I feel like this needs another refresh based on recent posts/comments.

    isnt bottom left bad? like all the air will go into the pump and that is smth you dont want, so its the same as in the “bad” pic

  2. Every other day is “OK” display day, and today I saw one “BAD.” So yes it does need to be posted over and over.

  3. I do it like bottom right, but the other way around, the pipes go from right

    I had to stop for a moment “Is this loss?”

    Bro the top right one is literally the optimal way according to corsair iirc.

    The entire video is about the nuances of this and why you can’t generalize it like this and then people turned it into a template to generalize with

    Just follow the guidelines of the manufacturer.

    Usually the best, is whatever will fit in the case.

    I don’t understand why OK and BETTER aren’t reversed. Seems air could become trapped in the local high point of the pump block in the current BETTER option. Where the OK option has no local high point near the pump block.

    Top left is only bad if your pump is in your CPU block like the vast majority of AIO brands but for some brands like Be Quiet! (pump inline with tubes) or those that have the pump in the radiator itself (IIRC NZXT and MSI AIOs have them), it doesn’t really matter what the orientation of the AIO is.

    TL;DR? Just make sure your pump *isn’t* the highest point in the loop and you’re golden.
