Motherboard Orientation advice

Aussie Pawz

Hey forum

i'm back to building another case to fit another radiator into my loop and i'm currently at a crossroad with how i plan to mount the motherboard.

I have 3 option to pick from

 

vertical ( io panel facing up with gpu hanging from thumb screw and PCI-e slot) (current orientation) 

45 degrees (there are no moving parts that will be mounted at 45 degrees )

flat horizontal (io panel  facing out the back)

 

here are a few pics of my current  pc sled that i'm using

Pc2

i'm stuck as to which way to build the new case as the i will have both rad's at the front pulling cool air in and being exhausted out the back

P.S i will also be making some custom individual sleaved power connectors for the 24 pin 8pins and 6 pins hit me up with your suggestions guys and gals please

When you say there are no moving parts that will be angled at 45°, the fans on your GPU are moving parts. I don't know how well they respond to being on an angle.

 

Derp I'm retarded. Your GPU is watercooled.

 

I don't know of any technical reasons to mount it one way or another when there are no moving parts so I'd just say whatever you want :P.

I personally think having it Vertical is the best, never seen a 45degree mount though.
