Hello
 
I have been an owner of this GPU for several years, 2nd hand card but no problem really except some tubbing sleeves that got worn out with multiple PC rebuilds from one case to another.
anyway, to make long story short my PSU decided to inject higher voltage/current it should in my Gaming rig and fried my CPU AIO, 2 HDD and 1SSD.
One of the PCIE cable going to the GPU also burnt in the drama but thanks God the card is safe from what I see.
 
Now I am going to buy a new CPU AIO but I am freaking out about Rad positioning so decided to install  it at the top of my case, the Coolermater Q300L.It says it doesnt fit but actually I will make it work since this case has multiple holes on the top panel that allow to adjust poistioning of fans or rads actually.
 
The only issue and why I am  seeking advice is that I would need to flip the 1080Ti Rad tubbing from Top as they have bene for years to bottom (see the attached pic, an please dont flame about the electrical tape as the tub sleeves got worn over the years)so I can squeeze the 240mm CPU AIO Rad properly and I am concerned with trapping air by doing so affecting the pump and shortening its life span as a consequence.
 
the PSU crash I have just experienced might biase my judgement and sense so I might be overthinking so again, any advice appreciated
 
thanks so much
 
Olivier

    Welllll actuuuuuuuuaaaaaaallllly.... the tubes should be on the bottom. That way any air, and there is always air, migrates up and stays in the top expansion tank of the rad and does not get sucked back into the pump. So no problem mounting it that way at all with the hoses on the bottom. That is the best mounting. Also I keep rolls and rolls of black electrical tape. It's the PC equivalent of duct tape. Just an idea to spruce up your eyesore on the cheap.

    thank you.
     
    I appreciate the reply, including the sarchasm about the electrical tape and yes it looks uggly I know this will be fixed when I fix the whole PC obviously and black will be the way to go unless I set some custom sleeves
     
    Anyway,I also read that tubbing position for a Rad being CPU or GPU cooling is supposed to be est at teh bottom but few years ago when I did the 1st build with both, it wasnt that obvious looking around
     
    and you see thousands of builds where people just dont have the space to achieve that
     
    If I follow that route, I guess my question was what precaution should I take whne I diassemble the rda and reposition it with tubes at the bottom to avoid creating an issue down the road
     
    hope this clarifies
     
    thanks so much for any input here

    I'm not sure what your question means. You've moved it before, so rotating the rad so the tubes are on the bottom won't cause any issues. Less chance of an air bubble is a plus.
