snotplugy Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 saw a youtube video and some other people mounting it to the front of a corsair carbide c400 and not get their tubes crossed but when i tried it http://postimg.org/image/axm03w5oh/ MINE : http://postimg.org/image/51a0cc08x/ http://postimg.org/image/hty4c9bup/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-ray Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I suspect your need to rotate the pump block though 360° clockwise starting from http://postimg.org/image/51a0cc08x/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-attack Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 In your original glamour picture, the tubes do in fact cross over. It's about half way down and at the bend. It's subtle and like any good promotional shot, you don't even notice. I don't know how easy or hard that is to replicate. However, from a performance perspective, it does not matter if the tubes cross and from that same point of view I would put the tubes on the bottom to avoid blocking air exchange between the front and top fans. To cross or not to cross, is purely aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see why you have an issue. When I did as I specified my H80iGT did not "get twisted even more" and looked much the same as in http://postimg.org/image/axm03w5oh/ You need to post another picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But either way, your issue is in trying to shape the hoses to your liking, not a manufacturing defect. The "lower tube" goes into the left, top radiator in all pictures. The upper tube, the right. Since you were unable to resolve it as Ray suggested, perhaps you should try working the problem from the other end. Remount the block the way you want it, then orientate the radiator. However, I expect you can still solve it by folding the pump through the middle of the two hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red-ray Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 To me it looks correct at 1:26 and I expect that is as good as it can be. It's tricky to tell as it's too zoomed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tricky to tell as it's too zoomed in. @1:26 the tubes are tangled top tube of the block goes right side of the rad... bottom tube goes left side... forming an X near the block 1:36 the tubes. are tangled. no matter how i turn it as shown in the video... and as of ur picture it is not tangled when mounted to CPU ... thats what i need to know... i know it works even if its tangled but it doesnt look nice to me if its tangled.

pyrojoe34 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 How you have it at 1:26 is identical to how it is in the picture you posted (http://postimg.org/image/axm03w5oh/). You're overthinking it, when you had it at 1:26 all you have to do is take the lower tube and align it below the top tube until they split to get to the rad (just pull that lower tube down a half inch from where it was). I promise you that the orientation at 1:26 is exactly the same as the one is the photo you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kippsy Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 As others have already said - 1.26 is exactly like the orginal picture you posted - All you need to do is manipulate the tubes slightly to gain the apperance you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 ^ this is not crossed and he can align them. They are ALL crossed. Every single one, unless you mount the block upside down. Perhaps you prefer the phrasing "one tube passes under the other", but it is still the same thing. The trick is manipulating the tension in the hoses to create the "curl" where you want it. I suppose there is no college class for that. Nevertheless, you only have two ends to work with, so the options are not endless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrojoe34 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I don't know what else to say, how red-ray has it, how the photo has it, and how you have it @ 1:26 are all exactly the same. The bottom (block) tube goes to the back of the case (rad) and the top (block) tube goes to the front (rad), and there are no twists in any of the cases. Yours only looks different because you have the bottom tube going behind the top tube rather than staying under the top tube. If you just kept the bottom tube under the top tube (using a zip tie or something) until they have to split up near the radiator yours would also look the same. All three ways are exactly the same, whether you believe me or not.We can't really help you with spacial awareness and visualization. Maybe just try to visualize it outside the case where you can play with the slack until you see it for yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snotplugy Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 lol i will unmount and do the exact same picture if its needed to believe me http://postimg.org/image/3swa1s8b5/ u guys are definitely not looking at it carefully. tell me how do u align a x to become | | [ame] [/ame] lemme know if u need me to unmount everything and take the same picture as red-ray did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-ray Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 All I can think is you are not spatially aware. Starting from http://postimg.org/image/3swa1s8b5/ move the cooler from the bottom of the case to where the CPU will be and post a picture of that. Both have the Bottom of Radiator to Bottom of Cooler and Top of Radiator to Top of Cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
