I recently bought the Hyte Y60 case and the case forces you to front mount the GPU. Perhaps it is just coincidence but ever since I placed my card in this case it makes an unusual amount of noise. Its not super loud but loud enough to be noticeable. I was thinking maybe the pump is not designed to having the tubes sticking straight up rather than coming off the side. There has been no performance loss whatsoever but this noise persists even at idle. 

Yeah, you're right and I was going to originally but it slipped my mind. There should be a link for an image in this post. I should also point out that the rad for it is mounted in the back of the case.

I'll wait for others to comment more about the noise, but your build looks great!

Thank you so much! I appreciate it. I transferred this card from my old build and what made me fall in love with the card was just how much less noisy it is from the triple fan variety during heavy load. Now although this noise is nowhere near as annoying as a full load on a triple fan, it is concerning that perhaps this may be hurting the pump.
