EVGA 1080 TI hybrid kit fan placement

[ptptp10086]

i want to buy EVGA GTX TITAN X (Pascal) / GTX 1080 Ti FE HYBRID Waterblock Cooler, Cooling, 400-HY-5388-B1 to cool my GPU, but in my case there arent any top bracket to put the waterfan. i have to put it in front of my case which will be in a lower position than my GPU, so its like my gpu is higher than my waterfan, will that cause any issues at all? i heard its gonna creat a water bubble or somesort, could anyone confirmed this? sorry for my noob question.

pretty much just below level with the card been running it that way for a good year

like on page 2 how he got his on the floor ?? id just set the radiator in that space between the drive bays in the front if it did not block too much air flow for the radiator ?? [mine is just sitting on the floor of the case ]

thing is if you go with thats hybrid that's part of it . I tried several ways and level with the card as in the drawing worked out the best for me . that's something you got to experiment with on whats best for you

my max temp so far has been 48c I average about 40/45c pounding on it
