#

just a suggestion - top mount or front mount that AIO

#

bottom mounting an AIO is quite unhealthy for the pump's lifespan

#

its a 280mm aio?

#

and your case only supports 120mm fans top and front?

#

by quite a bit. air will naturally settle at the top of an aio, i.e where your pump is located.
it'll not only be noisier, but also worsen the life span of your pump

#

with a front mount or top mount aio, the radiator will be the tallest point instead of the pump

#

and air settling in a radiator is not an issue

#

aio pumps use water for lubrication. air pockets caused it to lack lubrication and decrease it's lifespan significantly

#

top mount if you can else buy new case

#

next best thing front mount
