@@TimsComputerRepair It does not take much to airlock an AIO. Without any fluid around the blades it can not move anything and enters a stall condition. I see this a lot in my shop and normally move the Radiator to the top or higher then the pump when front mounted. From the video the hoses looked pretty short and the pump should of been turned 90 degrees towards the radiator. I addressed this problem with Artic long time ago and they made there's longer so you could at least flip the radiator to be hoses down which I think is the best possible method. Most AIO's are refillable with a plug now a days. You do want at least a two percent of volume on air in the AIO due to heat expansion of the liquid also. So when filling you would would want to dump a 1/3 of an ounce when fully topped off. Least that's what I do in my shop. All AIO's will lose fluid over time due to evaporation through the hose medium but takes a fair bit of time. Now fans pushing or pulling, well in my opinion really does not matter that much if the case has good airflow to pull in air from other sources and with push it's forcing heat out of the case and not into graphics card.
Was it me or was the AIO and fans set to exhaust on the front? That wouldn't have helped. And I agree the AIO was most likely Air Locked (water inside unable to move around due to the radiator being below the pump) But I much prefer Air Coolers, I personally never had much luck using them.

Ok Tim you said your website says his processor required an F1 bios an when you went in the bios the version was F3
I bought the Dark Rock Pro 5 a few days ago. Can't wait to install it
It's a good cooler.
Great Video Tim the failing water cooler strikes again. Keep up the good work my friend
Thanks 👍
Good video
Thanks
That AIO was probably air locked, always have the radiator ports higher than the pump.
Don't think they were blocked enough to cause that much of a difference

@@kevinsteinman8967 Yeah, that AIO is STARVED and locked and/or full of deposits.
Nice cooler! Never cared for water cooled.
Same here!

Good point Tony. Thanks for commenting.
Having the rad barbs THAT far below the pump is terrible always.
That aoi was very wrongly mounted. pump was full of air.
Aren't they completely full from the factory? It should not matter what way you attach the radiator.
@@JamesSmith-ix5jd no, 3-8% air when you get it
Tim, you said he needs F1 He has F3 right now
Fans were pushing
Yep
Water cooling is a big no no for me.
I bet he got a million applications that start with Windows. I can't stand a disorganized PC.
