can the Corsair H105 be front mounted?

[Vanilla_Bear]

I am looking to buy the Corsair H105, which will be front mounted in my case but the pump will be higher than the radiator so any air bubbles that are in the system may stop that water from flowing, unless the system has no air bubbles at all. My question is has anyone got experience with from mounted closed loop systems

Depends on the case. What have you got?

I have a CiT Vanquish case, I have removed the hard drive bays and moved my hard drive into the top 3.5" bay, the case has two 120 mm fans in the front at the moment which I have put in. I do have to remove some more of the metal to improve air flow for when I get the radiator. I was just wondering if the H105 would be fine sitting with the pump above the radiator

No. The pipes would simply be pushed too hard against the optical bay. The fan mounts are incredibly close to the bay. I wouldn't attempt it.

I have no problem getting it to fit in my case all i need to know is if the pump will function fine if when in operation the pump is higher than then radiator so that if there are any air bubbles in the system at all they won't stop fluid from traveling round the system
