I have been asking this question if mounting a radiator like this would degrade performance. Here is a picture froma review where this guy has a radiator mounted in the same way I would like to mount mine. Here it is http://www.blargoc.co.uk/reviews/dan...e2/page2.shtml

The reason I am asking is that I have an Inwin Q500. And because of the way the case is mounting a heater core in the top like that would be so easy. But mounting the way this guy did his I believe would be more effective cause if I mounted it towards the back, another place that has ample room, I fear it would pull back in the warm air from the power supply. I realize that I would have to bleed it first with the rad upright to remove air but after that will it work well mounted like that in the picture?
