Hi guys,
Can anyone give me some advice on setting up the fans in this H510i case:

MSI 450i Gaming Plus mobo
AMD 3900X with Scythe SCMG-5100 Mugen 5 Rev.B CPU Cooler
1080TI with Kraken G12 with X52 AIO Water Cooling Unit 240mm (2x120mm fans)
NXZT H510i case

The case has 1 rear and 1 top mounted exhaust fans, I cannot use the rear one as it fouls the CPU cooler so had to remove it. There seems to be only around 20mm space there, maybe could fit a slim one.
I have the left top exhaust fan there as it just about fits.

Now the GPU/Kraken: Which way should the radiator fans be facing? pulling air onto the radiator into the case or how it is now?

Excuse the cables they will get sorted out once I know what i'm doing :D

Hey man, you ideally want to pull air into the case through your radiator - the tubes at the bottom is perfect; just make sure the fans are pulling air into the system :) you can leave your other fans as exhaust :)
 
Thanks, they seem to pulling air in but cannot seem to control the fans with MSI Afterburer or CAM software. Idle GPU temp is about low 30c, gaming around 55-65c but they don't seem to ramp up.
 
Are the fans plugged into a header on your motherboard? It may be in the BIOS to control it rather than the software, not something I have first hand experience with however
 
I put a Nochua NF-A12 15mm PWM at the back but it's noisier than the top Arctic P12 I have in there, has a weight winey noise to it.

If I add the PWM fan controller in there should they all be running from the single System header on the board or split between the CPU where the GPU NXZT is connected?
