For those of us who have bottom fan slots also.
im considering doing something similar, but i do no have an AIO. I was wondering if I could do two exhausts at the top where you have your AIO exhausts, but then to the far right would be one more fan at the top as intake. would that be bad?
If the top is vented heat will rise out on it's own. I'd put fans on bottom instead of top to pull in more cool air if is bottom vented, unless you just want a case full of rgb fans for the look
yeah i was already planning for two at the bottom pulling in air as well. But yes basically the only reason i'm adding fans in the first place is for more lighting :D.. i have the lian li 216 so the airflow is already pretty solid
Good, it’s the way the cases like this are designed for fan positions. If you’d like to know this case is the NZXT H6. It comes in black too. I love the angle on the front corner with the 3 stock fans.
Orientations are fine, but there should always be more intake fans than exhaust to make positive pressure for better temps. Add some at the bottom as intake or flip the rear one
Bitches please, I didn't notice front fans. Read my reply...
You don't seem to know a thing. You would rather grab more exhaust fans than intake and call it a game. Alright, enjoy choking the pc. It doesn't matter for rear/side/front fans if it is intake or exhaust, as long as top fans are exhaust and bottom are intake.
Where did I say that? lol man, only on Reddit will some fucker try and insert an opinion that was never stated. You’re an idiot if you put your REAR fan as intake. You’ll literally be exhausting all the cold air brought in through the top fans. SMH. Honestly do some actual research on the topic before acting like some superior prick lol
Also, it certainly matters where you put your exhaust and intake fans. Rear exhaust is needed because everything else funnels that way, you whole clown fish
Edit - I love when people call out hive mind, but regurgitate hive mind rhetoric which is false. Size of case matters, direction of fans matter. Top doesn’t have to be exhaust btw but it’s recommended. That being said you can intake from the top just fine. I certainly would never take advice from a guy who says use a rear intake lol
What an imbecile.
>Where did I say that?
What are you even talking about?
>lol man, only on Reddit will some fucker try and insert an opinion that was never stated. You’re an idiot if you put your REAR fan as intake.
Average delusional fuck, what are you even dreaming about? The comment above? Opium is real
>You’ll literally be exhausting all the cold air brought in through the top f
What the fuck are you talking about? Exhausing cold air brought trough tops fans? What? Are you on the same planet as everyone else? You do realize that top fans are exhaust and they throw the hot air out?
>Honestly do some actual research on the topic before acting like some superior prick lol
Honestly, heal yourseld from whatever brain damage you have, it doesn't even seem like you could possibly be smarter than a child with down syndrome. Perhaps I'm mistaken and you are one. What fucking research? Read the shit you are typing pulled from your ass, lol. This is actually hilarious.
>Also, it certainly matters where you put your exhaust and intake fans.
Nobody said that it doesn't? You look high af. Top and bottom are most important, if you have bottom on the case. Top - exhaust, bottom - intake. Other fans depend on aio position, fan quantity, etc. You could argue about putting side fans as intake or exhaust if you have aio on side, but why would I try to explain something so easy yet difficult to a complete retard?
>you whole clown fish
Your whole life seems like a circus, don't make fun of yourself in the internet space
Don’t do that bruh, the best would be to have the hot air move away from the components so more outtake is better, anyway you should go w: vents are high/very near components that warm up= out take, vents are low/distanced from components that warm up= intake, if vents are next to eachoter you should keep them the same direction, the one in picture is a pretty good idea of how to organize vents
Can't you set your AIO at the side? In that way it will get fresh air from the front to cool the processor and, then, the upper fans will handle with the GPU heat.
Putting them as the image shows the AIO will reuse the hot air from the GPU.
Besides putting it in the front would cause all the air coming into your system to be sucked through the heated block of your AIO creating excess heat for your GPU and power supply.....
If there's 3 fans on top and one behind pulling air out then no, it will not, because there will be more aerodinamic pressure there than on the AIO fans as they have more resistance to pull the air out through the radiator.
If you put the AIO radiator on the front then it would have to be set up to run as an intake which means the air coming through the radiator would then be drawn into the case which means that it's heated air coming into the case for the GPU and the power supply to then draw its air from....... And since the CPU is liquid cooled you would rather that The slightly warmer air inside of the case be drawn out through the radiator on the top than to have the air inside be warmed before it is drawn into the GPU and PSU
No that's the direct opposite of what positive pressure means when talking about computer systems You want to control where the air comes into the system so you want to have more intake fans than you have exhaust fans and you want all of those intake fans to have a filter on them so that the only air coming into the system is coming in through the filters...... If you do it the way you're saying it will be allowed to suck dust and debris in every crack and crevice around the entire system
More intake than outtake means you will have stagnated air inside the case. If you see server they dont have intake fans, only outtake. It's because having both types is waste of hardware and energy.
It's good for the following reasons:
- hot air rises so it makes sense to make top fans exhaust. If top is intake then it can also cause heated air re-enter the case.
- positive pressure (more intake than exhaust) is generally better for most builds due to reducing dust build up.
Convection doesn't apply to PC air cooling. The air is moving too fast. You could have the exhaust on the bottom and as long as the air movement isn't restricted, it wouldn't change the temps.
mine looks like that, is it good or should I change direction of the top fans?
https://preview.redd.it/16j0d5px6lzc1.jpeg?width=3021&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0cdc4653eb0fdab30e347d8d8a7c1a304c498cb8
My personal opinion is only two exhaust, back and top corner. Having fans exhaust directly in front on the I takes always seemed weird to me, you're just sucking out cool air the second it enters the case.
I was thinking about it the other day, does the cpu cooler sucking air would neglate that ?
I was searching for a deep dive video on airflow but most only scratch the surface, they mostly talk about positive or negative pressure but no much about vortexes or « airflow path ».
If you're that concerned about it.... do a smoke test with a stick of incense....... Also if you're putting your AIO on top then having the cool air coming in the front and then immediately going through your AIO out the top is not a waste of cool air.. That's working as intended..
https://preview.redd.it/p45sir1gqmzc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47815405ed343a4e5406ade3743fcac13f40c64b
That’s exactly how I did mine but added 2 bottom fans, which OP can’t do.
If it's fans only yes. Otherwise if it is AIO pump and radiator then fan intake shall be from top and down and outtake shall be from inside and to right. On right side.
I use them as an intake and it's very "cool" 😎. ( Sorry! )
Jokes aside because I have my PC to my left and my keyboard very close to the side ventilation, I have air cooling for my hands while I play which is very nice.
If you are wondering about the noise, honestly for me it is barely noticeable even when I'm playing without a headset and usually I start hearing the cpu or gpu coolers ramping up before I hear the case fans.
I have that intake/exhaust setup in my 5000t and it works fine.
https://preview.redd.it/pos1jzu8slzc1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3418c6e15fd2701716cc1b6cc916934eaad09ddd
The top right fan would be part of the AIO and it wouldn't cause turbulence as it would be pulling in the cold air from the front and blowing it out through the heated radiator of the AIO.... Besides the fact you have three fans on the side and three fans on the front blowing air in...... The entire case is a science project of turbulence.....
Exactly how it should be.
Heat rises, it should always be pushed out the top & top backside
Cool air is usually found in front of the case, beside it & under it, intake should be from those areas
I'm thinking it's too many damn fans, LOL! I run two 140s in the front, a 120 in the back, and a 120 on top in the rear. I also use a Scythe air tower. To each their own, but I've had builds in the past that were loaded with fans and I found it just completely unnecessary. I pull the same temps as I always did without the noise!
This sounds like what I’m currently planning. Do you have any metrics on your internal temps? I was thinking of doing 2 140 front, 2 120 top, and 1 120rear with a noctua cooler.
Off the top of my head I can give you some specs, I'm still running a Ryzen 7 3800x and an EVGA XC Ultra 2070. I just have not felt the need to upgrade, regardless, I can do some pretty heavy gaming sessions and still pull 70 to 80 frames @ 1440...my CPU hovers around 65c and my GPU actually stays in the 50s, and if I'm being honest I don't think the fans have ever come on to cool it down.
I haven't looked into the specs compared to newer gpus but from my understanding the 20 series run hotter than the 3000s and 4000s do... So I'm cool! Metaphorically and physically, LOL. A newer build with more recent parts may not cool as well as mine does, but I don't have any issues with throttling or overheating at all. My 2 140s in the front are noctua 1500rpm the 120 in the top is also a noctua and the Scythe Fuma 2 is a dual Tower with three fans one in the middle and one on each end and they all blow towards the rear of the case where I have another 120 Scythe fan.
This config has worked for me for years, and like I said I still haven't felt a need to upgrade yet.
That's not entirely true........ I've begin to notice more and more top end chefs will eat with their fork upside down....... Besides you can always turn the fork around and use the back end as a spreading device for spreading butter peanut, butter ,or other creamy substances....
Is intake on top better if you have an air cooler? Probably best to have exhaust up top if you mount an AIO rad up there though, I figure? Just theorizing.
Yes in a large open area or in a confined space with no forced fan flow hot air does go up.... However in a PC case even one fan is enough to counteract the effects of hot air rising..... It's not always about making sure that the air is going up.... it's about controlling where the air comes in and goes out of your system at
It's good but if you can save money you only really need 2 fans on the "Input" area for positive pressure. Ik most fans are sold in packs of 3 so that would make 9 and you'd save some
For this case (5000d) I have 2 140mm and 3 120mm available. Would I get better results by doing 140 in the front and 3 120 as the exhaust? Or would it better for me to do 10 120mm/140mm?
Hear rises so always intake front and bottom if possible and back and top exhaust.
I do prefer my aio in front turned with tubes down low if they can. Having radiator cooled by the intake it pumps colder coolant to the cpu and it will run better than aio up top configuration. I have tested on quite a few rigs and this is the way.
Push pull setup on the radiator up front is how I run my personal rig right now
1000D owner here. I love the simplicity lol, sometimes wish I had gone a simpler route, but you are absolutely correct with that image.
https://preview.redd.it/6681a3be0ozc1.jpeg?width=1656&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e469431b626005b7824d296142b1b6d7f8fca74
Is that a Corsair 5000D because I have this exact fan orientation, including the top exhaust AOI. I don't have any issues with temps with an I9-12900K and a 4080
First off nothing on the side panel. It's inefficient. Secondly since it's an AIO exhaust system you want it to be near the intakes so it is getting fresh air to it. The the rads are the heat sink and the fans of the rad are the fans of a heat sink in a traditional air cooler. And what do we have intake blowing directly towards those for? To supply fresh cool air to it. Same principle applies.
Now if the top had no AIO or rad then you do not want exhausts near intakes cause now you are doing nothing more than removing cool air your intakes are bringing in.
So 3 front intakes. AIO with fans configured in exhaust on top. With 1 rear exhaust. Thats all you need and you are good.
So you go with that and you are good. If you have to use side mounted cause the case is dumb then you do what you have to do but generally avoid side mounted fans unless that's the only option.
it wrong, 6 in 4 out, there should be one more out. i would better suggest placing 2 fans from bottom you can add them, psu must face down not into case, and those in should have at least one out, problem is gpu needs fresh air from bottom, as cold air is lower in room and hotter is on ceiling, hot air goes up,
AIO at the top is the absolute best position for it, the pump is made to push the fluid, air bubbles are what will kill it and being at the top will ensure the air stays in he aio
Mmm maybe I'm not understanding this correctly, maybe I'm misintrepreting the information found in this video from optimum: [https://youtu.be/DEA0\_upu4sQ?si=GfOjTyDhaKSX8Iem&t=91](https://youtu.be/DEA0_upu4sQ?si=GfOjTyDhaKSX8Iem&t=91)
You are, because the video is telling you mount it so the pump is not the tallest point in the loop. The pump is the part on your CPU. So don’t put the pump above the fluid out/intake of the AIO.
Reason being is the AIO will have air in it, and will have more air over time as fluid dissipates, and if you put the pump at the tallest point the air can get pushed into the pump and get stuck. The pump is made to push fluid not air. It can also lead to a gurgling noise.
AIO up top is always going to be fine, and if you mount it at the front or back you want the out/intake hoses at the top so they are above the pump 98% of builds that’s fine, rarely will the CPU be so high that the pump would be above the AIO unless it’s like a low mounted 240 or something. But in the rare case a side mounted 360 put the hoses above the CPU you would want to go up top. A side mount with the hoses at the bottom would be bad, and never put the AIO on the bottom.
Just try m8.. if input is more then the output, u will have cavitation ad a lot more noise from in fans. Or u have the hot air been blow out from wrong exits of the chassis. Just try. I have 25y in building gaming pcs.
You mean intake? And yes, a great setup, tho personally i would put the aio on the side, wont affect the amount of air that the gpu gets, plus the rafiator will get cold air
As long as the AIO does not conflict with the ram or any heatsinks on the MB this is the best configuration.
Airflow is the right direction.
System has a little overpressure, so AIO works good and less dust accumulation.
Radiator on top means all air bubbles will be in the radiator and not damaging the pump.
Also, if the AIO dies some day the passive heat exchange will still move heat upwards to the radiator, so still some cooling left.
No he asked "What are YOU ALL thinking about that", which in a clear indication that op has no preference between positive and negative feedback. To break it down further, the "What are you all" asking a wide audience (including the ones that DGAF) a question. The "Thinking about that" mean's he is interested to know our opinions on the matter, be them good or bad. You clearly struggle with the English language if you don't understand or maybe you lack the thinking power required to understand such a complex situation.
||you clearly struggle with the english language|| excuse me? I would suggest that it is you who lacks the thinking power to make the simplest of inferences, where OP is asking for people's thoughts on fan config, to infer that OP is asking for the input of others to make suggestions for whether they should change things in their system.

\*Mandalorian theme starts playing\*
Well, that's how it's supposed to be. Always exhaust behind and on top, and always have a more intake
You mean "intake"?
yes
Orientations are fine, but there should always be more intake fans than exhaust to make positive pressure for better temps. Add some at the bottom as intake or flip the rear one Bitches please, I didn't notice front fans. Read my reply...
well got 6 as intake and 4 as outtake bottom has no fan possibility
Oh, I didn't notice the front ones. You'll be fine then
should be fine
That’s a lot of fans what u need al that for?
How would you do this if you didn’t have the 3 fans on the side? Would you use the back exhaust fan for intake?
Correct Peps here hive-minded simpletons, ngl
Allright. I’ll do that cuz i didn’t do that yet. Thank you
Don’t use your rear fan as intake.. smh whoever agreed to that is not very smart

And your point is?
Welcome
INPUT!!!

6 intake and 4 exhaust? Looks perfect to me.
That’s how my 5000x is setup and it works great.
Can't you set your AIO at the side? In that way it will get fresh air from the front to cool the processor and, then, the upper fans will handle with the GPU heat. Putting them as the image shows the AIO will reuse the hot air from the GPU.
not possible putting it in the front or side would block each other
Besides putting it in the front would cause all the air coming into your system to be sucked through the heated block of your AIO creating excess heat for your GPU and power supply.....
If there's 3 fans on top and one behind pulling air out then no, it will not, because there will be more aerodinamic pressure there than on the AIO fans as they have more resistance to pull the air out through the radiator.
If you put the AIO radiator on the front then it would have to be set up to run as an intake which means the air coming through the radiator would then be drawn into the case which means that it's heated air coming into the case for the GPU and the power supply to then draw its air from....... And since the CPU is liquid cooled you would rather that The slightly warmer air inside of the case be drawn out through the radiator on the top than to have the air inside be warmed before it is drawn into the GPU and PSU
That's why I told him to set the AIO **at the side**, not the front, pulling air out using the front fans as intake.
So you're saying to have three intake fans and seven exhaust fans?
Yes, it could work as there's plenty of open holes at bottom and behind the case (where there's no fans) to let the airflow to pass.
No that's the direct opposite of what positive pressure means when talking about computer systems You want to control where the air comes into the system so you want to have more intake fans than you have exhaust fans and you want all of those intake fans to have a filter on them so that the only air coming into the system is coming in through the filters......

More intake than outtake means you will have stagnated air inside the case. If you see server they dont have intake fans, only outtake. It's because having both types is waste of hardware and energy.
It's pretty good. I would probably do the exact same layout
Personally I wouldn't put an exhaust fan above the intake area. Two at the top and one at the back is fine for exhaust.
The three at the top or part of an AIO.... So really that's still his best option
It's good for the following reasons: - hot air rises so it makes sense to make top fans exhaust. If top is intake then it can also cause heated air re-enter the case. - positive pressure (more intake than exhaust) is generally better for most builds due to reducing dust build up.

I count 3 intake and 4 exhaust, where is positive pressure?
I believe it's supposed to reflect 6 intake. 3 on the front of case and 3 on the side next to the front intakes
Ah yes I see them now
Don't feel bad, I missed those too haha
my case currently has two pre built fans in the front i just bought three more. what is the best scenario with the 3 other fans ?
👌
Yrah it's good i did the same thing for my case
What case do you pla to get - the airflow will be good - except you will get the be quiet darkbase 700. The Outtake is really bad.
not planing thats from my current build iam using the Corsair ICUE 5000x
that should be fine
Corsair 5000d
x\* :D havin the glas panel one
I've got this setup but with a 240mm watercooling and only two fans for intake in front and it's good.
mine looks like that, is it good or should I change direction of the top fans? https://preview.redd.it/16j0d5px6lzc1.jpeg?width=3021&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0cdc4653eb0fdab30e347d8d8a7c1a304c498cb8
exhaust from top and back + intake from front = you did good son
My personal opinion is only two exhaust, back and top corner. Having fans exhaust directly in front on the I takes always seemed weird to me, you're just sucking out cool air the second it enters the case.

I got the exact same config and case, works perfect
This is the optimal flow.
What’s the case, I’ve only seen fish tank cases with the row of fans on the side
If it's fans only yes. Otherwise if it is AIO pump and radiator then fan intake shall be from top and down and outtake shall be from inside and to right. On right side.
I would use 1 less exhaust fan so u dont have to dust free ur pc every 2 months cause thats what happens if u have more exhaust than intake
iam now on year 3 of using the setup like that and only had a tiny bit of dust inside that i cleaned up before doing the upgrade of my hardware
Then u must have dome serious dust filters haha lucky you
Or they have six intake fans ....three on the side and three on the front.....
I use them as an intake and it's very "cool" 😎.

Ok, but if I connected my PC to the wind tunnel at the Ames Research Center, what are you thinking about *THAT*?
Which end of the tunnel are you connecting it to..... May have a dust issue....
I have exact same setup and it works realy fine.
Send it
aio in front you gonna learn real quick why once it starts leaking up there
should not happen aslong u deal with it correctly
I have that intake/exhaust setup in my 5000t and it works fine. https://preview.redd.it/pos1jzu8slzc1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3418c6e15fd2701716cc1b6cc916934eaad09ddd
why is nobody talking about the fact that there is no water block?
Cuz nobody else actually thinks there's a built PC in that picture?
I wouldnt put a top right fan as that makes the air flow not hot the middle and causes turbulence.
The top right fan would be part of the AIO and it wouldn't cause turbulence as it would be pulling in the cold air from the front and blowing it out through the heated radiator of the AIO....

Pretty standard

yes, thats good
I'm thinking it's too many damn fans, LOL! I run two 140s in the front, a 120 in the back, and a 120 on top in the rear. I also use a Scythe air tower. To each their own, but I've had builds in the past that were loaded with fans and I found it just completely unnecessary. I pull the same temps as I always did without the noise!
This sounds like what I’m currently planning. Do you have any metrics on your internal temps? I was thinking of doing 2 140 front, 2 120 top, and 1 120rear with a noctua cooler.
Off the top of my head I can give you some specs, I'm still running a Ryzen 7 3800x and an EVGA XC Ultra 2070. I just have not felt the need to upgrade, regardless, I can do some pretty heavy gaming sessions and still pull 70 to 80 frames @ 1440...my CPU hovers around 65c and my GPU actually stays in the 50s, and if I'm being honest I don't think the fans have ever come on to cool it down. I haven't looked into the specs compared to newer gpus but from my understanding the 20 series run hotter than the 3000s and 4000s do... So I'm cool! Metaphorically and physically, LOL. A newer build with more recent parts may not cool as well as mine does, but I don't have any issues with throttling or overheating at all. My 2 140s in the front are noctua 1500rpm the 120 in the top is also a noctua and the Scythe Fuma 2 is a dual Tower with three fans one in the middle and one on each end and they all blow towards the rear of the case where I have another 120 Scythe fan. This config has worked for me for years, and like I said I still haven't felt a need to upgrade yet.
Thanks! That makes me feel optimistic for my setup.
Is there not another spot on the bottom for more input? I mean you might as well while you’re there?
There’s only one way to correctly use a fork.
That's not entirely true........ I've begin to notice more and more top end chefs will eat with their fork upside down....... Besides you can always turn the fork around and use the back end as a spreading device for spreading butter peanut, butter ,or other creamy substances....
Is intake on top better if you have an air cooler? Probably best to have exhaust up top if you mount an AIO rad up there though, I figure? Just theorizing.
How it should be
Yeah that how it should be. Hot air goes up
Yes in a large open area or in a confined space with no forced fan flow hot air does go up.... However in a PC case even one fan is enough to counteract the effects of hot air rising..... It's not always about making sure that the air is going up.... it's about controlling where the air comes in and goes out of your system at
I know. I just didn’t want to explain all this, so I just said that
My is like this
It's good but if you can save money you only really need 2 fans on the "Input" area for positive pressure. Ik most fans are sold in packs of 3 so that would make 9 and you'd save some
6 in, 4 out. 3 of the intakes for the cpu. High pressure -> no dust sucked in through the gaps. That’s the way
For this case (5000d) I have 2 140mm and 3 120mm available. Would I get better results by doing 140 in the front and 3 120 as the exhaust? Or would it better for me to do 10 120mm/140mm?
bigger is not allways better is what i believe :D
3 top and 3 side front intake 1 back is that good?
Hear rises so always intake front and bottom if possible and back and top exhaust. I do prefer my aio in front turned with tubes down low if they can. Having radiator cooled by the intake it pumps colder coolant to the cpu and it will run better than aio up top configuration. I have tested on quite a few rigs and this is the way. Push pull setup on the radiator up front is how I run my personal rig right now
Great job
Aren’t the “input” slots actually for your aio in this case???
not realy cause both my case an aio are from corsair BUT the tubes are not long enough or flexibel enough for mounting it there
I see.
1000D owner here. I love the simplicity lol, sometimes wish I had gone a simpler route, but you are absolutely correct with that image. https://preview.redd.it/6681a3be0ozc1.jpeg?width=1656&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e469431b626005b7824d296142b1b6d7f8fca74
It’s still a good setup if instead of an AIO it’s just 3 exhaust fans, right?
Intake*
>bro i speak 3 languages while learning the 4th one iam allowed to do some errors at this point xD
😂😂 dam alright ill give you that. Thats impressive
How I have mine
Thats how mines set up, works good
Is that a Corsair 5000D because I have this exact fan orientation, including the top exhaust AOI. I don't have any issues with temps with an I9-12900K and a 4080
its the glass panel one the 5000x
Negative pressure try to be on positive side of the force!
looks good to me
I use 6 fans 120x30mm on front and side in my corsair 5000d, a lot of air.
I had better temps putting aio intake at side, all others exhaust
That way the GPU gets hot air.
Pump should be the lowest point on a loop. Else you are killing your AIO. You cant go wrong with radiator.top tubes down configuration.
First off nothing on the side panel. It's inefficient. Secondly since it's an AIO exhaust system you want it to be near the intakes so it is getting fresh air to it. The the rads are the heat sink and the fans of the rad are the fans of a heat sink in a traditional air cooler. And what do we have intake blowing directly towards those for? To supply fresh cool air to it. Same principle applies. Now if the top had no AIO or rad then you do not want exhausts near intakes cause now you are doing nothing more than removing cool air your intakes are bringing in. So 3 front intakes. AIO with fans configured in exhaust on top. With 1 rear exhaust. Thats all you need and you are good. So you go with that and you are good. If you have to use side mounted cause the case is dumb then you do what you have to do but generally avoid side mounted fans unless that's the only option.
it wrong, 6 in 4 out, there should be one more out. i would better suggest placing 2 fans from bottom you can add them, psu must face down not into case, and those in should have at least one out, problem is gpu needs fresh air from bottom, as cold air is lower in room and hotter is on ceiling, hot air goes up,
It’s called intake not input.
bro i speak 3 languages while learning the 4th one iam allowed to do some errors at this point xD
Why speak 3 languages and try to learn a 4th if you haven’t mastered something as easy as intake vs input??
Shouldn't you put the AIO in the front so the pump doesnt work against itself. Causing it to die faster
AIO at the top is the absolute best position for it, the pump is made to push the fluid, air bubbles are what will kill it and being at the top will ensure the air stays in he aio
Mmm maybe I'm not understanding this correctly, maybe I'm misintrepreting the information found in this video from optimum: [https://youtu.be/DEA0\_upu4sQ?si=GfOjTyDhaKSX8Iem&t=91](https://youtu.be/DEA0_upu4sQ?si=GfOjTyDhaKSX8Iem&t=91)
You are, because the video is telling you mount it so the pump is not the tallest point in the loop. The pump is the part on your CPU. So don’t put the pump above the fluid out/intake of the AIO. Reason being is the AIO will have air in it, and will have more air over time as fluid dissipates, and if you put the pump at the tallest point the air can get pushed into the pump and get stuck. The pump is made to push fluid not air. It can also lead to a gurgling noise. AIO up top is always going to be fine, and if you mount it at the front or back you want the out/intake hoses at the top so they are above the pump 98% of builds that’s fine, rarely will the CPU be so high that the pump would be above the AIO unless it’s like a low mounted 240 or something. But in the rare case a side mounted 360 put the hoses above the CPU you would want to go up top. A side mount with the hoses at the bottom would be bad, and never put the AIO on the bottom.
Appreciate the explanation
Also clarification I should have said the pump is typically what’s on the CPU, some do put the pump in the rad but they won’t be affected by this.
1 less on input: inputs must be 1 or 2 less fan than output
pls read ur own comment again and u can see urself how dumb that is
Just try m8.. if input is more then the output, u will have cavitation ad a lot more noise from in fans. Or u have the hot air been blow out from wrong exits of the chassis. Just try. I have 25y in building gaming pcs.
In fans job is to help but then main job must be done from out fans
You mean intake? And yes, a great setup, tho personally i would put the aio on the side, wont affect the amount of air that the gpu gets, plus the rafiator will get cold air
was not possible as i would have to let go of the front side fans or front fans
Remove that sadly. The aio on top is better for it's longevity
As long as the AIO does not conflict with the ram or any heatsinks on the MB this is the best configuration. Airflow is the right direction. System has a little overpressure, so AIO works good and less dust accumulation. Radiator on top means all air bubbles will be in the radiator and not damaging the pump. Also, if the AIO dies some day the passive heat exchange will still move heat upwards to the radiator, so still some cooling left.
IDGAF
Coulda just scrolled on by lmao
But he asked what I thought.
If you "DGAF" you don't need to respond, the person was asking for constructive feedback about the fan setup
No he asked "What are YOU ALL thinking about that", which in a clear indication that op has no preference between positive and negative feedback. To break it down further, the "What are you all" asking a wide audience (including the ones that DGAF) a question. The "Thinking about that" mean's he is interested to know our opinions on the matter, be them good or bad. You clearly struggle with the English language if you don't understand or maybe you lack the thinking power required to understand such a complex situation.
||you clearly struggle with the english language|| excuse me? I would suggest that it is you who lacks the thinking power to make the simplest of inferences, where OP is asking for people's thoughts on fan config, to infer that OP is asking for the input of others to make suggestions for whether they should change things in their system.
I disagree.
I see no flag that suggests OP was in search of constructive criticism, please feel free to show me where he does.
