Hi
I am wondering if there is a best practice for front of case radiator mounting orientation? I see a lot of builds with the end tanks where the fittings attach at the top of the case. Is this for bleeding reasons? In my new build coming up in a CaseLabs Nova X2M mITX case their will be a 240 in front and 240 in top. As the pump / res combo will be mounted to the bottom of the chassis it seems like the shortest route would be to go from the pump into the front radiator at the bottom, then from there into the graphics card, cpu, top radiator, and then back into the top of the res.
Also having the end tanks/fittings on the bottom means that any drainage system near the pump at bottom of case will get most all of the liquid out of the system rather than having some trapped in the front radiator.
I would love to know if this setup will cause issues
