yes thats exactly how i mounted it.. the 4 fan screws on top are plenty to hold it tight on the case

Thanks. And you also amazingly found space for the HDD carriers as well? :) PAs are pretty thick :)

yah i mounted the harddrive brackets on the 120.2 radiator in the back, there is very little room between the back of the harddrives and the back of the 5 1/4 bays.. but with a little patience it worked out fine

PAs are VERY thick! I would say twice the thickness of a corresponding DD or Swiftech one. I assume this is why they perform so well... But what I dont get is how they perform well with the lower CFM fans... I would think it would need higher cfm to blow all the heat out of there. Counter intuitive, i guess.

The lower CFM fans like Yates have high static air pressure, which is good for forcing the air through the radiator, not the CFMs.

I read somewhere that someone compared a Yate Loon fan to a Thermaltake. The Thermaltake had more air flow (higher CFM) but the yate had substantially higher static air pressure. The Yate Loon gave better performance with the tested radiator due to the fan blade design.

well, on the actual GPU core and memory is still nice, but the outside has tarnished a little (i think?)

sdkevin, how did you mount that rad up there with the fans at the top and the rad beneath the fans? Did you apply some kind of support beneath the rad?

His temps are extremely off and his loop is terrible. Good job. :slap:

90* barbs do hurt flow, thus affecting performance. Small tubing, it's really not that big of an issue but larger is preferred. And the blocks hes using? :rofl:

if you know what's a pressure drop and which are the differences between 2 different ID tubing or barbs...i think you should try to post a useful comment or some good councils,and not a terrible comment like this.
