Fan setup in a 700D

[Freddie589]

Right just a few more things through the post then I am good to go with my watercooling!! Now I know how to mount my rad at the top of my case but was wondering what would be the best fan setup? I have herd that the fans pushing air down through the rad is the way to go. So that's fine but why blow all of the hot air into the case? The only outtakes I have in my case are the stock 140mm rear and bottom fan. Rad is a HW labs black ice 360 sr-1 and I will be using sythe 1800rpm fans.

Thanks
Freddie

yeah been reading the same but i think its stupid having hot air (and there is loads from a 120.3 rad!!!) blowing into the case all over your expensive components!. Plus with air coming in that would only leave one 120mm to get rid of the hot air.

I'm using both the fans at the bottom as intake, along with the rear case fan as intake - with three fans on my rad blowing air straight out of the top.

My recommendation is to use it as per standard setup but ensure you get a really good rad (Black Ice / Thermochill / XSPC etc) - as it will give great temps anyway - you've got tons of space at the top of the case for a thick rad some might aswell use it!

Gonna be running my 120.4 rad in the roof of my LittleDevil PC-V8 as an exhaust, heat rises so why fight it lol ? and if u are cooling the cpu and gpu the air in the case won't really be warm anyway so it's not like it will be pulling hot air into the rad.
