I'm about to build my first watercooling rig,
and I'm wondering if it would be a mistake to do things my way.
Like, why is the radiator nearly always stuck up against the roof of the machine?
Is that purely for convenience, or is there a practical reason for it?
Personally I was thinking about sticking the reservoir in as the highest place of the loop,
because to me it makes sense to keep everything flooded when you power down.
If anything above the reservoir drains out when the pump is powered off,
wont you constantly have to deal with air getting trapped?
