Can I install my AIO Pump Upside Down?

The pump is designed to have the tubes right next to the RAM, but that requires bending the tubes in a very unnatural way when mounting the radiator on the side of the case.

 

Would it be a problem to mount the pump upside down with the tubes closer to the I/O shield’s side of the case?  The tubes are much more flexible that way.

Not really, you can mount it any direction possible.

Orientation doesn't matter. Just make sure the hoses at the radiator are above the pump.
