H100i Hose Problem, just a question really.

Recommended Posts

Well, I just remembered something for when I get my new RMA H100i. The way that is was hooked together in my PC made is so the Bottom Rad Hose went to the Top Pump Barb, and the Top Rad Hose went to the Bottom Pump Bard, so they were crisscrossed. I'm thinking of just swapping them so they aren't any more. But the issue is, what do I do about the Air after I unhook it for the first time? It's not like I have a Reservoir. Is it okay to just leave it? Maybe the H100i Stock came the same way? Heck if I know, I just want a way to do it by keeping it at the same performance level. So Air, or not, as long as it does the same job.

 

Thanks, DWreck

leave as is,its ok and modifying the cooler in any way voids the warranty

Thank you for the reply and I understand your point, but its more then just looks. That's fine voiding the warranty. I only paid $80 (It wasn't used just a deal) for mine and as long as I don't get a bad one by the time I would need an RMA I wouldn't be getting the same model, most likely the newer version. Yea it work's but the main problem is one of the Hoses is crimped because its more like a 90 Degree Right Angle, swapping the direction will fix this and allow me to put the top of the case on (I have a Cooler Master XB which is more is a Landscape PC case instead of a Portrait or Tower PC case.) since it is sticking out if I force it down it Crimps. So really all I need to worry about is if Air is okay? Which is the Stock One does then it is obviously, but if not then I need to figure out a new way?

air is ok,in fact it allows for expansion.

dont be inclined to want to overfill it.,

Okay, the reason I asked is because I read some things about the air pockets getting really hot and heating up the water faster and when they pass the CPU they make it hotter instead of cooler. But I don't know of these things to be true or not, just that it sounded like it make sense so I asked. The good thing about this is not only do I fix my crimping and it looks nicer untangled but maybe I can add some better coolant and change the hoses to a color to match my case. Which speaking of the hoses, is there a way for me to get them off without ruining them, just in case I don't change the color?
