hi,

just a quick question, recently bought a switch 810 case, i have a cpu only loop with a 240 rad which i want to put in and was wondering if placing it in the top of the case would affect temps, keep in mind i have a gtx480 with an AC accelero extreme2 cooler on it. great gfx cooler but it dumps all the heat in the case. my worry is all that hot air would be going through the rad if it was in the top, is this a valid concern or will it not make too much difference? i can mount it at the bottom of the case, i'm just weighing up my options. thanks in advance for any replies.
 
Thanks for the replies, I hadn't considered ease/difficulty of bleeding, using the top as an intake is a interesting idea but wouldn't I have a similar problem as described in the OP with hot air from the gfx passing through the PSU now instead of the rad?
