If you cannot or unable to do the "best" option, do the "better" option unless you are going for the aesthetic design then "okay" option is better, I think he did fine, I would rather him not flip the the rad like you said,
wraith tusk
yea no i see
glacial obsidian
A lot of people in the #pc-assembly-help told me and everyone else a number of times, they all showed the same picture as well to anyone willing to learn, I do not think the image is flawed
wraith tusk
and i said the cooler is flawed by design
not the image
the way the cooler is designed people are gonna use it in the "okay" position
cause honestly this looks off
glacial obsidian
All aio cooler have the same design though, only do they differ on aesthetic design or maybe by a few centimeters give or take
Are you saying his cooler is flawed by design?
Why do you think his cooler is flawed by design?
wraith tusk
no all aio's that uise that pump design then
glacial obsidian
By what criteria are you describing the pump design to be flawed?

It's fine as is. Mines the same way. A lot of people completely misunderstand the problem with AIOs. I'd never have the pipes at the top of the rad 'okay' in that diagram: you're just asking fro air bubbles to be pulled down the pipes all thetiume. Keep the intake pipe submerged in the 'better' postion.
Thought it was mine at a glance, tbh!

I agree with you, that is why I wanna know why he wanted the OP to flip his rad, and he was saying something about a flawed design, I am still waiting for his response, by what criteria he is saying the cooler pump design is flawed

If it is, then they mostly all are, since it's an asetek design used by virtually everyone. It's the position of the pump that matters. It shouldn't be the highest point in the system, or it acts as an air trap.

If what he responds with is correct in terms of telling the OP to "flip his rad", it may shatter the whole asetek design architecture accepted by everyone

thats not entirely true
asetek based aios sure, theyre all similar enough where u can say they use the same design in functionality
but apaltek, KD industrial, Alphacool, EK, Fly alpine CoolIT and etc use a bunch of designs
some pump in rad designs, far less air in those designs and u can mount rad in any position
oh and an aio must have air no matter what, if u bleed all the air out it WILL explode - heat causes water to expand, pressure builds up, kaboom

What design do you think the OP has?
glacial obsidian
the nzxt cooler? that's asetek
Yeah, that's why I was only reiterating the asetek design, and want to see his response on what criteria does he thinks the OP should "flip his rad" cause of a flawed design of the cooler pump
bronze lodge
the "okay" design should basically perform same as the better design
air will stay at highest point in loop
pump wont be able to draw them in
only downside is u might hear water slushing around a bit more

I agree with you, they should basically perform the same, but he said there is a flawed design in the cooler pump, which made him tell the OP to "flip his rad", and I would like to know his criteria for that flawed design, as performance will basically be the same, so other than aesthethic reasons, I do not see any difference

The reason I called the design flawed is because the way it looks people will use the "okay" method, as that looks the best, even though it might not be the best for the pump
bronze lodge
i mean its fine for the pump lol
just from an audible standpoint, it can make water sloshing noises
somber lintel
I put the pump with the hoses down because I can't top mount it (not enough room) and all the reading o did and YouTube videos it was said that tubes down is best for front mounting so that's what I went with
