Up or Down, which way for radiator?

I bought a Corsair Hydro Series H50 and was just wondering is the tubes connected to the radiator should be on the bottom or top, or if it even matters.
thank you

Might make a difference if you're getting some noise from it, other than that I never saw any temp differences.

It shouldn't matter, correct. The only problem I can think of is that since it is a sealed LCS, if there is any air at all, having the tubing up might draw air...but hopefully that isn't the case.

Ok yeah it doesnt seem like there's any problem. im getting a temp. on idle of 84-86 F.
and thats with a phenom II x6 OC 3.6ghz. and the room temp of 80 F. but while playing games the CPU gets up to 100 F is that normal. (playing High graphical games)

We tend to work in Celsius, 100F = ~38C, you've got nothing to be concerned about.
