Can the AIO graphics card radiator be installed at the bottom of the case?

Hi. I want to configure the system with 5950X+3090 kingpin, but I want to use the Kraken z73 for the 5950x, so I want to use both 360 integrated water cooling. I saw a YouTuber saying that the 3090 Kingpin's tube length was 400mm. However, my case is caselab (a company that has gone bankrupt now) STH10. When I measured the length, the tube length of 400mm is too tight from the graphic card mounting position to the front radiator mounting position, so I have to try it, but it may not work.
 
First, in the picture, the power is mounted in the top chamber and nothing in the bottom chamber.
 
In this state, can I put a Kraken z73 radiator on the blue circle and a 3090 kingpin radiator on the sky blue circle so that the sky blue is the intake air and blue is the exhaust (Is there any problem that the pump life is adversely affected by the air in the AIO even if the radiator is attached at the bottom?)
 
I heard the Gamers Nexus said that the AIO cooler has air, so the pump should be below the radiator, but I don't understand exactly what it mean. I know that the pump position should be facing down when doing vertical radiators, but I don't understand how air becomes a problem when placing radiators horizontally like the sky blue circle or blue circle in the picture.
 
And when I use cpu all-in-one 360 ​​+ GPU all-in-one 360, can you recommend a good case for installing the radiator in a good position and for custom water cooling later? It doesn't matter the price.

    Can the AIO graphics card radiator be installed at the bottom of the case?

    Yes.  You will probably hear a lot of annoying pump cavitation noises, and the pump may fail at a young age, but if that doesn't bother you, go for it.

    I don't know how you are confused.  If the radiator is at the bottom of the case, that means the pump is above the radiator, right?  You want the radiator to be above the pump.  If the radiator isn't above the pump, then the radiator is below the pump.  If the radiator is below the pump, that is not good.

    You should never install an AIO radiator below the pump. As ty_ger07 says, this will cause noise, loss of performance, and a premature death of the pump. Air will always get stuck n the highest point of a loop, and doing so in this case means your pump will end up trying to pump air before too long.


    Have water, will cool.

    I misunderstood pump's location. Now i know exactly.

    I got it. If i can't install 3090 kingpin's radiator at front of case because of tube length i will buy the case that can mount two 360 radiator appropriately.

    Thanks kougar
