So this might be a dumb question but I've noticed looking at alot of different setups that most I see people who mount there all in one radiators to the top of the case put the hoses towards the front of the case. I currently have mine installed with the hoses towards the rear of the case. Is there a reason to put them towards the front or is that just what most choose?
 
People just pick which is easier to mount. No difference in performance.
 
I wouldn't think there would be for top mounts, thanks for the reply. I just wanted to double check to see if I was missing something. I think I picked towards the back mainly so that the cooler tubes wouldn't block my ram slots in case I want to add/change ram.

Correct, if you were side mounted though you'd want the tubes on the bottom of the radiator :)
