Yes it's obviously less convenient as you need to take the radiator off the refill. And also the reservoir when mounted upside right gives enough reserve of coolant to last for years without any maintenance, where as if mounted upside down you would likely need to refill or it would cost some possible gurgling noise (as the water level goes down)

Nvm, this wont fit the cosmos 2 with an sabertooth z77 without any mods frown.gif and a new case won't be bought in another 2-4 years I hope.. Custom WC will be the approach then.

You could always put the rad in the bottom and get some longer tubing...

Wouldn't the rad on the bottom be a bad Idea? I mean shouldn't the reservoir (water table) be higher than the pump?

That only applies to a separate pump and reservoir configuration.

other AIOs have no problem being oriented whichever way, and stephen has said it doesnt matter though there are "recommended" ways of mounting it.

If you use it as an AIO or fill it completely up, it's a moot point. If you open it up and plan to use the existing res, then yes, it should be on top. But this is still a very affordable option if you plan to go full loop, since it has a top-of-the-line block (it's based off the Apogee HD), a very strong pump, a 240 rad, and 2 high-static pressure PWM fans, for $140.

You could always add an extra reservoir if you expand to full loop, or am I wrong?

Well... I was specifically talking about needing to put the rad/reservoir higher than the pump when taking it apart.

having the reservoir higher than the pump is only a practical thing to fill up/prime the loop. If you feel it up outside of the computer (always a good thing, especially when it's that easy with a small look like this) you can have the reservoir lower than the pump.

That being said the tubing should be long enough to be installed at the bottom without doing any modification.
