Hello everyone this my first time using an AIO wanted to try it out on my new case I got.

My question is have I mount this AIO the right way? I got the front fans facing at the radiator pushing into it but unsure if the way I mounted it is the right way or not would like some certificates please.

Looks good to me 🙂 

Tubes look good. Having fans as intake is correct.

Thank you! I was getting so much mixed and different info with people saying the tubes have to face down or that you got to mount it at the top.

Yeah, there is a lot of mixed opinion out there.

You have a part of the radiator above the pump so air bubbles can sit there instead of in the pump.


This looks good to me 🙂 

If I had a front mounted AIO, this is how I would do it.

I'm a fan of top mounting.  This way the air can accumulate in the upper part of the rad, not in the pump or that junction.

 

I am sure it only impacts the extended life of a rad, as you don't accumulate air for years.

 

For all intents and purposes the OP is just fine.

Only thing I see is I would undo and turn fans 180 degrees so the cords are behind the AIO.

Will have to figure that one out as the are almost part of the AIO in way for this cooler.
