Guys, quick question, I’m about the install my new 360 AIO. I want to put it at the front of the case, do I put the rad so the pipes are at the top or the bottom. Tried watching THAT video but he speaks so quickly and makes it so darn complicated that I just got confused.

Bottom for more silent operation and slightly longer longevity. 

Top for cool looks.

How do people even put them at the bottom? I've no chance in this case with this gpu. This will do :D

That would also be okay for a while. The key is keeping air bubbles out of the block. Down would be better or mount it to the top of you can. As the water permeates out of the system there will be more air and get sucked into the pump. This will cause more noise and possibly failure over time. Gamers Nexus did a video on that not too long ago.
