Is this crazy bend dangerous to the life of the Cooler Master Seidon 120v ver. 2 ?

[TheImperialEngineer]

Hey guys,

 

So basically, Got a Sharkoon Shark Zone C10 Mini-ITX case(its actually pretty good)... also got a Cooler Master Seidon 120v ver2 to cool an Intel i3 4170(overkill cooler, I know). Anyway, because the case is tiny... the tube for the water cooler flex's like crazy. I've attached a picture to demonstrate how it would look once attached. Is it risking the integrity of the cooler or is this amount of flex fine. I don't want this crazy bend to cause a leak in the system in the future. If its risky id rather go for the Noctua NH-L9i. I've got a H100 in my own rig but its in a much bigger case so no worried of tube stress. Please could you guys lemme know if this is dangerous/risky?

 

Thanks in advance guys.

So long as the joint at either end of the tube aren't stressed and the tubing isn't kinked it should be fine

That should be fine..

As long as you don't have any 90 degree sharp edges you're fine.

It won't cause a leak unless there's a serious kink in the tubing that causes pressure to build up. There's very slight kinking by the looks of things, but it will be fine, not damaging to the unit.

it doesn't look like its actually kinked, so it should be fine

As long as the hoses aren't kinked I don't see a problem. Thought it might create stress on the motherboard...

Thanks for that blazing fast reply guys. So would you guys be comfortable to go with this config or prefer a low profile cooler like the Noctua NH-L9i ?

 

Thanks again
