Building a sffpc with Dan A4 with Asetek Aio. Just recently watched this video about aio orientation.



In short it is saying that if the pump is placed higher than the radiator, eventually some of it'll be partially filled with air due to permeation and this will cause air in the pump as it's higher in the loop causing it to work harder with higher noise ending with eventual death.


With the A4 and Asetek aio, pump is definitely higher in the loop. How much do I need to worry about this. Would it be of benefit if I flipped the case during use.


Bonus question from total aio noob.
During transport, say carrying it in my backpack, should I be taking additional care about the orientation of the system, or not much to worry there?
