AIO Rad in top or front Question....

[AMB73]

Hey all, running the rig in my sig and just wondered what the general consensus was on the placement of an AIO radiator?

Currently have mine on the front with 4 x 140mm push pull configuration. Other than 1 other 120mm intake case fan in the bottom i have no other intake and am concerned that once the rad heats up a bit its then blowing warm air into my case.

If i place the rad in the top i will then be blowing warm air from the case over the rad...

Not entirely sure which option is better to be honest and would appreciate a little professional input.

Thanks.

Cheers for the input guys.

I have now switched the rad to the top with 2 x 140mm exhaust blowing through the rad, 1 x 120mm rear exhaust and 3 x 120mm intake in the front.

Was initially concerned with the rad in the front as it was blowing warmer air onto my 2080ti, the GPU temps have now decreased which is a good result.

Removing the push pull from the rad has had no effect at all and CPU temps remain the same as before so all in all a fairly positive result.
