Is it recommended to have the tubing at the bottom of the top of the radiator? I’ve heard mixed opinions.

    Tubes at Bottom of AIO
     
    Or - the suction side down (colder line)

    Ok so I mounted everything and have 2 ek 120mm fans in push/pull at 75% I’m seeing temps in the heaven benchmark at 55c after 35 mins. Is that to be expected?

    Not bad
     
    Room Temp is ?
     
    Do you use EVGA Precision  X1 or MSI afterburner to adjust the Fan on the Card ?

    OK, what speed are the case fans running ?
     
    My point, many people default case fan speed to the CPU.  The current AIO keep CPU very cool - So, case fans run very slow
     
    Your temps are Not bad
     
    Is the GPUs radiator used as an Intake (getting the coolest air possible ?

    No it’s running as an exhaust, I was just curious if the temps seemed normal or not, I’ve been running heaven for about an hour and temps have stabilized at 56c. I appreciate the help my first hybrid card and my first Nvidia card in awhile. I know my case isn’t necessarily the greatest airflow wise, just wanted peace of mind that the card seemed normal before my rma period is up.

    As intake my guess would be even better. As long as there is no fan filter blocking air flow to the rad fan.

    But 55 for that bench is fine.. try gaming and then you'll get a better idea of normal temps as thats what you'll be dealing with majority of the time and not a bench designed to cook your card to max temp.

    Your temps are fine.  I'm having issues understanding where it's located.  Front, top or rear?  Having it as intake so you're getting fresh cooler air from the outside could improve your temps even further.

    I'm looking to mount mine in the top of the case (CaseLabs Mercury M8), so possibly the orientation shouldn't matter in my case?  But definitely using the fans as intake.
