Could i leave a radiator from a all in one Water cooling system just hanging or sitting on the floor of my custom case?

Would it work, would it change temperatures?

 

[Jasjar]

Yes but it will hardly change temps at all.

 

[Rockergage]

What about just hanging off the mobo? bad idea?

 

[Jasjar]

Not a good idea.

Not a good idea.

Thought so, it looks like the tubes are not that long so i think i will just have it sit on the GPU and get back plate for the card. Thanks for your help you'll be selected for best answer

Not to necro a thread, but Rockergage, don't leave it on your GPU, there should be a place to mount the radiator/fan combo on the back of most cases. You'll likely end up damaging your video card over time doing that.

Sitting the radiator on top the GPU is the worst idea you could possible have. it will damage the GPU, plus you are drawing in the hottest air in your case, i would not doubt if you would get better cooling results just using the stock cooler.
