Extra Rad worth it?

Hello, please could anyone tell me if putting a rad over the intake fan into my case would be a bad idea?

I currently have a 120.3 rad at the top of my case expelling the air and i used to fit a 120.1 onto the back of the case over to top rear fan expelling air through the rad. I just want to tidy up the case a little though and the only place i can see to fit it into the case would be over the front bottom intake fan.

Im only running a i5 8570k and a 9750 EK FC through the loop so it should keep the water temp pretty low anyway, but i figure if i can get that extra rad in it will keep things even quieter.

My only concern is that the only air coming into the system now will be the 120.1 rad and the HD Bay fan which will both be pumping in warm air.

Cheers again.
 
I think if anything, putting another 120mm rad in there is going to make things more messy.

Why not buy a decent fan controller instead and turn down the fans so you can barely hear them?
 
Yeah i do have a fan controller, i know what ya mean will make things messy and make it hard removing the card and mobo, i guess ill leave it out for now, try it and see if the temps stay low with only 1 rad in.
