Hey everyone, I recently just bought my parts for a new PC and I'm having some trouble. I purchased the Corsair Crystal 680x case and the H150i 360mm cooler to go with it. As people have noted in other threads(and what I didn't realize before I ordered it), if you put the 360mm radiator in the front, there is no longer room to put a second top fan towards the front of the case as the radiator lines get in the way.
So my question is, as far as CPU temps and optimal airflow, is it okay to keep using the 360mm radiator on the front and just only put one fan on top as exhaust? Will there be any downsides of having a blank spot on top where you would normally put a second fan?
Or, do you guys think it would be best to return the H150i and get the H115i 280mm cooler for top exhaust? This would certainly look probably look cleaner and actually allow me to populate all of the fan spots. However I've heard that CPU temperatures are noticeably better if you use your AIO cooler as intake instead of exhaust.
What is your opinion? I would like to avoid returning my H150i and ordering a replacement cooler if I can, but I would definitely prefer to have my build have optimal airflow and cooling, and better aesthetics wouldn't hurt.
I'm running an i7-10700k and a GTX 1070 Ti.
