Yep, with that case you’re not really making airflow any worse, it’s not like a case with intakes on the sides of the front panel where you’d be adding a significant restriction.

If I’m being nit picky then your really not suppose to have your AIO upside down like that from what I’ve heard/seen. Not sure how bad it would be for you in this instance though. Also no way ur front panel fits back on that case with that rad in the way right? Lol
GoatInferno
Looks like it was made for it!

Send it, if it fits and doesn’t inhibit air flow then let it fly.
Enigmatic_Observer
heck, that may even perform better than most other positions I see

Absolutely, you just need to get the fans on there on the other side, and use the fans themselves to mount the rad onto that front panel.. That case has intake on the front so you’re actually doing this PERFECTLY.

So long as enough air can get in, it’s fine. There’s no GPU there so no need to worry about pre-heating its airflow, and such a system won’t generally have a very powerful CPU, so the radiator isn’t being used fully.
You’re fine.

Ayy NX200M brethren!
Yep, should be fine. As long as the Rad has fans, and there is a clear path to, through, and from the radiator it’ll be all good.
DVD-RW
Looks good and it works, go for it.
NoobAck
And the fans pulling air through the radiator are barely functioning and bad at cooling down the rad here
IchedDyy
I was shocked on the second picture how thicc the front cover is. Go for it.
ecktt
I saw somewhere (probably GN with Noctua) that it’s easier to push air through a radiator than it is to suck air.
Is it okay: Yes
Is it optimal: Probably not.

Unless I’m misunderstanding according to [This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbGomv195sk) Gamers Nexus Video you should flip the aio and have the tubes at the bottom so bubbles don’t accumulate around the tubes

Damn, jealous even.

I have the same exact case, how did you put the pipes inside the case with the radiator outside?
sadisticsignaleer
I think there’s a possibility that it lowers the overall air volume through the front of the case. Nothing truly worrisome but I’d keep an eye on your thermals just to make sure you’re getting the performance you expect. Looks good though
lolwutboi987
I have that case! Yeah it’s a good spot, just your pc might be dustier and your gpu will get hotter than usual since everything is impeded by the radiator.
BlackCatFurry
Completely fine.
I always mount my cpu aio radiators to the front of the case, because my cpu cools much better that way and i have never had issues with gpu temps.
blue_beam1520
Yeah because its blocking all the intake air that could be coming in thru the front

Bro thats literally the definition of a sleeper. Looks awesome🥹

I run this exact case and setup for about 3 years now. No issues at all

Yeah sure, fits nicely
