AIO tubing touching GPU back

[Beepok]

Will there be any problems caused by this? Just played a little far cry and found the gpu back that is contacting the tubing to be really hot. Will the tubing melt and leak? I cannt find any other ways to mount the cooler apart from this config...

Why don't you reinstall it in a different orientation?

I cant, it will hit the top casing fans, another orientation the tubing will be bent very badly.

you can rotate yr cpu water block to different orientation

The connecting pump tubes should be facing right side not on the left.

I cant do that, the tubing will hit the top case fans, i have 2x 120mm fans at the top of my case

You are not using a normal mid tower case ah?

Just wondering, why do you need a water cooler in a h97 mobo? Unless you want to get super cool temps without overclocking, I can't think of much reason you would do this.

My G3258 is at 4.7GHz

Right, I forgot some h97 mobo can overclock.

Use some string to hang it away from gpu

thanks, this was actually possible, but not anymore after I decided to put 2x 120mm fans on the top of my casing

use one hand to hold pipe when playing fc4

How about put a wooden block to prop up the tubing away from the GPU?

Burning point of wood a lot higher than melting point of tubing

Oh ya can use wood...thanks! Was thinking like styrofoam but like that melts very easily lol

Install such that the tubing from the rad is facing the side panel instead of facing the gpu. That should help alleviate the tubing at the cpu block.

If the tubing at the cpou block can be adjusted by turning the tubings to a different direction, you can try that as well. Doubt that position is fixed. Cant be facing down only bah.

Usually the nozzle for the tubings from the fan should be facing towards you, while the other end on the cpu block should be on the right side. It will not be hitting the top fans or GPU leh. Maybe take a picture of the full rig?

Is fixed de, no matter how hard i try to turn i cant, any other Deepcool Captain owners managed to turn theirs?.

Btw, I'm getting 58 degrees max after 2 hours of prime95. G3258@4.7ghz...is it good temp???
