Why didn't I test this sooner?
Top vs. Front radiator placement with different GPUs tested!

best place to put radiator : outside of the case. outside the house if possible.

Your front-mounted AIO has the pump block at the highest point in your loop which will trap any air bubbles in your pump. Not a good way to mount it. Disappointed you didn't put any consideration into the long-term health of your AIO.

Oh the irony of KZfaq automatically playing this video after watching a GamersNexus video explaining why you should not mount radiators on the front with tubes up or mount the front radiator below the pump. There's always some air in an AIO, and it will make its way into the pump if mounted like this. Kyle did both of these things wrong.

The only problem with what I see is, with your build of putting the radiator on the front lower portion of your case, is that the CPU cooler (which in a lot of units house the pump), is that it is higher than the radiator and would allow that CPU cooler/pump to collect air, which, from what I am seeing in other videos, can shorten the life span of your pump and/or reduce the efficiency of your cooling unit.

I just have my radiator hanging out the case in a bucket of ice

I know this is an older video, but one point I would make, if you do put a rad at the front and not the top, make sure your pump is not the highest point in the loop otherwise air will settle in it.

Something really wrong in this video, radiator should always be in a higher place than the pump to avoid air bubble in it and getting water flow problems

Great experiment. Just the answers I was looking for at 2 am in the morning even though I have no intention of building a PC. LOL. Great video tho :D

Have you tried adding more RGB?

Except if you have an AMD rig, in which case the thermonuclear radiator is located in the CPU socket.

Thanks so much for putting this video out! I’m in the middle of building my first gaming pc and with my cpu cooler I bought I can only fit it to the front of my case which looks to be the better placement so that has calmed my nerves down! Thanks again!

OMG THANK YOU. I've been searching all over the web for an answer and it's 50/50 everywhere. This test is just what I needed and I can finally move on to the next steps. Keep up the good work :D
