jesuadr Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 like tittle says i would put fan in position that taking cool air from inside the chasis or from outside of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Presumably you are going to rear mount the H80i. If not, specify where. Most people are going to be better off using the fans to exhaust air out the back. This is the natural design of most cases. Any 1-3C advantage by using external air is usually nullified after 5 minutes as the heat build up in the chassis. This in turn heats the water and you loose your advantage. Also, if you have the tower pushed back toward a wall, that column of air will be much warmer than anything else in the room. This is not what you want for intake air. If you have the option to dump waste heat directly out of the case, take it. The only downside is your CPU temps might be slightly warmer during gaming or GPU load. This would be true as intake or exhaust and is a consequence of the rear mount position above the GPU. It's just something to be aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesuadr Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 i have it mounted on top of the case and with one fan taking air from outside and expelling the hot air inside the case So I understand you told me this way is wrong right?

c-attack Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Not wrong, put potentially disadvantageous. We really would need your case, CPU model, voltage settings, and intended use to make a specific recommendation. However, chances are you want to flip it around to exhaust out the top.
