[SOLVED] AIO orientation help.

Hello,
I have watched some videos on this, but I’m not sure if my build is done the right way or the wrong way. How should I mount the rad of the H100i? Here is my build:

You should flip your radiator so that the tubes are coming from the top, not the bottom of your case. Putting the AIO pump at the highest point can lead to bubbles in the pump and kill it faster. Just rotate your radiator 180 deg and it should be fine.

ok thanks, but right now I am watching JaysTwoCents video, and he said that tubes down is good. Im just confused which is the right way.

Any air that might be in the system would end up at the highest point, the top of the rad.
Return back to the pump might end up starved for fluid.

You don't want the pump to be the highest point, but with the system as it is now, it is not.


I believe the orientation in that pic is the correct way to go.
IMHO, of course.

right, that was my thought that the top of the loop is the top of rad, so air will go there. Should I leave it how is?

As far as I'm concerned, yes...leave it as is.
