Is this bend safe?

Just installed the EKWB Predator 360 and it's a damn tight fit in the corsair 750D. I got it to fit fine but the tubes have no room. They're pretty tight and it looks like they're being put under tension. I've seen some pictures of people with this thing in a 750D. 

I let it run for about 15 minutes and there were no leaks.

The pictures attached are mine. (Ignore the dust)

That's perfectly safe, if you needed to it could go for an even tighter radius on their tubing since it's the thick walled stuff and the compression fittings hold very well.

Sorry if I sound like a total noob (probably because I am).

Whew thats a relief. One more question if you don't mind. Is it normal for the fittings to swivel with the tubing? When I was installing the water block the fittings that connect the tubing to the pump/res turned with the tubing. I'm not sure if these fittings are meant to do that or not. If I try to tighten them the tubes move with them. /noob

On the pump/rad side I don't think they are rotary fittings just extenders so the fittings themselves shouldn't turn with the tubing, but just to confirm @EK Luc can probably weigh in on that.

I actually just looked at the last page in the manual and it says they are rotary fittings. Sorry!1473394805859-1247972360.jpg
