Quick question about rad

[skalragg]

Pretty basic question but unsure of the correct answer...

Using Corsair 800D
Since I've been looking at countless numbers of configs...Im a little unsure what the correct way is...

There will be a CPU and 2 GPU's being cooled, hence the two rads.

The double rad sucks cold air from underneath (will be modding case to allow for this ) so the hot air ends up in the main area....

my question relates to the triple fan....(green arrows...which way should they go)
Am I ment to be pulling the hot air thats in the case out past the triple rad , in the process pushing hot air hot air generated by the rad out of the case.... OR am I ment to pull cool air in ...generating a better cooling effect for rad and then use the areas highlighted in yellow to remove all the heat

Thanks

First off the double rad in the bottom isn't gonna generate that much 'hot air' to make much difference to the cooling capacity of the 360 roof rad. Therefore I would always seek to keep the flow of air going in the same direction, that is, have all fans on the 360 exhausting out of the roof.

Airflow across components is key to cooling, so I wouldn't think that sucking air into the case from the bottom compartment and the roof simultaneously is an optimal method of achieving this.

To be honest the 240 rad in the bottom wont make much difference to your temps. Ive said it a thousand times, a quality thick 360 radiator will easily cope with xfire+CPU in a single loop config.

THIS rad is all you'll need

Thanks for the replies

what makes the thermochill 120.3 a far better rad than for example the ek coolstream 360...sorry I'm rather new to WCing

Also which fans would you recommend.

thanks

it's a thicker rad and I think has more fins meaning it has more cooling capability.

Sharkoon silent eagles are good
