Does it matter which way I have the head installed onto the CPU? I have the pumps coming out of the bottom (instead of to the right)

Naw, it shouldnt matter at all =) .. just make sure nothing interferes w/ any mobo component and ur good to go =)

No, the mounting orientation shouldn't matter as long as you get a proper seat onto the chip. I have mine reoriented as well due to capacitor clearance issues and have no issues whatsoever.

It should not matter as long as you have a good contact with the CPU, and the hoses are not obstructed by bends. If your concerned contact support and explain the situation or provide pictures and ask for a recommendation.

It shouldn't matter as long as the hoses aren't kinked and the cooler seats correctly on the cpu.

Shauna, there are two pieces that make up your pump, the wet end(plastic)and the motor that connects to the pump. The question is about your motor looking different than you current motor? If so, as long as you get the same hp or bigger motor and it is the type of motor for your pump (key shaft, square flange, or threaded shaft) you will be fine, some motors have the capacitor mounted in the rear. If you tell me the brand of pump and model you have I can tell you which motor to get. Good luck

Pump runs the opposite direction than you want. You want something like a powerhead.

I agree it requires a little fiddling around to get the pump and ceramic top lined up properly. My best advice is to put the top on first and then reach under and move the pump around so that it's lined up with the spout.

i would check for a vacuum leak on the intake side before changing or adding a pump, if it works good some time, it sounds like a air leak .Lost of luck

I can't think of many CPUs that may not be changed from vertical to horizontal or vice versa. Same goes for hard drives. As for the optical drive, it may be a good idea to check its manual, or online, if it can be position vertically (if that's how it would wind up).

That may be where the capacitor is housed. One of the pumps I purchased earlier seemed not to fit because of this housing. I just removed the screws on the housing and moved it to the side when I used the locking collar to hold the pump in place. I then put it back in place and replaced the screws. This was inconvenient but not too bad and I only had to do it once. I know this does not answer your question exactly but it may help.

Not in its intended form or its installation mass air flow will not install correctly

None. Just make sure you have room under sink for specific model. Has nothing to do with hp

Yes you will need to remove you complete fan shroud. You may also need to swap your water pump pulley for additional clearance if necessary. Thanks Brian

My electrician installed mine in level with the top of the bottle. But being that it is a pump I m not too sure it really matters.

I have the same set up and the only difference was the hose connections were reversed. They were pointing to the rear of the machine instead of to the front. Otherwise a good fit and performance was not compromised. Recommend that you get the additive for storage of the unit and be very methodical about its use. Otherwise the pump will freeze up after long periods of non-use.

if your motherboard allows you to set, and has more than one PWM port, I'd set the pump to CPU fan pins (if pump fails, that'll likely cause motherboard to signal a "polite" shutdown; if the fan fails, it's less likely to cause temperature trip inside the CPU itself). I set the pump on max, and the fan on another fan header for a particular temp I am hoping for inside the case..... in mine an overclocked amd 8350 @4.8Ghz no worries at all. Hope that helps!

There are two connectors. The 4 pin is for the included PWM fan and can be connected anywhere, but using the CPU_Fan header makes sense. The pump is run by a 3pin fan connector and can be connected to any header or a 3pin to 4pin molex converter.

Remove the intake tube and insure the impeller is seated firmly. I had the same problem and that corrected it. Hope this helps.

The drain is mounted towards the rear and is built in. The problem is, the drain should be in the middle as it ponds and stays dirty in the center! What is wrong with this manufacturer? Don't they have a level? Maybe just an over intelligent engineer that does not know plumb and level? Water runs down hill?
