[SOLVED] NZXT Kraken X73 Pump Location

[LuckyHood]

Hello guys, I made a PC prebuild and it's the first time using an AIO. Do you think it's ok to keep the pump directing down as it is in the photo?

That's not the pump, just a pair of 90-degree angle barbs. The actual pump isn't even visible.
All that matters is that the cpu block isn't the highest point of the loop, which is what the radiator is.

so it's ok to have it mounted on the cpu facing downwards? I mean the barbs that come from the cpu thingy.

It's fine as is, yes.

I am really worried due to the fact that all the aio builds I have seen has them pointed like this.

Nothing wrong with that position either.
All that matters is that something other than the pump is the highest point of the loop. In both images, that's the radiator.

Ok, I will leave it as it is, thanks a lot! Cheers!
