I just so wanted to not be the only one with an *** backwards rad...

Well I still edited before I saw your post...so it counts...

I was too busy staring at the hoses and the routing...

That reminds me. I want to enable thread functionality that shows you when a new post comes in live. So if you're sitting there writing out a long post or walk away for a few mins, if a new posts hits the thread, there will be a popup. That *should* prevent crosstalk.

Sorry @ratbuddy.. happy to clean this up if you want.

No way, I'm just happy my thread is getting any traffic

Having gone through a Hybrid I can appreciate the work that went into your's...The pics look great. . Nothing like tearing apart a GPU worth it's weight in Gold Bullion.

So I removed the PSU tunnel cover (up in the front under the CPU rad) and added another A12x25 blowing straight upwards, also added a cover over the front panel bottom fan position so the air is forced up and in rather than immediately going back out. Added an A6 on top of the GPU for now, while I wait for an A9x14 to come in - the A6 had to be sort of wedged under the CPU block, but the A9x14 should slide right under. Switched the rear fan to exhaust. PCH in the upper 50s to lower 60s now, I'm fine with that
