a240g install

[Catch22]

So, I'm currently installing my first custom water cooling loop ever the A240G and I'm using the Razer H440 case and the only place to mount the reservoir is on the ceiling of the chassis I'm slightly nervous about it. I know its easy to slip up and even more so when you're mounting a reservoir on the ceiling so any suggestions? Any help is appreciated!

Mounting a reservoir sideways does work, however vortex's are definitely issues. I got sick of that, after a month, and ended up mounting my pump/res combo externally on the back of the chassis, with tubing and pump power running through a PCIe slot.

What about the water being dragged down by gravity? Will that do anything bad to my loop?

My old loop in the H440 used to have the reservoir mounted horizontally on the PSU shroud. It currently looks like this, modded:

I'm pretty sure that would be possible, I think I've seen that done before with an H440. Just make sure that your reservoir is secure and you shouldnt have any troubles.

and you're sure nothing bad will happen to the loop with the water being dragged down by gravity?

Not too sure, but I'm pretty positive it should work.
