Question about Black Ice II/Extreme

artemis0007 · 12-16-2001, 02:50 PM

Hi all!
I have a quick question about positioning the Black Ice II or Extreme. Are there ANY negative side effects if I had the Radiators on their sides such that the inlet is higher than the outlet or the outlet is higher than the inlet? Thanks!

ive seen them mounted this way in pics over @ www.overclock-watercool.com . Just make sure the outlet is higher than the inlet. This way air can escape easier.

Hope it helps.
