AIO tubes | Too much bend?

So I should try to rotate the tube that is closest to the mobo, in front of the block/away from the mobo? That is the only tube that I have any real concern about. 

Rotating it forward will lessen any potential strain on the fittings, but as said even now it's not something that looks like it's a major problem. 

HI all

 

So I just installed an AIO CPU cooler in my system. The fit was a bit tight, in-terms of the tubes. I was just wondering if the tubes bend are ok. The tube furthest away from the mobo has some slack(ish) and has a fairly wide bend, I think that one is good. But the tube closest to the mobo is a bit tighter and has a greater bend, which is the one I am wondering about. 

Do the bend in the tubes seem ok?

The tubing itself looks alright, I’d be more worried about pulling in the rotary fitting but that should be fine as long as it’s not being pull under tension. Rotating upwards in front of the block should alleviate any cause of concern.

Yeah, I will see if I can move it forward a bit, but it think it will be alright. Thanks for your help! :)
