This has been valuable advice . Mine didnt have wiring instructions , and now I dont have to trial and error the install . Thanks mate , all the best .
The dumbass has mounted the fans backwards, so he'll be pulling all of the hot air back into his system and increasing his temps instead of expelling it out of the rear of the case as it's designed to so. I think bubbles in his pump are the last of this kid's worries! 🤣
Did you exhaust your fans when you installed it on your radiator just so I understood you correctly, because I’m looking to exhaust mine and I’m new to PC building.
Hi, thanks for this video. Do you have pump noise at 60% RPM, 80% and 100%? I have some suspicions that my AIO is not working correctly, because I have a high-frequency sound at 60% RPM (1900 RPM), which is amplified at 2300 RPM, and after reaching 2600 RPM it is eclipsed by the pump fan, which is also quite loud. These two noises are maddening over time. Should a pump sound like that? Thank you.
Just wondering why you didn’t mount the fans directly to the radiator, and then mount the radiator onto the bracket? Is there an advantage doing it this way?
The further your radiator is from the air inside the case the better. Slightly better cooling. Not as much of an issue if you have a liquid-cooled GPU also, but open-air cases are much hotter than ambient temps. The side compartment in a full tower will be much cooler.
So one more question. Sorry you can tell I’m putting this together lol I put it together but my pump is still reading 0 and keeps over heating any ideas ?
This is not a optimal way to install an AIO, the radiator pipes should always be higher than pump, due to the risk of air locking the pump with the small amount of air that is in the system.
That is incorrect, the only important thing is for the highest part of the radiator to be higher than the pump. In my case, the top of the rad goes higher than the pump. Any air in the system gets trapped inside the rad and since running all my aios exactly like this, haven’t even heard a bubble noise pass through the pump. When I had it the other way, I’d always hear bubbles.
It’s the lian li 011D Evo that I modified in previous videos. I also did the custom glass as well. I personally think lian li should make it like this and call it the “EVO View” 😅
MSI center is not pick up this cooler and when I called MSI they said it only works with a MSI board and that’s crap because I would of loved to know this before I paid a hefty price for the screen and that’s the thing that doesn’t work and none of the video reviews that I watched or anywhere on the website or on the box did it say that I need a MSI MB for this to work.
Yeah it doesn’t need a msi MB to work. My mother is gigabyte. Msi center is tricky and sometimes it doesn’t work properly. I’d recommend just checking all connections, try a different usb port on your motherboard if available. Try reinstalling software etc. I’m sure you can get it working unless the aio is faulty
@@BuildsWithV so either the three reps that I talked are lying to me or it’s the new version of MSI center. They send me a uninstall program and did the reinstall 3 or 4 times. I know the usb ports are working because I have the Lian Li fans that also use the usb ports to control the fans thru their L connect 3. So looks like I’ll be getting on the phone again but all three reps that I talked to on different days and times told me the same thing.
@@BuildsWithV I did, that’s why I called MSI support and that’s what the first guy told me so I was like he got to be lying and doesn’t want to help. So couple of day later I called back again and they gave me the same answer
You make a big mistake mounted that way, bcas the water pump its higher mounted then radiator, wich means all the air bublles inside your aio will claugh in the aio pump. In 1 year max the pump will fail, so GG.
To back the owner of the video, the flow of water is simply not enough to bring down the bubbles into the AIO pump itself. This is actually the best way to mount the radiator with the tubes down, the AIO will be completely fine because the top of the radiator is further up than the pump itself. If you were thinking that the radiator was on the bottom, then yes that would be an issue; but for this instance, the AIO is completely safe and won't have any air come into the pump
@@BuildsWithV pwm? I thought the software overrides the Bios? On my bios my cpu pump is maxx out. But if you check the software it's not maxx out. But one thing I noticed the aio pump can go up to 2700 rpm I think. Which is more than the Bios rpm.
@@wankerka yeah the pwm through the software. I just choose one of the presets and it’s set to pwm which just means the pump speed changes as needed for cooling
Ur build doednf mske sense..to put those as intske your blowing the hot air from the cpu in the build..u already have the front fans and bottom as blower and the top and back.as exhaust..ur not cooling anyrjing non of thay air is going anywhere in my opinion..i gairentee ud have lowwr tempe if it was a push instead of pl for.aio
The radiator doesn’t get warm so the air going is is fine. It’s the best way to cool your cpu, with fresh cool air. If your fans are exhausting through the radiator then your radiator will absorb all the heat from the gpu. I also have 3 other intake fans at the bottom of the case so even if the radiator gets warm and blows warm air into the case, my other 3 fans will still blow cool air. All those reasons are why I mounted my fans this way.
@@BuildsWithV I think you're right. you have a good case where the cold air intake comes from the bottom, and the vertical position of the video card does not block the air flow. and if the speed of the blowing fans is increased to avoid increased pressure in the case, then the cooling will be generally not bad. How are you with the temperature vrm or ssd? And what is the case model? I don't have much faith in the efficiency of cooling the VRM with a small pump fan.
so basically the same for the 280 version which i just purchased.. do you by chance know where i can get more of the long radiator screws?? trying to do a push pull config
So the radiator gets slightly warm but compared to the gpu it’s hardly anything. When I had the fans as exhaust the gpu heat would cause the radiator to get super hot causing my cpu temps to also get hotter. Once I switched to this orientation the cpu temps went down and the gpu temps stayed the same.
@@Xetsubou yeah give it a shot and let me know how it works for you. For my application it worked great but really depends on your work loads I’d assume. Almost everything I do is GPU heavy which puts tons of heat.
Should be fine overall, if you have issues you can plug in the lian li fans into the connector from the cooler. That’s actually what I did for mine to take advantage of the zero rpm mode
If I want to replace the fans on it, will I plug in the CPU_FAN and just not use the three splitters where all 3 fans plug into? (I’m using a commander core)
Yeah it’s not required to use the splitter if you don’t want to. I personally used it even with my lian li fans just because I liked controlling the radiator fans with msi software but you can do it anyways you’d like.
@@BuildsWithV If I want to do that, I can still plug in the RGB cable into the commander core and still get the RGB sync in theory right? I’m not sure if with the commander core you need to match up fans to RGB slot or if you can plug them in anywhere. Because I’d like to continue to use the MSI software as well now that I think about it
@@rrxlb yeah you can still plug the rgb cable into the commander and control the lighting with icue. The rgb cable can be plugged anywhere in the commander
I Havnt had this issue in mine. I’d say just double check all your connections and settings in software first but to me it sounds like it could be defective. Might need to exchange it if everything looks good and it’s still happening.
@@BuildsWithV did you ever have to go into your bios and adjust your fan curve? I read that could be the issue. I was using my pc and everything was fine, walked away for a little bit, pc went to sleep, woke it up and pump immediately turned off and temps went up. Makes me think it’s a power management issue.
@@EKclick that’s interesting for sure. Honestly I had an issue like this on a different pump and turned out the pump got gunked up with something and it would cause it to not spin after it was off for a while. The pump I’m talking about was a custom loop pump tho, never seen this on a AIO.
@@BuildsWithV ic. I had my 2nd unit now. The first one makes my PC reboot. Apparently there was a problem with the usb. Msi had them replace . It's working OK so far. But the heatwave here in the UK it's kinda struggling to lower temps. 😕
Super detailed step by step video. Thank you.
This has been valuable advice . Mine didnt have wiring instructions , and now I dont have to trial and error the install . Thanks mate , all the best .
thank you for taking the time to make such a thorough video. I know it was posted a while back, however just acquire a msi s360 for my new gaming rig.
You’re very welcome. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching 🙏
Thanks for that tip on the backplate. I totally would have dropped the backplate if I didn't watch this first.
Getting the 280 version looks sick!
Nice video my friend but quick question there isn’t a wire for the pump?
Didn’t Jay say in the video that you don’t want your Radiator hoses lower than the CPU
You can turn it as long as the pump is not the highest point in the system! Jay was showing with the 240 radiator 😉
The dumbass has mounted the fans backwards, so he'll be pulling all of the hot air back into his system and increasing his temps instead of expelling it out of the rear of the case as it's designed to so.
I think bubbles in his pump are the last of this kid's worries! 🤣
Nice straight forward install. NIcely done...
Thank you Ivan 🙏
Did you exhaust your fans when you installed it on your radiator just so I understood you correctly, because I’m looking to exhaust mine and I’m new to PC building.
I want to get that cooler and install it o. The Meg z790 godlike max. Can you put a video up for that. Thnx
I think the fan should blow the radiator to make the radiator cool..should reverse the fan for cooling effecient
That will make it hotter since the air inside the case is hot. This way it’s sucking air from outside the case

Do you need to add the liquid ?? Or does it come with it already inside ?
It’s already inside. Never has to be replaced either. Good to go

Is it compatible with amd ryzen 9 5950x?
yes
Can I use the SL infinity 120 fans with this radiator? And do I have to plug the fan cable into one of the three connections coming out from the pump?
Did you get an answer to this?
Hi, may I ask what is the case in the video? Doesn't look like a Lian Li, since Lian Li O11 cases don't have the seamless front glass panel like that
It’s the lian li 011D Evo that I modified in previous videos. I also did the custom glass as well. I personally think lian li should make it like this and call it the “EVO View” 😅
@@BuildsWithV Thanks! Yours looks like the Aigo Z300. Yes, I agree, the seamless glass panels make it even sexier.
What header did you plug the radiator fans into?
They were actually all plugged into the splitter that comes off of the water block. It has 3 daisy chained together on a long wire. Checkout 09:40
@@BuildsWithV ahh I see thank you!

fan direction is wrong,fans must blow through the radiator,,

High there I have this aio and also have the same case. Can I ask on your fan settings, the aio pump did you set it to 100% or maxx? out
I have it set to pwm, so it goes up or down based on the cpu temp. But if I did set it I’d leave it at 60%. Stays quieter that way.
@@BuildsWithV pwm? I thought the software overrides the Bios? On my bios my cpu pump is maxx out. But if you check the software it's not maxx out. But one thing I noticed the aio pump can go up to 2700 rpm I think. Which is more than the Bios rpm.
