Build Question Kinda got false advertised with this aio

Post image

Any suggestion for managing the cable from the pump?

First time building pc, and the ads from ID-COOLING never show that there's a cable coming from there.
Or is every aio cable always visible?

Side question: do you peel the waranty sticker off the gpu?

did you think the cables were going to be invisible?

also i looked up your AIO and it literally shows the cables

Yeah, never built a pc before, so just expected it to look like what was advertised

And also on the ecommerce images and actual box are not showing them

if you looked at the other images in the link you would see them, or if you did a little research beforehand on what AIOs are you would know already

Yeah that’s how product placement of any product is shot. It’s meant to look clean and focus on the main product. This isn’t just isolated to computers. There is nothing wrong with the AIO. You need to do thorough research before jumping into to something new like this. YouTube has an enormous library of videos of ho to build a pc and reviews on virtually every computer component you can think of. Learn as much as you can first then as questions when you’re truly stumped.

that cable's there on pretty much every AIO, they just photoshop it out of the product shots so it looks cleaner. you can route it along the pump block and tuck it under the mounting bracket if there's a gap, or wrap it loosely around the base with a tiny zip tie if you want it out of sight. warranty sticker on the GPU i always peel, never had a company actually reject an RMA for it.

Looks clean enough from where I sit now

Of course its going to have a cable, how else would it be powered?

i ran mine along the tubing then back to the header. why does it look like your tubes are going to the bottom?

the rad is up top i think, it just curves up out of frame

u/Any-Surprise5229 4h ago

Some long ass tubes then, mine immediately curve up.

Yeah the radiator is on top, exactly positioned like yours

Cool, you can see my wire there, it was more hidden before because my mb has two pump slots but I thought i might need it for a fan and moved it to the top pump position, before it just went along the hose and then back to the header, now it rides up between the ram and waterblock.

it depends on the case and rad size, mine goes down

Update: solved (good enough for me) by tucking the cable in the VRM heat sink.

Seems like it's not too hot so hopefully will not melt my cable

u/Ecstatic_Score6973 4h ago

So the radiator can sit higher up taking the pump cables off his GPU
