i can proudly say... nope...
i had to hold myself back on the clamps a bit... the conan in me was thinking "stronger is better" but then i read about how some times it can cause damage by applying too much pressure on the clamps? especially the metal screw worm drive kind...

Yes, as long as you can get all the air out of the radiator. The only reason to have the barbs on top is to get the air out of the radiator header and to keep it out. Air pockets in the radiator impede it from releasing the heat in the coolant coming from your CPU.

hmm, input at top barb and output at bottom barb should purge the air out eventually or should i place the computer on it's side (hence barb is up) to purge air out?
and bout the pump... yea, i kinda thought it would create quite a bit of vibration and furthermore, Lian-Li cases have quite a bit of moving/rattling parts in the case...
the swiftech kit came with a 1/4" neoprene padding that i used to glue to bottom of pump then to bottom of case.
thanks again for your feedbacks, comments and advice!
