nirvana_1911 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I just bought a Corsair Hydro H80 CPU cooler. I notice that when I plug it into the power; if I hold the radiator above the pump, the pump sounds fine if I hold the pump above the radiator, the pump sounds like it's pumping a little bit of air Also, I can hear liquid sloshing about in the radiator if I shake it next to my ear. I wanted to ask: is this normal? how much water to air ratio is in the system? is their a standard when it's manufactured? would the mounting of the radiator vertically (back of case) or horizontally (top of case) be any different from each other?

beekermartin Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 From what I've read there is some air left in to allow for expansion. Since it is a closed loop system it has to be that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
