how to mount AIO

[SDK05]

can we decide the position of AIO radiator ? 120 only mount at back, 240 mount at front, can we choose ourselves?or i missed the setting somewhere

It depends a lot on the size of the EM case "mm."

i agree, please let us decide the mounting position, some of the default mounting positions are wrong (harmful to the AIO) and we shouldn't be doing that

In my experience, the AIO radiator location depends on the chassis configuration and component position. I've been able to mount in any location of the case depending on the configuration of the case. Some of the chassis had a drive bay in the way so it was removed to make space for the rad. Others have RAM blocking the hoses so I was forced to install the rad at the top or the back. Have you tried other chassis or repositioned the chassis drive bays? Some rad can not be installed at the top or the front because the RAM blocks the hoses.

you can place the AIO radiator as you want (moving mouse at desired position), if the case got enought space (AIO rad dimensions...)
Just empty the case, remove filters and front panel etc. do not mount RAM or graphic card etc. before

I think they are refering to placing them in ways that is harmful and/or not optimal. For example the pump above the radiator (might cause air in the pump, reducing its lifespan if done IRL). Or having the tubes on top.

I'm all for being able to rotate the radiators so I can get the tubes where I want them, I wish there was a way to move the fans too, so you can have them infront, behind or even push-pull config.

as joe_mazuka already wrote - while installing a AIO cooling then aim for the desired radiator position - not at the CPU.
If you aim tghe CPU then the game will choose the closest free position.
