What does everyone think?
My old 120mm Seidon V2 has died - the pump went from buzzing to rattling instead - the ceramic shaft has cracked loose - I bonded it back together but in doing so lost the room to sit the magnetic float bearings in - it works without them temporarily* but it's pretty noisy, anyway, I fixed the issue with some lateral thinking - I bought a 280mm AIO instead
The old Seidon only had long enough pipes to go on the rear of the case, the new one can fit top or bottom easily. I was thinking putting it on the bottom as an inlet where it'll get cooler air, compared to the top as an outlet where it's getting warm air from the case......however, doing that means any air might end up in the pump, whereas with it on the top, any air would end up in the rad where it's not hurting much.
Anyone tried both with an AIO?
*On a side note, HOW FRIGGIN HARD ARE AIO'S TO FILL AND BLEED THE AIR OUT OF!
Took me ages. What's wrong with a simple bleed nipple on the radiator?
