AIO Stretching

[goldillux]

Hi everyone! 

 

I made this account specifically to ask this question. I've had this AIO since 2018 and it has worked great for me ever since. But I transfered it to a new build and was wondering if what I did (see attachments) is okay.

 

This AIO can only go two ways, the radiator tube to the left, or to the right. Front mount does not reach.

 

On my photos, I did the right side configuration. However, this required a bit of fighting to get the radiator screwed on top of the case. I used to do the left side configuration but it blocked my exhaust fan a bit and touched the graphics card's PCB.

 

If I were to move it to the left side, I'd have to bring the radiator up and put the fans below it as it won't fit due to the exhaust fan being there, and thus making cleaning harder.

 

My concern is that is stretching like this bad? Like does it pose a bigger chance of my tubings leaking or something? Should I switch it back to the left side and just trade safety for ease of cleaning.

 

Thanks!

The tubes aren't stiff. If I move them up or down, they move without much force.

I don't care about the life of the AIO. Just wanna be sure it won't kill my stuff.
