Q&A

Can air trapped in the radiator affect the pump's lifespan?

Yes, air trapped in the radiator can lead to premature wear and damage to the pump.

Is it wrong to have the tubes at the top in AIO orientation?

No, having the tubes at the top is not necessarily wrong, as long as the pump is lower than the inlets and outlets of the radiator.

Why is the highest point of the loop important in AIO systems?

The highest point of the loop impacts air movement and the potential for air to get trapped in the pump or radiator.

Does tubing length affect mounting 360 radiators upside down?

Yes, the length of the tubing may limit the ability to mount 360 radiators upside down, especially if there are components like a graphics card directly underneath.

Why is it important to get the facts straight about AIO orientation?

Understanding the truth about AIO orientation allows you to make informed decisions based on accurate information, rather than relying on common myths.
