Better cooling with water cooler

I noticed that the water cooler gets the best performance by pulling cold air from the outside environment into the case. Never pulling from inside the case to the outside.

 

should alert the user not to install in the wrong way anymore.

 

my setup

Corsair H45 and i7 4790k @4.8GHz all Cores and GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK motherboard

Well, that's quite obvious if you only consider one component per time, as fresh air from outside the case will cool better the component under water cooling.

But when you consider the whole system, we must say that every configuration is a unique case... see this for example:

You can directly jump to 5:45 where a result table is displayed... in some configurations the CPU is fresher, in others the GPU will draw benefits.

 

I'm actually in the third scenario starting from the bottom, but I'm planning to go with the fourth for estethic reasons, as I bought LL120 fans and they are not so beautiful if used with the back side in sight.

Curious to see how much CPU temps will rise...
