Hello i have Corsair H80i 

 

 

Corsair Hydro Series H80i V2 Water CPU Cooler 120mm - Newegg.ca

 

 

And this case

Fractal Design Define R5 Blackout Window Silent ATX Midtower Computer Case

Today i watched this video

 

 

And i notice even corsair seem to position their cooler wrong even in their pictures and videos installation. As far as Gamers Nexus says...

 

I was wondering if my position is wrong for real and how should i position it?

 

I'm kinda confused because if i remember i installed it the way it fitted the better in the case... and the corsair logo is not upside down or sideways.

 

This is my setup, please don't mind the dust i know i need to clean it lol

There is 2 pci cards for firewire and more usb ports, don't mind that i know its ugly but i need them.

Your AIO is positioned fine. 

Air will generally rise to the highest point of the loop. It should be good as long as the highest point isn't at the pump or tubing.

did you make sure to watch the whole video?

 

your radiator positioning is specifically what he said was basically best for a radiator. the tubes are on the bottom, so air will float to the top of the radiator.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

Oh also why does my memory runs a 2133mhz but it's 2400 ?

Did you enable XMP in the motherboard settings? If you didn't set it yet, the ram will run at default speed which is 2133mhz.

I remember the note about the tubes above the pump but not on the side

 

although I also remember that his most important note was that it's not the end of the world
