AIO question

[Azmo]

I just finished a new build and have gone with my first AIO.  After watching a bunch of videos on the case and AIOs in general, I wanted it front mounted with tubes down.  In that configuration, they will have to go over my GPU and rest on it.  Am i better off just changing the tubes to the top or will not cause any major issues?

It honestly doesn't matter that much.

You can have tubes up, it's not ideal but it's also not bad.

 

As long as the pump is not the highest point in the loop you're fine. That's the only really important thing.

Yes, it does not matter much for the tubs. Make sure the pump is just higher than the radiator aka lower than the highest point in the loop.

I had to place my radiator quite high up to get the pump in a safe position.

This is what I was able to do with them up, this shouldn't be detrimental to the AIO correct?

Nice, you got a 3080. Was it scalped?

Yeah, did you watch JayzTwoCents video.

I was fortunate and got one through BB. I was able to pay MSRP for all parts.

I did a while ago, but I mostly took notes like most people from the GN video.
