corsair h50 clearance issue

[busterben]

can the tubes be somewhat tight?
i have the h50 set up like this:

and i was wondering if i could cause any strain on the tubes.

otherwise i have to use a smaller vga card.
one above is a gtx280.
any ideas on similar game card.
i think the 250 might be a good choice:

turn the block/pump centre section 90º right so the tubes go out from the right hand side. i know the corsair logo wont be right way up but the tubes will route better. the block/pump section doesnt have a right way up from what ive seen. the one in my other pc isnt striaght up.

It will look better with sleeved cables.

why not use longer fan screws and add a spacer for the bottom fan to get some more flex..., maybe an 80mm to 120mm duct convertor for the rear ?

i already use a nexus fan adapter shown here

would adding spacers make the construction less rigid then?

Just use longer screws to screw down the Nexus fan adapter and put eg a spacer of 5-10mm to raise the H50 unit, this will allow some more flex in the tubing... the mounting will be as rigid...
