So I decided to mount the radiator to the rear and slightly above the card, facing inward toward the back of the rear of the case. This insures the intake is cool air and the warm air from the radiator does not go into the case but blows away behind the case. I ran 8k Optimised tests on Superposition before and after and saw these differences:
Before external mount:
48c GPU
29c CPU
76c Memory Junction
After external mount:
44c GPU
26c CPU
72c Memory Junction
Nothing earth shattering but cooler is cooler and I love the results.
