rip aio

[grim swallow]

flip the aio pls

[tight echo]

its the correct way bubbles aren't hindering the waterflow

[grim swallow]

now im not an aio expert but im pretty sure it should be flipped up not down

[tight echo]

air goes to the top of the rad why would I put the pipes directly there? pipes at the bottom let the water flow much in and out of the pup much better its simple science pipes are also completely movable it is an EK water black aio LMFAO

bottom orientated rads or front rads with pipes at the top is just silly

[grim swallow]

not from what ive heard from anyone but ok

[tight echo]

search up how air and water works lmfao

[grim swallow]

bro that literally tells me im right

[tight echo]

"having the radiator mounted with the tubes down means"

[grim swallow]

"in general you want to make sure that the radiator is in a higher position in the loop than the pump

[tight echo]

yeah radiator not the pipes LMFAO

air collects here why would you want the pump gargling for water when the pipes are at the bottom LIKE ITS MEANT TO BE the pump is working normally and ONLY sucking water

[grim swallow]

ok so everyone does it wrong

[tight echo]

"preferably"

[grim swallow]

i have mine at the top so idrk

but alr

[tight echo]

its not wrong its just not preferred most aios don't have long enough pipes do mount it correctly

[grim swallow]

i mean the radiator at the top

[tight echo]

the air is above the pump like its meant to be the pipes are completely submerged with water

[sudden lagoon]

The reason why it is recomended to flip it is not because of air, because of longevity, the pump has a longer life span.

[tight echo]

Actually the way I have it is proven to have the longer life span 😂

Longer life span is pipes at the bottom of the rad either at the top or the front so no air comes anywhere close to the pipes and water flow

[compact wigeon]

Longer lifespan is minimal

I had an aio that lasted me 2 years and was perfectly fine vertical

[sudden lagoon]

Ok, keep on doing what you do

[compact wigeon]

most of the time people replace their aios within 3 years

So it doesn’t matter anyway

Not gonna argue with anyone just saying it’s pointless

[tight echo]

@compact wigeon and tbh if my AIO is in the preferred way not sure why I'm being pinged and being told to rotate it when it clearly fits

[compact wigeon]

There’s just a little bit of longevity from having it the other way

At the end of the day you’re aio is you’re aio
