Hello everyone, Happy Easter!
One question about the choice of the AIO. Is it really better to have the tubes going below the PSU?
I'm looking for an AIO with a single power/pump cable (rather than having a SATA cable alone to power the pump) and the finalists are the EK240 and the Fractal S24.
The S24 has the pump in the radiator, so with the radiator placed on top it would not be the optimal position for bubbles of air, however the tubes length allows to route them below the PSU.
On the other hand, the EK240 has shorter tubes but the pump on the CPU block which is not the highest point.
Other than having softer curves on the tubes (U shaped route for the Fractal rather than S shaped of the EK), would it be really better to have the tubes going below the PSU? Is the curve above the PSU too tight?
In my mind below the CPU you have to manage more (and thicker) cables, at last to mobo and GPU, while on top you have only the AC cable.
