Can't imagine that tubing is very good for the airflow. I know the fans are cooling the radiators, but the incidental cooling must be awful.

 

EDIT: Wait, is one of those tubes kinked? The second lowest one in the back, near that fourth Noctua fan. Very poor form.

watercooling in a nutshell

Most watercoolers don't kink their tubes.

False. This is what happens when someone cheaps out on fittings and buys all straight fittings, which forces you to have long tubing to avoid kinking.
