I’ve found that top mounted AIO radiators can interfere with the RAM depending on models of the RAM and the case - i had a Corsair build with a 220 case, Vengeance RGB Pro RAM and a 240mm H100 AIO and I could not mount the AIO on top without bumping into the RAM (same parts fit in my 4000X case)
@Danaugrego2 жыл бұрын
GN did a great video about having the tubes at the top on a vertical radiator. The tubes should definitely be at the bottom, so the air sits at the top of the rad. Whereas when the tubes are at the top the liquid will “trickle” into the barbs and causing a gurgling noise and not feed the pump sufficiently.

One tip I could offer, if and when you decide to swap your air cooler for an AIO cooler. Run your pc before disassembling the air cooler to make the old thermal paste unstick from the cooler. I didn't do that and it was a nightmare getting my cooler off my CPU it was essentially fused and I risked damaging my CPU and the socket.

One thing Jason somewhat mentioned but could easily be over looked; It's very important for your pump to run at or near 100% speed. A mistake I made when I first got an AIO was match my pump speed to my fan curves which started at 20% and ramped up to 100% at 80C. Pumps can miss behave or not function if they are set at or below 30-40%. Even though the pump would reach 100% voltage at 80C since it got too little voltage at boot it wouldn't reach full speed causing the CPU to run an extra 10C hotter under load. Pumps work best the faster they can pull heat away from the cold plate!
@PCBuilderChannel2 жыл бұрын
Yes always best to run the pump as fast as possible as it is essentially free cooling without much noise difference compared to having to run fans faster. Just like fans, pump constantly changing speeds is what causes the most wear.

@@larrykrappenschitz9926 Unless you see an extra set of holes where you plan to mount it I doubt it will fit. Yes, you can set your pump speed with software 3rd or 1st party software, but I'd recommend only using those while testing noise levels and once you've found your sweet spot plug it into bios and save it to a profile. Make sure to uncheck PWM(and or Smart mode) if it's an option, it'll be in the pump/fan control section, it'll cause fluctuation in current to the pump but you just want it at a static speed. It's fine to have it on your fans but not the pump, otherwise your temps will be unpredictable. What brand motherboard do you have?

This is a very good beginner's summary in a quick and concise video. Kudos. My main issues with AIOs is the lifespan as you mentioned. With so more mechanical components, there's much possibilities of failure than a simple fan failure in an air cooler. Even if the pump and fans all last to their rated capacity and beyond, the issue of eventual evaporation of coolant sets an eventual limit. (The Bequiet Silent Loop does allow refill though its cooling performance is average at best in exchange for low noise). I have encountered way more AIOs fail or simply reached EOL than a simple heat sink fan which often outlast even the socket the CPU is mounted on. Also lastly, this a pet peeve of mine but a lot of cases can't mount top of the line 280/360 AIOs on the roof with clearance for motherboards due to VRM heatsink being too big or RAM size. I kinda wish there is more standardization on this on the amount of free case height above the motherboard.

I am watercooling my pc for around 25 years now. I began doing it in 1999. :D My first system was a tupperware as a water tank, an aquarium pump in tupperware, car heater radiator, silicon hoses and cpu, gpu and northbridge block. :D Know I am going to make an another interesting attempt to cool my new built but old render machine: X99 chinese mainboard, 2 x Xeon E5 - 2697 v4 cpu, 128gb ram. :D All bought used for dirt cheap. For this dirt cheap, old, but yet powerfull setup, I have a dirtcheap but effective cooling solution. I allready have a 7 year old Corsair 24cm aio cooler. I bought a coolermaster 14cm aio for 9 usd used. :D And It is working! :D I will cut one of the hoses, combine the two in series. :D CPU1 to 14cm radiator, 14cm radiator to CPU2, CPU2 to 24cm radiator. :D This means two pumps though. I don't know it will be a problem or not; but I will test it. 14cm + 24cm radiator would be a little weak for two 2697 v4 cpus. If that will be the case, I will find another dirt cheap aio and add that to the system. :D What can I cool with the third cpu block? Mainboard maybe? :D I can mount it on the coller gills of the mainboard? I am not sure. I can hear the obvious question: What is your case? My case is 20 year old Cooler Master Stacker. :D You can buy it for dirt cheap. It can easily handle two 24cm radiators, 12 HDDs, two CPUs, 8 16gb rams, two PSUs, one SAS card, one 10gbit ethernet card and one gtx 1080ti. :D Nothing fancy. No RGBs, no glass at the side panel; but it has 4 wheels. :D I added USB 3.0 ports also (I disasamblied USB 2.0 ports and glued an extender cord perfectly). Dirt cheap render / HDD server / Second pc at home office. I bought Chinese x540 10gbit ethernet card. It works perfectly. Heats like hell. So I added a fan on top of it. I am supplying 5V to 12V 6cm fan. It is more than enough to cool down the ethernet card and it is silent because it is on 5V. The card has two 10gbit output. I bought two more. One is for my pc, one is for the third pc. I will directly connect them to each other without a switch. :) Again, cheap solution. :D I allready have six 4 TB disks. I will sell four of them and buy eight HGST 4TB SAS disks. Why? Because sata disks are more expensive in my country; but sas disks are more durable and fast. Used Sata disks are around 45 usd in my country. Used Sas disks are around 25 usd. Since I have a sas card that supports 8 disks, I will use 8 SAS disks and two Sata disks. ---------------------------------- AIOs tend to breakdown because of integrated pump. Nothing else becomes a problem.

if you do have a top mesh filter, you can always just cut it away around the AIO, leaving the mesh over the open areas, to keep dust etc from falling in. Sometimes the gaps around rads are big enough that the rad fans don't push all of it away, especially at lower fan speeds

I believe that when you build your computer you consider these facts. The AIO's purpose is to cool the CPU not the case. Hot air always rises. A very good reason to place the radiator and its fans at the top of the case. You cannot put size 12 feet into size 10 shoes, without problems. I learned this with my last build. I bought a Thermaltake Commander C-33 case and their Toughliquid Ultra 360 AIO. I quickly become aware of a few problems. The AIO's radiator could not be centered at the top of the case because of a case corner brace. The AIO did not allow sufficient room for the top-mounted case-control wires to pass. It wanted ALL of the top space for itself. The three large fans make access to the MB's top wire pins nearly impossible. I had to put the plugs on the pins before I installed the fans. I learned two great lessons. Always keep all the packaging handy if you need to return anything and that patience is a virtue. I did get the AIO to work but I wish that I had planned the operation a little bit better.

One thing to note: 280mm radiators are an excellent alternative to 360mm radiators if you don't have the room for a 360 in your case. A 280mm radiator takes two 140mm fans and a 360mm radiator takes three 120mm fans. So while you might think a 280mm radiator is a little over 1/3rd the surface area of a 360mm radiator, it's actually around 90%.

Note, for a Ryzen 5800x and 5800x3d using a 360mm AIO is highly recommended, they have the same power draw as 5900 and 5950 but they're a single chiplet and will have a higher overall temp.
@eracer1111 Жыл бұрын
I have a 5800X and a custom loop setup. The CPU water block runs through a 240mm top-mount with two fans in a push config. During gaming my CPU temps seldom hit 60°C and I see no throttling. I think maybe an AIO is less efficient than a custom loop (because of having less water available to soak up heat.) But if you match the power draw of the CPU and the power capacity of the radiator, you'll be fine in either case. The max power for the 5800X is 219W, so a 240mm AIO with a capacity of 200W+ would be fine. But you have to pay attention (and pay.) The Arctic Freezer II 240mm AIO can handle that much power dissipation. Cheaper ones would have a problem, and would lead to CPU throttling at max load. If you want a cheaper AIO then yes, a 360mm radiator would be a better option.
@RobBCactive2 ай бұрын
The 5800x3D doesn't need that, I have mine running an all out 100% heavy all core load at under 75C on a 120mm AIO. But I did change the fan to a very efficient (and quiet) one that reviewed well. I simply balanced the fan speed to avoid rising temperature at full load, which also evacuated air from the case fast enough to allow me to switch back to a solid top instead of mesh. The Gamers Nexus review showed 5800x3D had large efficiency gains in their tests, partly due to the new Zen3 stepping which improved the metal layer. The max PPT is 142W and the TDP 105W, not exactly requiring Intel class cooling.

Speaking of leakage, here's some anecdotal evidence for you: I went AiO back on my Haswell system (i5-4670K) when it was just starting to become mainstream, I guess. 2013? 2014? Not sure but around that time. I used a cheapo 2nd or 3rd gen Corsair H60 (the one with the thicker, more rubber-y looking hoses). I used that thing for years and years, then let the PC sit in storage for a year or so. When I got my hands on it again, I took everything apart, making a beeline for the cooler, because I was afraid it might have gone bad. It was ...errr probably 8 years old at the time. In any case: The hoses looked totally fine, even though their rubber sleeves both at the waterblock and at the radiator were showing "rips". Looked like the rubber got worn and tired around there. However: There was no visible leakage or anything like that, not on the AiO itself nor anywhere inside the case. When I had taken the H60 out of the case, I gave the radiator a good shake and it was pretty obvious there was less liquid in there (which is to be expected). But there *was* still liquid in there even after all these years.

He advised water cooling right off the bat and recommended me none other than the Arctic Liquid Freezer 240, which i ended up buying because it seemed like a very solid option for its price (81 euros). Starting a 4 day mini vacation Tuesday and will be taking my sweet time building this bad boy, that overall cost more than my current car. Will have to reinstall Cyberpunk 2077 to take it for a test drive. I will be probably rewatching this video a few times, and a few others, to prepare for the build.

Looking at the video thumbnail... it makes sense. Hot air rises, so you'd want your exhaust fans to be at the highest point possible... and consequently, your intake at the lowest.

4:10 the lifespan of air cooler are much longer. Like kind of endless, because it's just a "metal block". If a fan is broken on the air-cooler, just buy another one. A aio can break before this time. Sure, you can swap the fans on the aio too, but not parts like the pump etc.

16:09 Beautiful cat! 😍 We had two Black litter sisters, Chevy and Drag, that lived for 17 years. Which is more than twice as long as a good AIO will last. Been running a Thermaltake 360 AIO for about four years and think I'm hearing a little pump whine. Putting a Corsair iCUE H150i on the i7 12700k with a 3080Ti in my Thermaltake Core X9 case. Wife is getting my i7 6700k and 1080Ti in a Lian li lancool ii Mesh case with a Cooler Master ML240 RGB. Happy Holidays! Fair winds and following seas to all.

If you buy an AIO, spend anothe $2 amd get an internal pc speaker. Plug the pump into cpu fan socket, and have the alert on fan fail option enabled. A failed pump will overheat your PC a lot quicker than a failed fan (on either air or water cooler).

I used to be one of those "liquid is too much trouble to install and maintain for the risk, I don't do anything so heavy that I need that much cooling". Fast forward to today, streaming, gaming in 1440p, content creation with video editing, and the advancements made in AIOs, the need went up and the risk came down, but my current $30 air cooler is doing pretty well, I just went with 5 pure wings 2 fans on the case and put Kryonaut on GPU and CPU. I'll probably invest in an AIO this year as my workload gets more intense and I look at higher end GPUs, but for now, I'm doing pretty awesome temps and it's VERY quiet, though the cost of 5 140mm pure wings 2 was nothing to scoff at, and AIO may have accomplished the same temps and noise level with the old cheapo case fans, but I won't know for sure til I try it I guess
@XerxezsX2 жыл бұрын
If you install the radiator in the front of the case tubes up is not recommended because the air goes to the top of the tubes directly being pumped to the pump, tubes down is optimal.

@Susceptive35 Жыл бұрын
It has always made more sense to me to give fresh air to the radiator from the front panel. Since hot air rises faster than cold air, it is easier to evacuate the hot air inside the case. I do not recommend sending the hot air inside the case to the radiator, the purpose should be to keep the liquid in the radiator cold. Adjust the speed of the radiator fans according to the processor temperature. If you have enough exhaust fans, you can try the installation as I said.

Depending on my prev experience, best position for AIO is front mounted pull config since you also push air from case fromt fans to the rad. Then of course, put a xouple of push fans at top so that we have an excellent heat exhaust.
@malcolmjelani3588 Жыл бұрын

@oguzhanK1234 Жыл бұрын
@@malcolmjelani3588 Front mounting pull aio means, behind case fans which pull fresh air is directed to the radiator. Then aio fans will push hot air inside the case. however, top and back exhaust fans are push config so they push it out. Since rad is cooler, your cpu will be cooler too. Hot air created by gpu is also exhausted. so win win :)

I recently installed a be quiet pure loop 240mm aio and replaced the 2x fans that came with it for 2x Phanteks T-30 120mm fans. I went with a top mount config in a Fractal Meshify 2 case and it is very silent and cools my Ryzen 5 3600 cpu oc to 4.3ghz all core @1.275v very well. I think be quiet's pure loop series of aio's have something good going for them with their in-line double coupled pump directly on the barbs/tubes rather than in the block head or the rad therefore allowing for more configurations/installations due to the in-line pump. I appreciate the informative video and keep up the great content my guy.
