Advice on Front-Mounted AIO Fan Setup in Corsair 4000A

[Roughneck]

Hi all,

I have a question about my new AIO setup.

I just got myself the Thermalright Aqua Elite 360 V3:
Link to AIO on Overclockers

My case is the Corsair 4000A, and I can only fit the 360mm radiator in the front. The AIO came with the fans pre-installed and mounted on the front side of the radiator.

My understanding is that, in this configuration, it will be pulling air over the radiator and into the case. So, I think I have two options:

1. Rotate the fans to pull air from outside the case over the radiator and into the case.
2. Move the fans to the opposite side of the radiator to pull fresh air into the case over the radiator and into the case.

Am I correct in my understanding? Any help or advice would be massively appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi.

Move the fans to the opposite side of the radiator therefore pulling cool air in from the outside and pushing it threw the radiator into the case.

Most aio fans are ment to push air threw a radiator not suck it threw .

Sure GPU temps not increase slightly but nothing to worry about on the other hand you could do reverse airflow by pushing warmer air (heat from your GPU) from inside out the front of the case but I wouldn't bother with that.
