Radiator Orientation question

[synthetic_fenix]

Ok So I have had my water loop running with out issues for over a year now And I'm going to be re-doing the loop this next week to get things cleaned up and such. Well My question is, currently I have the radiator mounted in the front of my Armor with the radiator barbs at the bottom. I was currious as to if it would make any difference having it this way or rotating the radiator to where the barbs are on top?

Pics of how its currently installed.

It really doesnt make a difference except a possible couple of percent which may not even combine to make a degree of difference

Nope, not at all. The hardest part is filling the loop and bleeding it, once that is done it really doesn't matter how the radiator is mounted.

If your taking it all apart maybe I would spin the Radiator around. It would make bleeding the loop much easier. But it really won't hurt anything besides that so it's up to you. If you don't have an issue bleeding it leave it as is. If it takes you 10 hours to bleed the system and you don't like that then flip it :)

I had my radiator hanging off the back of my case and today I put it on top of my case and bleeding really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I put my pump on low and was careful when I filled the loop so I was ready to go in an hour or so.

When I filled this loop it was bled in about 5 or 6 hours, when the fluid lost its cloudy look and I didnt see any more bubbles in the lines.

Yeah, that's about right. I usually just put my pump on low and go to bed for the night and the next morning I'm good to go. But today it only took a couple of hours and it was good. I want a new case now, I'm sick of this one and I would rather put everything inside the case.

Thats why I bought the Armor, the only Problem I have with it, is how big it is for carrying it to LAN parties.
