Question about radiator mounting and airflow

[TheCenturion]

help

I'm wanting to use the Lian Li p80 ATI case. I have my own reasons for using this case.

Ideally, I'd like the rad mounted internally. For this, It'll be mounted to the floor via a radstand. However, obviously due to the side panel design of this case, I can't really cut out holes for the fans to receive air from the side. So the rad would be exporting hot air into the case. If mobo, gpu and cpu are all underwater, then the only heat from the case will be coming from the rad.

Will the air flow from the case fans be enough to stop the heat from the rad heating up the case temp excessively?

Thanks

hello?

I have seen wc rigs with the rad blowing into the case and they had no probelms so as long as you have enough exit fans sucking air out you should be fine with all the major heat producers under water.

I have my rad internally, and blowing into my case. Reason i have it like this is so the Rad gets the best temps i can get as its sucking cooler air in.

I have 3 120 fans extracting, all sub 1000rpm, and my case/mobo temps are not high, if they get abit higher at times due to ambient i just turn the rad fans up abit to get more air into the case.

That rad is only cooling my cpu, so at times when the ambient soars i have to turn my fans up abit but its rare. My mobo/case has never gone over 47c (all fans where 700rpm)

So as you will be cooling cpu/mobo/gpu there will be nothing to worry about, and the rear case fans will be fine.
