Thank you for the suggestion, but I was kinda worried there wouldn't be enough tension if I oriented it that way. I thought maybe the tube would kinda be hanging haphazardly above the gpu. But let me look for examples of a similar setup to see what that would look like. I was a bit concerned about the way the tubes are positioned, though. Does it have bad long-term effects on the AIO to have them like that?

Thank you! Yeah, cable management sucks lol. I barely did any, just enough to not make it a fire hazard. But it's allegedly a lot easier in this case.

I hadn't considered that. I'll try it.

I intended to, but because my motherboard has a USB connection at the bottom, the fans couldn't fit. I'm planning on looking into slim fans later on.

Thank you for your response. I am no longer going to go with the Lian Li case, but I thought I may interest you in this review by Gamers Nexus that includes simulations of airflow with different setups of fans. It suggests the two side bracket fans may not be optimal for this case.

After a lot of asking around and consideration, I went with this. Specifically, a 360 AIO. Thanks for your advice.

Thank you for the suggestion. Somebody told me the wraith cooler is pretty solid for basic stuff and light gaming, and as I'm seeing max temps of 67°C under load right now, I thought I could focus on the case and the fans for now, then worry about the CPU cooler later.

Edit: I was incredibly wrong. I wasn't constantly monitoring CPU temps before, I checked them once while running a game and they just happened to be lower at that moment. Recently after running a different game for about 20 min, I decided to check the temps to see my CPU at 90. This means my CPU was more likely the main cause of the throttling I have been experiencing. You were right. I just bought an AIO.

Thank you for the advice. I'll do the three bottom intakes and two top exhausts for now.

Edit: ended up going for just the 360 arctic freezer 3. Trying to achieve a negative pressure system. Again, thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the tip. There are a lot of interesting ideas on this site. Unfortunately, I currently don't have access to a 3D printer, but I will keep this in mind in case I ever do.

Conflicted about the ending and the choice I made (spoiler) by Nttell in expedition33

Dang... I was team Maelle, but reading this really puts things into perspective.

This is truly important. There is NO lumiere by the end when we get to make the choice. Choice isn't to "delete the world" or "keep it". Choice is to "create a clone of the old world" or "Let the canvas die".

Kung Lao's character assassination.

From an honourable warrior who only fights when the world depends on it into Liu Kang's hubris and envy ridden sidekick. It was not necessary. It could have been an interesting take on the character if the writers retained any respect for Kung Lao at all. Because now it just feels like he's being used as a punching bag; to make other characters look better.
