Hey ya'll!
I have a quick question about AIO mounting due to me building my first system in a few weeks. Lemmie just get straight to the point:
I want to build my first system in this case: Lian Li Mid-Tower Chassis mATX
I want to put this AIO front mounted in this case: CORSAIR iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX
I've heard multiple times that you are not supposed to mount your radiator with the tubes facing up, but in this scenario I don't think there is enough clearance for It to be on the top. If you also look at the case, you will see that you cannot put tubes down If you front mount It either. The only option here Is for the tubes to be up. I've also heard on the other hand, that If you face your tubes upward and It's on the same level with your block (the thing that goes on the CPU) It will be fine.
Here's a reference picture of someone else's build with an AIO, the tubes are on the same level as the block: Imgur
