What would happen if i mounted the radiator at the front of the case?

It would be mounted at the front of the case

It would affect the air flow a bit but it would work fine. In fact it's encouraged in the define s.

Nothing

Oh ok, so will it affect hear inside the case a lot if i have watercooled GPUs and the like?

[C0LL0SS0S]

its perfectly fine, I even think its the best spot in most mid tower cases, because the top sometimes has issues with clearance

I asked the same question and surprisingly I got responses that mounting it as exhaust helps ambient temps in the case, since mounting at the front means a bit warmer air gets in from the radiator.

Not a problem really it will allow you to get the coldest possible air for maximum peforamnce but has the effect of heating up the interior of the case compared to exhausting out the top where it take he heat out the case immediately.

you'll be fine

If you're concerned about not having adequate airflow in from the front of your case, there are brackets you can buy that will convert 3x5.25" drive bays into a 120mm fan mount, or 2x5.25" drive bays into an 80mm fan mount. There might also be a bracket to convert 2x5.25" bays for mounting 2x60mm fans, but I've yet to find one and have considered making one custom for a 2U server. In my build and my wife's build, I use a 3x5.25" bay bracket to have fresh air coming in for the top radiator.
