after a few years the fluid evapourates out of loop and no cooling  working

cut the inlet tube to pump and add a rez to loop and place rez at top of loop to burp loop  with that set up of self burping

 if not want to cut tube have rad higher than cpu and rad with hose closest to CPU (bottom so air will be at top of rad away from tubes)

this way no bubbles circulate and not starve pump but over time when fluid level drops in rad  will loose cooling power

when fluid is low  need to top up again or buy another unit  if handy remove tube and fill with distilled water

The picture there of the radiator, that is what Gamers Nexus was showing an at least 6 mouths ago. With those AIO's, a lot lot have these problems or people finding out so much later, the placement is wrong. The manuals are for sure not mentioning anything. 

Some years ago, I spoke with Corsair about a model that even cools the VRMs and the Mosfets, to have a fan on top and blowing around the housing of those pumps. Here we go, some brands are waking up and lots more testing are done and designs.

I love people like Steve from Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed, foolish Jay2cents, we need them. I wish I could, but yeah.
It is plain stupid, that "you" or I, have to dig into video's what is right and wrong to do. Or if something breaks, that can be solved by just a few cents. I am so happy with the Right to Repair going, even catching up in the EU. Lesser waste and the limit should be, dead=dead.

X-ray  where you think they get thier idea's from ?

I've been the pioneer of water cooling PC's.

be it air (heat pipes)

and  BillyA so called guru of water coolong was  plagiarizing me and the major water cooling companys taking my idea to market for not water mark my work 

credits: heat pipes, AIO, the wave fins, peltier, fin & plate, phase change  magnetic pump, fittings,  

so when i caught on what they were doing i fixed  them with false info on a pump rez set-up . note stay away  acrylic material for when heat cycles it will crack

rads i gave the underdog info to build a rad that will   outperforming leading crown same with CPU water, block kicking  swiss cheeze to the curb

Yo, why don't you just email me. I know the DM's are there, but that way, way quicker. Or just wait ;)
I was just tweeting to Hardware Unboxed and he replied, that was cool.

That video of Linus, is so funny. Also that I remember that one.
