Hello
Over the past few days, I've been doing the finishing touches to my PC, while I wait for the paycheck that'll go towards the final piece I need - the CPU. I've got around to installing the Corsair H80iGT water cooler in my system, but there was a problem.. my huge HX1000i PSU is too wide for the H80iGT to fit the proper way up, so I had to install it upside down as that was the only option I had.
My question is, will having the cooler mounted upside down affect the cooling performance in any way at all, or will it be OK?
The H80iGT suggests that the cooler will run best when orientated upwards in the right position, so please can someone tell me just how much the orientation will affect its performance?
My build will be a Skylake i7 6700K, and my GPU is a reference 980 Ti. I've got noctua NF-F12 fans for the cooler, and I plan to install the second fan once I've got the CPU in place, due to the fact I can't place the cooler in if I were to install both right now. I'm also planning to connect the fans up into the pump itself and control them with Corsair Link. Thanks for the help!
