Shouldn't the tubing on the radiator be on the bottom? Gamers Nexus showed that mounting the radiator like that causes issues.

You should stick to reading quality sites like TechPowerUp as that has been discussed previously long before that other site made a video for the illiterate.

Normally i would agree, but since I am testing the units I do move the case around and check for cavitation etc via lack of coolant. Never had an issue with this setup. In fact on this chassis and in say the O11 Dynamic current AIOs could never be mounted in front with tubing at the bottom because it would never reach. Many AIOs on my current test platform its already a stretch during install. I also am not running coolers for years during testing they run for about 8 hrs. So for me and the review process here its not a factor. But for long term usage it can be a problem. However its an issue you can HEAR so if you hear it change the layout if it stops there ya go problem solved.
