Radbox Users - A quick question

[ayabe]

Hey Guys,


I am looking at getting one of the Swiftech H20-APEX "Extreme Duty" Series Liquid Cooling Kits with a dual 120mm radiator and included Radbox. Most of the installs I have seen have the Radbox have the box attached to the 'top' portion of the radiator where the inlet/outlets are.

I have a Silverstone TJ-06 case and it has the 120mm hole at the very bottom of the case so I was thinking of trying to mount the radbox to the bottom portion of the radiator, is this possible? Has anyone had to do something similar?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure about the specifics of your case, but it seems like you can mount a rad box anywhere you want as long as you mod your case to support it.

I was hoping to mount it externally like they did in that install, I'm just not sure if the bottom portion of the radiator accepts the radbox holes. I suppose I could invert the radiator but I've heard that have the inlet/outlets inverted causes air bubbles in the system.

As long as you have a rated pump, bubbles WILL work themselves out eventually.

😕 how does that happen. Only way for air bubbles to form like that is if you have a leak in the inlet.


The bubbles will eventually bleed out if you run it for some time. Its much easier to fill and bleed a system with a reservoir than a closed or t-line system.
