I have a couple of radiators next to each other, with the fans orientated in opposite directions.

Is this OK? Or do you think it could negatively impact cooling due to lack of air in-between each rad?



Thanks.
 
It's not ideal - where do they draw the air from, is the case side panel meshed or ventilated in that location?

Can you move it to the front top/bottom?

If you look on the left hand side of the picture you can see the case has a very small vented area where air would be drawn from.

The top and bottom are already filled. I could relocate one o the rads to the front but then there'd be no cool/clean air coming into the case. Think it's make a big difference?
 
Yeah it's not ideal
But doesn't mean it won't work
Its plumbed in
One way to find out is try it

Personally I would have done
A cross flow/x flow radiator on top and front
In one end out the other
On both rads
Then to the last rad below the gpu

Have to say
That's the first phanteks enthoo elite
I have seen in here
I have had the primo,luxe,719
Fancied the elite but unfortunately
The price was definitely elite
 
I'd flip the fans on the bottom rad so its an intake. The way you have it now, the bottom two rads are competing for air.
I presume the top rad is exhausting air so why have have air flowing up from the bottom to the top :)
