Does anyone know if mounting a heatercore sideways will lower temps? The waterbox I'm building will be annoyingly tall if I have to place the bonneville HC vertically. Or I guess I could just find a squater HC, hmm..

opinions?
 
Yep, what happens is that the core is pulling air in one side and out the other without blowing it over the internals of your box. Since its a external box anyway it shouldnet effect your temps to much. A lot of people do it when they mount the core in their cases.
