[@toyomatt84]

You may not have air getting trapped in the pump block, but with the hoses like that you will start to see air pockets developing at the top of the radiator where the hoses connect. So, you'll eventually start to see reduced flow to and from the pump block because it'll start to starve the lines. Having the radiator flipped with the hose connections on the bottom will eliminate that. And, since the pump block is mounted lower than the top of the radiator, air won't get trapped in the pump block.

[@moothu]

I noticed that too, you are right

[@ssmokie5237]

Actually, I think it still would get trapped in the pump block because the air is going to go up, I don't think the air would be able to go down through the lines then up into the rad

[@flashh.4512]

top mount is the way to go in my opinion

[@WalterBlacc]

Top mount all the way

[@kofeyh]

Air will work to the highest point, which is the top of the radiator. As long as the pump is below the intake/ outflow of the radiator pump wear would be expected to be minimal.

@@shiiriko i mean whats even the point of getting 20+ cores for gaming aside from bragging rights? you wont even use all of them and you'd end up spending more on cooler/motherboard/PSU/ power bill. its a waste. i got a i7 13700kf with 4070ti and the cpu doesnt even get used that much, when 3d rendering id rather just use the GPU only as the CPU eats as much as the GPU in terms of wattage while not adding much to lowering render time.

[@shiiriko]

@@fdevaa i mean the 7800x3d(395 bucks ish) costs less than the 13900K and performs just as good in games or sometimes better, as well as having a much much much lower power consumption. can also be cooled with a simple double tower cooler, which at the most costs 70-100 bucks depending on how fancy you want to be (ive got two friends that use air cooling systems with it, one a cheaper version and another one went with a fancier one - none of them have any issues playing games on fancy settings and 2K) mainboards are probably the only real pricey thing, but even there you can make affordable choices & ddr5 ram aint much more expensive than ddr4 (if at all) either. the only reason for buying these high core CPUs is for creative reasons i suppose - c4d, blender, AE, premiere, vegas whatever. would go with the 7800x3d anyday of the week as for now when you got a 4070ti or better
