AIO Cooler facing down feels like pulling

Meczox_

So I’ve been using my AIO in the front and its higher than the pump and stuff and make air bubbles but i want to flip it but it felt like i was pulling it alot so i didn’t want to destroy the AIO is it normal to pull the AIO To mount it downwards

What do you mean pull it?

 

Have it so the tubes are at the rear of the case, they are plenty long for that.

I dont think that you want the piping/tubes below the actual pump itself, and the tubes shouldnt be taut as far as im aware

 

Edit, besides it looks like the rad is in a good position as it is

You didn't watch the video you linked? Link is set to start when they talk about tubes on top..

Can you not put it on the top..? On the top as exhaust is your best bet, that way your not blowing all the hot air right into your PC case................. And top is the best for the pump/pump noise.

yes and they say at the end while the life of the aio might be affected by the pumps being on top and it is not entirely recommended that it is possible to do so, in this case with no room on top and the tubes pulling then there is no option thus I dont see a need currently to have him/her potentially damage something further, though i do suggest getting a new case that will better fit an aio since this doesnt 

 

and you are correct I miss quoted I meant to say the pump above the pipe, so I do apologize.

if it's putting a lot of tension in the pipes, then dont do that

 

as long as your radiator outlet is above the pump, you should be ok

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Top of the case, tubes facing down is best. Front of the case, tubes on bottom is next best. Front of the case, tubes on top can be bad. You want to avoid the pump or tubes being the high spot. Air will accumulate there.
