Orientation

[twin garden]

Flip the fans on the radiator so that they intake air. Right now there's turbulence with the AIO fans pushing air out to the front of the case colliding with the air the stock front case fans are pulling into the case

Orientation in another manner lol: check the lock orientation icon in your phone's dashboard so you're not filming something portrait mode but sideways when you meant to film in landscape mode

@acoustic mist u should flip aio or top mount it

[acoustic mist]

Thank you

[acoustic mist]

I wish I could but I wasn't able to due to size

[mystic plume]

Why can’t u top mount it?

[acoustic mist]

I can't remember exactly what but it just didn't fit

Something was getting in the way

[mystic plume]

How about mounting like this

@acoustic mist

[acoustic mist]

It does look cool that way, but apparently it's worse for the AIO but having the pump higher than the radiator

[mystic plume]

the pump gets higher when u flip the rad?]

[acoustic mist]

Kinda hard to explain but I maybe seeing on a few places that having the tubing from the radiator going down to the pump is better than having the tubing from the radiator going up to the pump

Basically it's better having the radiator above the pump than below. Idk if it's 100% true though but I remember reading it a few times

[mystic plume]

That’s simply wrong, having it at the top causes bubbles to get in your loop which causes a horrible noise and worse temps, and I’m speaking from experience ;)) ideally u would top mount, but having the tubes at the bottom is a lot better

[acoustic mist]

Wait so where doed my radiator positioning fall in this chart?

Is this bad?

[mystic plume]

Bottom left

And I would recommend flipping it

[acoustic mist]

Oh I see

Well I haven't noticed any sounds from the radiator or pump really at all, but I don't wanna damage it. And any extra performance to cooling i can get i would take

Rn I'm getting temps of about 82 degrees max in cinebench with my i7 13700k, you think that could be reduced?

[mystic plume]

It won’t damage it, and yea it won’t come up

[acoustic mist]

Oh ok

Wdym it won't come up?

[mystic plume]

Sorry, won’t come up straight away

[acoustic mist]

Oh ok

Well when I get free time next I'll try and flip the rad, and also change the fans into intake rather rather exhaust

[mystic plume]

Yea cool

[acoustic mist]

👍

[mystic plume]

Probably

Depends

82 is fine tho

[acoustic mist]

Oh ok

[mystic plume]

It won’t be 82 if a bubble gets in there lol

[acoustic mist]

Damn

Oh yeah also how do you recommend I change my fans position?

Should I flip my front fans or AIO fans?

Changing the front fans will mean the AIO suck potentially warm air from inside the case and blow it out the front

Changing the AIO fans will mean it sucks cold air from outside the case, through the radiator and potentially blow warm air into the PC

[mystic plume]

Yea

That’s how u want it
