Hybrid Mounting Question

isdouble

Hey guys, I recently bought a MSI GTX 1080 TI Seahawk X edition and had a question on what the orientation of the tube should be. 

I installed the radiator as the exhaust to the back of the case with the tube on top of the radiator.

Maybe it's not a problem for any case but I see some people placing the tube on top of the radiator or bottom of the radiator. 

Is it a preference thing or am I doing it wrong?

 

Off topic, the card is great! Max temperature is 47C with the fan speed at 40%. I can maintain 2000+ MHz during benchmarks!

Currently at 100 core / 300 memory and stable.

Unfortunately anymore than 100 to the core crashes Heaven. I'll probably play with the voltage later and see if I can improve it.

 

Thanks in advanced.

tubes down so they dont suck in a little bit of air is the conventional wisdom i believe
