Antec Kuhler 620 Install

Quick question on this CPU cooler.

As everyone knows the instructions suck.

After viewing videos on installs, they mostly have the radiator oriented the way i do (as shown in the photo)

Now on the photo on the box, they have it pictured opposite, with the rubber hoses oriented on the top, rather than the bottom.

What is the correct orientation of the radiator, hoses at the top or bottom?

Top would probably allow bubbles to bleed out of the system if there are any, however either way should work fine... i keep mine on bottom due to space restrictions and have no issues.

It should not matter either way. The radiator is full completely, so you can put it either way up and the water will still move just fine.

Hoses on the bottom otherwise you will get noise from air bubbles.

im going to try them up top just because it orients the cpu block/pump much better.

not sure why you just took apart the pre sealed unit...

 

[essartee4]

Adding uv coolant, a res, and clear tubing. Just because.

just realize now your going to have to flush that thing out periodically cus the additives tend to make stuff not work as well.

Will be easy with the res - and very little coolant in that loop.

Should look good.
