Because that's my old system. The pic a few posts back was with the temp sensor on the res outlet instead of the inlet and with the top rad-front rad hose being far too long. And if you want a pic of the mess that's my main system, I'll make one later as the 6900XT's pump seems to be cavitating again. DAMNITI looked at your previous system pic and the latest looks the same. You want any air bubbles entrained in the loop to go the highest point in the system, preferably the radiator end bells where they do no harm. The noise from the pump was likely the continuing movement of entrained air moving past the impeller.
[Edit] I just realized you have not shown any picture of a Hybrid AIO gpu yet.
The pump in the gpu is in a no-no position where it is higher than the radiator. Since air rises to the highest point in the loop, that puts the air bubble in the impeller cavity. You would be advised to simply change the radiator position to the middle fan or top fan position and rotate the radiator 90° to clear the hoses on the radiator end bell. That would move the air bubble about even or above the pump.I decided to screw around with placing rads, long story short: the loop idea I had isn't going to work. AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Anyway @Keith Myers
And I got most of the air out of the old system. Back to the drawing board for the new system though.
Fun fact: the 6900XT Toxic EE has a RGB header on the front. And I screwed around a bit with WattMan, got it stable at 2.8 GHz/1.2V, now that's what I call EXTREME EDITION
Next step: waterblock and 2.9 GHz!
I don't have any experience with the AC Next series but I have read plenty of posts on the forums from users. I think that it is best to connect it to the D5 Next pump as long as you are using the AquaSuite software. The hardware also has direct support in HWinFo so the motherboard headers are an option also.A question regarding the AC High Flow Next: where do I connect it? To the D5 Next pump, or to my mobo?
So the rad needs to be hoses up after all then?The pump in the gpu is in a no-no position where it is higher than the radiator.

I don't want to use Aquasuite as I already have HWiNFO.I don't have any experience with the AC Next series but I have read plenty of posts on the forums from users.

Many tech YT videos explain the issue of having the pump higher than the rad. The AIO mfr's all recommend the rad hoses to be at the bottom when mounting the radiator in the case. You run the possibility of early pump failure from burning up the pump from cavitation of air in the impeller cavity. Also dramatically reduces your cooling capability as the flow rate plummets.So the rad needs to be hoses up after all then?
