One question though.

If you were to rotate the radiator 180° where the tubing connections were near the PSU end, and keep the pump where you have it, would this allow you to have shorter tube routes when it enters/deprts the basement?

It seems that the exit from the res would have a much shorter run length to get back to the pump. Also, the run from the pump to the radiator would almost be the same length (or at least hidden down there). Just curious if this is possible.
Snyxx,
Thanks for the compliment. A very good question! I actually toyed with that very set up. It is possible but difficult. My PSU is very big too and the distance between the Rad and the PSU is small. With my PSU I would have had to use two 90's out of the Rad. I tried a 45 but the tubing would be touching the PSU, potentially more heat.



Then you would have a hole at the end of the midplate and the tubing would run under the CPU tubing. So yes, it would work, but I didn't like the look. Now if you use the 120.3 like BA did in his build, you have many more possibilities. HTH
