here bye bye watermark and be sure to use our new offer code skgs for a sweet discount now one of the more obvious the issues i would say this build has is lack of good cable management i'm just going to be blunt um i mean come on i'm not sure if he wasn't able to like route these cables around the back side of the motherboard tray or what we've got one eight pin pci supplemental cable running through the cutout for a front radiator and then the other one is running through where it should be run that's the cutout here at the rubber grommet cutout for pcie power so um just kind of weird stuff we've got you know a bunch of cables that are pretty loose pretty slack here not routed uh in an ideal way so uh that will definitely be taken care of another glaring issue physically is the fact that he's got this aio zip tied yeah it's zip tied to the top of the case i'm not sure how well you're gonna be able to see this on camera but he actually has this radiator screwed in at two corners up top and then zip tied around the other two corners and this is actually a pretty clever solution because his ram clearance was preventing him from mounting the radiator where you would otherwise you know properly mount it in this corsair case so what i might end up doing is moving this red assembly to the front and rotating these fans to be set to intake so we'll have three intake fans and now i'll move these black fans to the top and rear those will be set to exhaust so three intake three exhaust it will still be balanced on that side of it uh the other two things i'm sure people are probably thinking about by this point uh you know having a front mounted radiator oh you're gonna totally compromise your graphics card temperatures that is totally not true i'm not sure why people think that you're going to get like a NUMBER_TOKEN or NUMBER_TOKEN degrees celsius bump in gpu temperatures all because you moved your radiator to the front as long as you're evacuating air effectively and in this case you can definitely do that temperatures will be fine the other concern people have when you are front-mounting your radiator is that oh you're gonna you're gonna kill your pump i don't know why all those people watch one or two videos and totally take things out of context they don't draw the same conclusions as even the video creator himself and they assume that because the barbs are up top and the block is situated fairly high that the block is just going to pull in tons of air bubbles and the acetate pump is going to die that is simply not true if the barbs are situated higher than the pump itself i mean this is a simple fluid dynamics here you're not going to be able to push with a weak pump air that is lighter than water downward into the pump over and over most of the air will settle at the top of the radiator and if the loop is filled properly that shouldn't be a problem shouldn't even cause any sound issues to be frank but anyway with those disclaimers out of the way because i feel like i have to address that every time i talk about radiator positioning nowadays uh and the uh mentioning of
