how are the temps? if they are good dont worry about flow.

The way you routed the hoses looks nice.
 
i wish i had the money to spare on liquid cooling

CPU idles at 27-30 depending on ambient temps. I haven't tested load temps yet
 
that p.c case is it a cyber-power by any chance.?
i had one about 2-months back was a smart strong whell built case.
 
the case is an Ultra Aluminus, fyi I dont like the case, would not recommend.

i thought the legs on them cases were a nice design my case rocked about a bit where i had
it but when there where out it made it more stabel.
just out of curiosity did you paint your case black.?
the one i had was a smokey black colour but your one looks like a mat-black finish.

A few questions -

The 90 degree bends, do they affect temperature at all?

Also, as you have your radiator mounted on top of the case, what are you using to raise it off the case roof? looks like a fan mount or something, cant quite tell?

The temps are not affected from the 90º bends as far as I can tell. And what you see in between the rad and the case is the spacer that came with the swiftech kit. It was originally mad to go on the back-side of the case.
 
are those garden hose?
