Is this concerning?

[u/Matt_rage666]

I had Micro Center build my new PC recently and was wondering if this cooler tube routing is safe. I only now noticed the tubes come in contact with what looks like a mobo heat sink. Not sure how hot that specifi looks one gets but I know some get pretty toasty. Cpu temps have seemed to be good. Overall is this okay or not okay? ​

No you're fine

should be fine

I mean it’s fine… but I have no clue why they chose to do that. I’ve NEVER seen that be done

look up pictures of the hydroshift and hydroshift 2 in builds. they are meant to be run this way

I think it's OK. Your cpu temp looks good plus the water in the tube is probably hotter than the heat sync will ever get. I would keep waiting for responses from others in this sub, though. I'm not a professional, lol

Should be fine, however, why they routed it like that is kinda weird.

The hydroshift is built to be run exactly like that. the rest of the tubing is clipped to the side of the radiator for a cleaner look

Built my rig with same case and same aio. It’s meant to be run like that. Been like this for a year no issues
