I'm well aware of this but I decided on this orientation since what really matter for me is to get the hot air out of the case and above (heat rise toward the ceiling). The HTPC box is not about max overclock and the CPU temp is hovering under 48C top under load while the GPU is also hovering around 47C. Both run F@H clients.

Another issue is that the cards is partially blocking the airflow if I put the fans to blow downward. It's a well thought compromise that I picked for that project.

Ya, I noticed that only after I filled the loop but since it works fine, I will leave as is. It's the tubing which is pushing the card a bit and I should have cut the tube section from CPU to GPU 1/4" shorter. As Bojamijams said, the PCD is surprisingly flexible and the full cover block will keep the important parts stiff.
