I have a Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 240 my pc case only has one place to put the radiator and fans and that's on the front of the case , so do I want the fans to pull air in or push air out ? There is only one more fan on the back of the case which is pushing air out so I am worried I don't have any fresh intake of air coming in .
water cooling fans intake

case Eclipse P300 , GTX 1070ti , DDR4 3,000MHz 16gb,a md ryzen 1600, ga ab350 gaming 3 , I put them on like this with the radiator facing inside the case to cpu and then the fans facing the other side , so basically it would be blowing air inside though the radiator and in to the case , might do some pictures later today just to see if it ok as I am really not sure what is best .
ahhh yeah, the P300... 240 at the front, then a single 120 at the top and another 120 at the rear
tricky... you fitting an AIO or doing a custom loop?
you can have them sucking in the air over the fan then exhausting through the top and back, it won't make that much of a huge overall difference... or if you're custom looping, you could possibly fit at least another 120 rad at the top to give it that extra bit if needed

I'm fitting AIO, never done anything with water cooling before so I am doing some guess work, but the way I have it sett up now is radiator and fans are on the front pushing cool air in on to the rad and in to the case, for now I only have one exhaust fan pushing warm air out at the back but I will be getting another exhaust fan for the top back . not sure if this is right or should I set the fans with rad to push air out the front -?
@Dazzzer10 you're doing it right, dont change it. i'd see what the temps are like before spending more money on another case fan.
i suspect you won't need it.
3 fans are usually enough for a standard tower

I have got the master cooler on it uses a metal frame and 2 screws each side and clips in the the plastic stands that came on the mob , just wondering how tight should I have the screws ?
@Dazzzer10 do you mean how tight you should tighten the screws that hold the radiator to the case? if so, then enough so it doesn't rattle.
if you mean how tight you should tighten the screws that hold the waterblock to the motherboard - then not very tight. enough so it makes good contact, but not tight enough so it doesnt bend the board/cpu. sorry it's a bit wishy washy, but its hard to describe lol. basically once you feel resistance, just a bit more

just need to make sure I know where to plug everything in to the mob - ga ab350 gaming 3 , not quite sure where to plug the fans and the cable from the pump head ? mob has cpu fan /cpu -opy/ sys_-fan_-pump , I think the pump head goes in the sysfanpum not sure about the two fans@Dazzzer10 do you mean how tight you should tighten the screws that hold the radiator to the case? if so, then enough so it doesn't rattle.
