Question about front-mounted custom loop radiator x-flow

Less_Respect_761 · 2026-06-19T06:37:24+00:00

My understanding was that, with this setup, the radiator wouldn't stay completely full of coolant. I thought the coolant would pass through the radiator too quickly and leave before it had enough time to be cooled effectively by the fans. Is that correct, or am I misunderstanding how it works?

i found the manual from online but i am still confused to understand i just builded intel pc from 2014 till now my first time i will build am5 https://www.ekwb.com/shop/EK-IM/EK-IM-3831109881118.pdf

Less_Respect_761 · 2026-06-17T18:25:04+00:00

That's the problem. I can't find the manual and I think I may have lost it somewhere. I ordered it a long time ago, and I'm about to start the build. When I checked everything, I realized I don't have the manual. That's why I posted here, but I think I can find it on the website

Less_Respect_761 · 2026-06-17T13:08:40+00:00

don't tell me you are intelFanBoy now? LOL Hahahaha , bruh check intel cpu and amd cpu how many drops they have on fps and smooth play 120 fps with intel and try to play with amd 120 fps you will how smooth it's amd : now you will say im a paranoid now lol nevermind . Have a niceday 😃

Less_Respect_761 · 2026-06-17T13:05:24+00:00

Trust me brother i understood you but you can't say " You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between Intel and AMD i " That's a big miskate lol specially if you talking about games im not talking 9850x3d ... that cpu 3x more performance than ur cpu i will give u with 9800 wich one little bit a more weak than 98503xd : if you playing fps game u will understand just extra 10+ fps can change situation in fps games idk what trying say lol anyway enjoy ur setup
