Hey,

So on the brochure that comes with it, the radiator meets the outside air first, and the fan second. But on some YouTube videos, its the opposite. What do you think is the best?

It shouldn't make such a large difference. Either side is fine, push/pull (one fan pulling air into the radiator, another expelling it from the other side) would be good too if you can.

 

By the way, nice build you have there :D

Also, which fan direction is the best in your opinion? Is intaking from fresh air better than the opposite? Also for the power supply? Is it best to have the fan facing downwards? By the way I'm using a Phanteks Enthoo Pro case, a Cooler Master Seidon 120v, and an EVGA 750w PSU.

Thanks for answering! I'll put the radiator first, and then I'll put the extra case fan on top, pushing air out.

Where in the case will the cooler be mounted? If in the rear, have the fan blowing air out of the case. Same with the top. As for the PSU, fan down unless it is on a carpet or somewhere else where there will be restricted airflow.

 

Pro tip :P: Press the "Quote" button in the bottom-right of the post you are replying to, and the user will be notified that you are asking them a question.

 

I'll post pics of the build once I've finished :D

Can't wait!
