I'm currently building a setup to water-cool my Gigabyte RTX 2080 TI Turbo - and I'm completely new to water cooling.
As there was no AIO solution for my specific graphics card (rev 2.0), I went with the combination of an Eisbaer Extreme 280 Solo and an Eisblock ES Acetal with Eisbaer TPV tubes.
Now I'm running into two noob issues, maybe this friendly forum can help me
1. The Eisbaer can be front mounted. That is the only place it will fit my case (with some tricks). But I wonder if the fans are not configured wrongly - they will blow out of the front! Installing it the other way around will not work as the tubing comes out of the back of the system.
The tutorial videos by Alphacool just go over this with a "it can also fit vertically", but they never explain how...
2. I'm actually ignorant on how to properly fill the system. I cannot find any tutorials for the Eisbaer Extreme 280. Do I have to fill it with the pump running and power connected? Or first fill the reservoir and tubes and then start the system? Can someone recommend a tutorial video or article?
Thanks in advance for any help!
