It does matter that you don't use the fill/drain port in the middle of the intended flow path of a radiator -- lest you set up a situation where water isn't actually being forced through radiator fins.

Deuce posted:My understanding of fluid dynamics is that water will flow at equal pressure through all available paths. So, assuming both ports were open, water would go through both. And since the normal path is in one, out the other, we can assume this hits all the radiator fins. If you are absolutely sure you don't have a cooler that takes advantage of crossflow to increase efficiency or want to ignore that feature altogether, knock yourself out.

That's some good inexpensive cable management right there. Tidy. Maybe consider putting in a drain sooner than later -- you aren't on edge due to a hardware failure right now and can take your time with it to do it right. In the future, you might not want to be tempted to take shortcuts.
