. This is part of her Christmas gifts.

I thought I was buying a statue type figure, had no idea it was a snap-together model. lol

I bought 4 RGB fans to add to it. Using a controller box to adjust colors. The window is tinted so it keeps the lights nice and dim.
