Easy to install and used my own thermal paste.

5GHz and 2 hours of AIDA64 stressing and highest package temp was 71c.

It seems you have little choice with your chassis, but I prefer not to use an AIO with the radiator installed tubes up. There is a greater chance of the head unit pulling air into it that way.

i was about to say that, mostly that your rad is 240mm, they have plenty space for making bubbles on top and killing pump faster, with 120mm the risk its lower, mine has been runing with tubes up for moar than 2 years, no sounds or problems so far, but i have seen some H100's and h110 units starting to produce odd noises with 30-45 days installed and tubes up, you better look for a better arrange there!

I am hoping my h80i will keep it cool once I upgrade if I don't have to get the h100i
how many fans does it have and which ones, H80's arent that bad, they perform great!

Regards,

Going to try and see if it's possible to reorient the rad without removing the water block because it's a kind of pain in the balls to mount lol

You could try to just flip the rad (tubes down), but I think the tubing may conflict with the GPU. Only way to know for sure is to try it.

As long as the pump is lower it should be fine

But if it cavitates then there will be noise

Sorry but, how can pulling small volumes of air in a closed system kill a pump?

Pumps are designed to pump fluid
if they suddenly pump air then fluid they have to work harder ( high load > low load > high load ect )
Pump needs to run at constant load / pressure for Optimal performance

I have the H110i GTX and it is arctic cold. even @ 4.8Ghz, the 3258 wont go over 45C. my 4690k made it to about 60C, no more, same with my Xeon. those things are WELL worth the $. ive run my share of custom loops, and the 110i is just as effective. love it.

i mounted mine similar to how you did too, but my phanteks has a bit more room.
