The coolant absorbs the heat, the radiator provides an increased surface area for the liquid to be cooled by air flow. In my new rig I had to front mount my rad for an intake. I have a top mounted radiator, XSPC RX360, and will have push pull fans. This is the role of intake and exhaust fans. CPU temperatures were predictably lower when the radiator was placed in the path of unwarmed in-flowing air, while GPU temperatures were lower when inflowing air was not warmed by the CPU. (Optional) An additional, bottom-mounted intake fan to pull cool air from the underside (the case must be mounted on wheels or blocks). I have 5 filtered intakes and three exhausts not including the PSU which is a separate air path, though its intake is also filtered. The real advantage with the vertical GPU mount is the opening up of all that space at the bottom for a really thick radiator with fans. A skilled fabricator, Smith built an air intake for the radiator, and mounted it at the bottom of the front bumper fascia, above the splitter. It's located at the bottom facing down. The front only has room for the 1x200mm fan at the bottom. If you have you bottom rad as intake sucking fresh air from the outside, you might want to get some taller replacement feet as well. My question is, is it better to have them set for exhaust or intake? my three exhausts are my top mounted 360mm rad. That's my problem because using it on top is the only option for this case. This is plenty of exhaust power and won't need much speed. Without a lot of detail -- and someone inquired for me to produce pictures which I'll do eventually -- I'd built a huge case back in '07 with dual-140 bottom intake fans and plenty of room for a radiator with dual front-panel 120's. Short answer is yes. The heated air is removed and the cycle continues. The way mine is installed the hose crosses at the bottom and lays on the 'floor' out of the way. I think the way I have my fans set up my GPU is slightly cooler. I was watching some youtubers put the radiator in front and have it serve as an intake instead of exhaust. It also pushes the VRM + RAM heat away from the radiator and then out versus the inevitable warming effect when top exhaust. 28 Apr 2020 at 15:50 #11. I thought that Gary Anderson's installation was too untidy looking with the hose crossing in front of the engine. This is a single fan GTX 960. In my old setup I had a 360 rad up top and a 240 rad on the bottom both as intake for positive pressure because I hate dust. Bitwit did a good video on this here on why placement matters. Push or pull makes no difference for the radiator. Have a Corsair H110i AIO cooler which will go in the bottom. My CPU runs 30-40 degrees with it this way depending on load, but I have noticed that it greatly helps my GPU stay much cooler. I've been told that if you front mount an AIO that the radiator should be positioned so the hoses/tubes are coming from the bottom and not the top as... Log in or Sign up. Hi, Ive bought a NZXT kraken x63 and I have a Corsair Carbide Series 275Q chassis and Gigabyte Aorus Master X570 motherboard (links to specs are at the bottom). 2--Using the rear and top fans as intake and radiator will be exhaust to the front of the case. if i were to add a 240/280mm front rad I would keep them as intakes even though this would warm the air as it entered the case. You have to move the heated air out of the case. I have a NZXT H500 case, it has 1exhaust on the back and 1 on the top aswell and i have a NZXT kraken x62 for cpu liquid cooling and the radiator is mounted at the front with 2 intake fans. After much extensive testing on UTube (Jay's Two Cents & Linus Tech Tips are 2 good channels to watch) It really does not matter. I have an HAF 932 Advanced case, 230mm intake on front and side, and 140mm exhaust on rear. So i will have a 900D, with 3 AF120 performance as intake, a single AF140 quiet as exhaust in the rear. If you had an AIO radiator mounted on top of the case, would you: Draw outside air through the radiator and into the case at an increased temperature as intake with other fans as exhaust or Draw cold air through other fans into the case then have slightly warmer air pass through the radiator and out as an exhaust Works well. Cs342, I suggest you turn the side fan to exhaust, add a rear fan to exhaust. So, if you want optimal overall temps, you should give your radiator fresh air. Do not intake into the case, that's adding temperature to the ambient case temps and defeats the purpose of water cooling. Unfortunately, that effect is small and will only last a few minutes with a top mount radiator as intake. Does it exhaust the air out the back, or does air escape into the case from the sides of the heat Sink? Last edited by 1096bimu on Mon Jul 29, 2019 2:34 pm With smooth contours in the duct work, the air clings to and is directed by the surfaces rather than tumble off it and create a vortex that hampers good air flow. The rear exhaust fan will receive the front intake from the radiator and exhaust its slightly warmed air, leaving the GPU to intake from the lower front fan. Top mounted you could run top/bottom intake, front/rear exhaust. There is no catch 22. The key, therefore, is to add fans that either get rid of this ambient heat or bring in fresh, cooler air to be used. The internal case temperature goes up as you dump CPU waste heat in and the H115i water temperature (and everything else) will be warmer than if you exhausted it directly. what screw length do i need for a pull intake (or push exhuast). Overclockers UK Forums. 1--Using the radiator as intake, which will take cool air from the outside (needed for this cpu running hot) , blow it hot into the case and use the top and rear fans as exhaust. But I … I have a 200mm intake fan and a bottom mounted 120mm intake fan on bottom, with two 120mm fans on the liquid cooler exhaust to the top and one 120mm fan exhausting to the back. Heat rises, so its best on the front or side as intake. if i did that with my current screws they would pierce my rad fins. Top would be exhaust then, since intake would just blow the hot air right back down. The ebay listed radiator that I posted has intake and outlet in the perfect position for the Elan. As for their differences, it’s very simple: Intake fans brings fresh air into the PC, while exhaust fans kick stagnant air out. Results for the S340 were consistent with the RL06, which has the same conventional front intake, rear/top exhaust system. Exhausting air form inside the case through a radiator may give you a few degrees higher CPU temp in games because GPU makes a lot of hot air. If you do mount it on top then exhaust is better but not for cooling reasons but so it does not suck in so much dust. That works -- if you put your case on 3" double-braked-caster wheels as I did. 2 front and 1 back. Buy Rosewill PRISM T ATX Mid Tower Gaming PC Computer Case with Tempered Glass, 4 Pre-Installed 120mm Fans, 420mm / 360mm / 240mm Radiator Support, EATX Support, Bottom Mount PSU Shroud and HDD / SSD with fast shipping and … I assume it is in taking air from the PCIE slots at the bottom rear of the PC or from within the case or from small holes in the case. Could easily take out 550W from my two radiators without heating up the case. I have two intake case fans blowing on the drive bays, one at the bottom of the case and one under the power supply (both intakes), and one at the back of the case as exhaust. meaning, i want to mount the rad to the case, and the fan to the rad. My inlet fan at the bottom blows in nice cool air for the video card, RAM and motherboard VRMs and the heat goes out the rear exhaust fan as well as out of the radiator on top. Two stock 140 mm fans intake in the front and a stock 140 mm fan in the back for the moment, will stick some pretty ones in later, and I guess the top mount PSU (SeaSonic 650 Plus Focus) will exhaust a little too. But, where does it exhaust the hot air? Using radiator as intake on the other hand hardly effects GPU temps in game. i want to screw my rad to my case, directly. As always, comment below or … Going over my plans for the H220 and why a radiator as an intake isnt the end of the world. Currently, the 140 mm fan in the back of the PC would remain as exhaust, and I was thinking about mounting the two 140 mm front intake fans on the bottom of the case to intake air from underneath the case while using the two 120 mm fans included with the cooler as exhaust through the front. Unless I'm wrong. the screws i have are long, they are meant to go through the fan and case into the rad. I have it as an exhaust with 3 intake fans. Mostly depends on a few things but for me when I had a top mounted radiator I had it set in a pull configuration exhausting air out. Almost all the modern-day standard ATX power supplies come with a 120mm fan that is mounted on the top/bottom side. My current setup has a front mounted radiator as an exhaust and one 120mm fan in the back as intake and two 120mm fans on top as intake. This fan works as an intake fan for the PSU that sucks in air and blows it on the components inside the PSU, where then it exits from the rear vents of the power supply. ... Few degrees difference from intake on cpu temps but does get more warm air Out the case Trust. In my case, right now running two rads(360mm and 240mm), bottom rad is 240mm which is set as intake and top radiator is set as exhaust, temps are lot better than previously I've tried set top rad as intake, this has only heated interior of the case and my interior temps went up by 6-8°C and water started to raise in alarming rate The build I'm working on right now has a bottom mounted radiator with exhaust out the bottom. So my question is, should i flip the top fan to be an intake and leave the one on the back as an exhaust? Basically one of those things where it's just personal preference. Plus it's got no radiator mount for exhaust, you'll have to mount the radiator at the intake, making this design pointless.
