Hello,

I've recently bought a new case MetalliGear Neo Qube. I'm looking to get a 360 AIO and matching fans to kit it out so that it resembles the pics below.




Questions....

1. In this image is the AIO exhausting air out the "side" panel?

2. The bottom 3 fans are intake fans yes? However, this might sound stupid, If the bottom 3 fans are intakes, doesn't the fact that fans go one way, mean I would have to turn the fans up side down to get the airflow going the right way, thus showing the back end frame of the fan and losing visually, some of the RGB? Normally the front of the fans has the good visual of the RGB. Wouldn't the bottom 3 of the fans have to be front of the fan facing down and showing the frame?

3. Are there any fans that look basically the same, no matter which way round you have them, from a visual point of view. I.e. you don't have a gammy looking frame of a fan showing like question #2 above?

4. If there are fans that look the same either way round, what are they and can you recommend an AIO that has the same fans so I can match the whole PC out.

I've got a X570 Aorus Elite MOBO
 
1 side and bottom may be intakes top exhaust
plenty perforations in rear to allow hot air out too
2 and 3 depends on the fans and yes some have leds either side to
allow for push or pull
4 sorry forgot the name right now

Thanks for that.

If the AIO is intake, surely the fans would have to be positioned showing the back of the fan, to have the "pulling in air" direction, ergo, showing the back frame of the fan ? Which is the crux of my query on wanting a fan to not show a gammy looking black frame.
 
Now that's a totally superior picture to the ops
Makes it much easier to see things
Still think there's a argb fan with leds designed for push or pull
Though my memory is useless lately


I used the pics from the Mettaligears website. It's a bit hard to spot them.

Cheers @Space Monkey that's what I was wondering, looks like the back end of the fans are visable for that setup then afterall. Now to get fans and an AIO to match....but what one. Fans are dam expensive now...as are AIO's :/
 
Yep, that was my irk. Having the motor frame showing.

Guess I'll just have to go with it. AIO at the side, with 3 more at the bottom for intake and helping natural heat rising to vent out the top of the case. 6 in total would be sufficient, 3 aio and 3 bottom of the case.
