Hello, I have a Corsair 400c case. I need some assistance on where to mount my AIOs so that it looks clean and I can close the door. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Perfect. This is what I needed to see. How do you get the tubing for the graphics card to bend that way and stay put? Also, how much clearance do you have for removing the memory slots?

    I'm also planning on building something like this when Coffee Lake launches. I'm wondering how audible both pumps are and whether I should get a sound dampening case.

    Well if I can chime in, I have my dual 1080's in an old Fractal Define XL, and the system is pretty quiet.  I abuse the cards daily for folding, and I have 2 140mm and a 120mm intake in the front, and a side 140mm intake.  If I can barely hear my cards, you won't have any problems hearing your pumps in any Fractal noise dampening case.

    The velcro tie that's closer to the rad is holding the tubes together. Without the glass on it stickout out a little, with the glass on the case it pushes them down a little more and it's not an issue. 

    I had to sand the fan that's over the memory a little to get it to clear but it wasn't a big deal and didn't effect anything from a performance standpoint. In in Arizona and the summers are hotter here so my temps under load hover around 55C for both PC and GPU. I've seen both get as high as 58 once or twice, but nothing I'm worried about.

    This is how I mounted my Hybrid and H115i. Came out pretty clean, I think...

    I've mounted the radiator both ways, hoses on top and bottom. It made zero difference. Temps were the same in both orientations, with no noise.
     
    EVGA simply "recommends" mounted the radiator with the hoses on the bottom, yet it doesn't say in that link "DO NOT MOUNT HOSES ON THE TOP!"

    There is always some air in the cooling system, where would it go? The only answer - UP.
    This is not like pump is going to blow, but having some air bubble traveling back and forth will decrease its lifespan and affect cooling efficiency to some degree (make extra noise in some cases).
    What would be the opposite of recommended. Not recommended? :)

    Interesting setup, far be it from people on the internet to tell you how to set up your rig, but generally it's frowned on to put the RAD in that config. However you do you homie, you're a big person that can figure some of this stuff out on your own. 

    I do have questions for you, those are what are your temps like in a push pull config? Why did you decide to go push pull on the Rad? Did you think that the push setup wasn't going to be enough? 

    (Serious questions above, I'm not trolling or being sarcastic).

    Pascal loves temperature, Core clock changes when you hit a temperature limit and clock down about -12. Iam using push/pull on the radiator and i got -4-6 celsius after changeig the stock fan. Under load on 2063 Mhz on core clock and 6000 on the memory my temps dont go above 47-48 Celsius, at idle its almost 22 Celsius max 24 C.
