My goal: Want a non overclocked, whisper quiet build for gaming at 1440p/75fps average
Case: Phanteks p400a. Says you can't ceiling mount a radiator
The Card: evga 2080 RTX Super Black using a Kraken G12 mounting kit
This will be the first time I have ever replaced a video cards cooler as well as my first ever AIO. It's a H55 Corsair Hydro. Of all the things I didn't research was how long the tubes are.
Now before I install it I'm eyeballing it and thinking I'll never make it from the GPU to the front or the rear for mounting. The tubing is 300mm and feels rigid.
Am I being paranoid about the length? Is it safe to bend the tubing to reach a good mounting spot? Is it absolutely required for the radiator to be above the pump? (Cancels out a basement mounting if so)
Thanks.
