Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased a AMD FX-9370 which came with a liquid cooling CPU cooler, 1 radiator and 2x 120mm fans. I want to know if it was okay to mount the Radiator on its side?

What i mean by this is where the intake and outtake are to the radiator is located to face the side of my case, instead of facing down... So instead of the liquid going up and down within the radiator it would be going side to side, if that makes sense which I hope it does as I cant take a picture at the moment to demonstrate...

It has been running okay like this but I am more worried about long term or the performance if I was to continue running it like this, the only real reason I mounted it like this was because it was much easier to get on.

Appreciate the help,
Joel
