[SOLVED] AIO Tubes touching Backplate

[ironcreeper2004]

For aesthetic reasons, I've tucked my AIO Tubes behind my vertically mounted GPU, my only concern is that the tubes are resting on the backplate. I know that usually this is okay but due to a decent amount of each tube resting on the backplate, I was wondering if it's enough to do anything?

Thanks for any help.

reee that makes me kinda worried about it. It can heat up the liquid inside the tube and cause problems, avoid that as much as possible

I wouldn't worry about it unless it is putting lateral pressure on the GPU, causing it not to seat properly.

The heat issue is mostly a non-issue - the AIO would dissipate any minor heat soak

I mostly agree with Rubix. My only real concern is your bend radius. Depending on tube material, that can lead to micro cracks which speed up liquid loss through evaporation through tube migration. Some tubes are better at bending due to material than others.

This is very true, and depends on the internal sheathing material used for the tubing.
