So, this is probably the first time I've ever asked a stupid question.... but...

Say I happen to have a 360 Radiator in pull Config(Custom Loop) and I decide to buy an AIO 120mm Cooler for a particular component that could only be place at the front of the case where the 360Rad is? Would there be an issue installing said 120Rad(Also in pull config) onto the 360? (Also yea you can't put a screw through a radiator but I have my own dodgy way of doing it without damaging da rad.)

Not even gon lie, I'm quite lazy which is why I don't want to undo the current loop and deal with bending the tubes etc to cool my Component...

 

UPDATE: I could probably cut the tube in the AIO and make it longer to help install the 120rad to the back, but ehhhh, too much effort.

Yes, there are instances where they show having (for example) Fans/Radiator/Fans/Radiator/Fans all mounted as a big sandwhich (2x240mm rads with 6 total 120mm fans) that actually don't help temps but its doable.

yeah you could do this no problem. 

only issue would probably be that the 120mm rad gets hot air from the 360, so cooling performance might not be ideal.

It's not going to perform very well since you are essentially stacking radiators which can be done but not recommended.

That was a quick reply. As long as its doable without to much of an issue, I'm happy. Thanks for your replies peoples.

 

Unless you have the correct length screws/threads etc - don't forget zip ties exist and work well for this kind of application.  Black ones blend in just fine.
