You can mount the cooler however you want. This neither affects the cooling performance nor makes installation more difficult. The only point is that the NZXT logo is no longer legible. I also turned the cooler 90 degrees. Because the connections to the hose can be rotated, this works without any problems.

Do you have anything from Asus, e.g. a mainboard or something else? It is possible that Asus Aura is interfering. I have the same problem and have tried everything, nothing works. Sometimes it doesn't light up for weeks and then suddenly it works again for 3 hours and then nothing for a long time. If you google it, you will see that the problem is common but very few can really fix it. The only options are to live with it or RMA.

According to the description of the case, 280 and 240 radiators fit in the front. X52 is operated with two 120 fans, x62/63 with 140, whereby the x63 is advertised with an additional HUE 2 connection for more RGB possibilities. In terms of performance, however, there will hardly be any difference between the two. On the other hand, a visit to YouTube can't hurt.

for the AM4 socket is all there. You need an opening for the cooler that allows two 140 mm coolers. Unfortunately, this is not so clear in the description or in the pictures. I would recommend the NZXT Kraken M22 as an alternative. This should give you enough cooling power without overclocking. You can then replace the rear fan of the case and mount it.

The air should flow from the outside to the inside in any case, as the cooler air is in the surroundings than in the enclosure. For example, the air inside the enclosure is 55°C and is forced through the radiator... In the working environment there is approx. 23°C Where is the higher cooling capacity achieved? Definitely in the ambient air that is drawn in. One or two additional fans that push air outwards help with the temperatures in the case... but it does not go through a radiator

The numbers are pretty much bullshit, on (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/nzxt-aer-p-140mm-static-pressure-pwm-fan-fg-02k-nx.html) the fan is listed with 0.21-2.71 mm-H20. Thermaltake states 1.59 mm-H2O as the maximum pressure for this model (https://www.thermaltake.com/water-3-0-360-argb-sync.html#additional). If you convert the values with https://www.convertunits.com/from/Pa/to/mmH2O, almost nothing matches.

Hello I installed it as described for the Kraken. This way you can control them with the (sometimes quite buggy) software from NZXT. If you connect them as described for the mainboard, they are controlled by the mainboard, which only knows how warm the CPU is, but not how warm the liquid is. LG from Lucerne

I also ask myself whether I will use thermal paste on the new computer or not. In principle, the paste is there to smooth out the smallest cracks. The quality of the paste should therefore be high, not that it still insulates! The cooler you have has a copper surface! Copper has the highest thermal conductivity. 394 W/m*K If you look at the pastes, there are those with 5.60W/m K and the Leader around 73W/m K. The copper on the fan will probably be absolutely flat. I wouldn't put it on directly, and if I did, I would use this Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut liquid metal (1g, 73W/m K), which is liquid metal, not a paste! If the cooling capacity is ok, everything is fine! If you put it on and it sucks, you have a mess! As I remember from the old days, use your thermal paste directly on the CORE! Smearing it on the lid like you normally do makes less sense, but if you have a good vent, it will fit! You take the lid off (which is fun in itself), remove the thermal paste that is between the core and the lid, and you have a high quality liquid metal on the core! If you fuck up, and the sauce runs down, it can connect contacts on the chip (normally it's all sealed, but there are open pins you have to connect if you want to unlock the overclocking). And it's best not to put the lid on at all! No idea if there are copper lids to buy? You then have the fan directly on the core! you also have to be careful so that you give even pressure on the fan, because if you tilt the pressure, a part of the core could break off and bye CPU!

It works without problems for me (x470 i + 3700x). Put a little more conductive paste on it because the contact surface is not quite even for AMD (my x62 had very little paste on it - a colleague's was perfect). Temperatures during gaming max. 50 and during the stress test (Prime95) max. 75.
