so my card is arriving soon, i always thought from most pics that i have seen that the best placment for the radiator is in the rear, as you can see my case is small and my gpu is vertical (no going back, i cut my case for this mod) so i dont really want to bend the tubes and shove them in the back, so this is my only option, (see pic) , is this ok ? i will need to reposition my top aio a little back so that there is space infront of the top intake fan

Should be okay as long as you have the radiator mounted so the hoses are at the bottom. Have you measured the distance from where the hoses would be to the front of the case? The hoses are only about 15 inches long.

looks Good - as Intake  If you were to end up using the rear fan mount - then loop the hoses, do not bend them - if they kink the flow will be impacted or even stopped My Case is Much bigger - Sometimes we are forced to be creative ---> My AIO Folding Rig Top hose --> is the pressure line - --> flow is From Pump to radiator & under pressure - Warmest hose, bringing GPU heat from the card Bottom hose --> is return line ---> flow is from radiator to the pump [this is an older picture ... I have added an additional intake fan to the bottom of the case]

Yes, using the Cooler outside air will help with your GPU temps

As long as you have good airflow in a case having it in the front is just as good as having it in the back. It's one of those myths that people buy into when really the with good airflow the front and the back of a case are going to be pretty close. I know someone will say overclocking is going to be effected but if the system isn't heat stable well beyond that point it would be crashing on hot days.

I say move the top CPU AIO Rad to the front and move the GPU AIO up top as intake, presuming there's filters being use on both front and top. Than just use the rear as exhaust.

question is, the air being pulled from within the case, is it not too warm ?
