WC Fan setup

whiteshadow2569 · August 1, 2015

Finally getting around to water cooling my graphics cards. Ive currently got a 2x120 radiator up front as an intake and a single exhaust fan at the back . I'm planning to add a second 2x120 radiator up top.

So here's my question. Should i use it as an intake and keep the rear as exhaust or use the radiator as exhaust and flip the rear fan to be an intake. I don't want them both to be exhausts as im going for an overall positive pressure.

In total I will be cooling my 3770k @4.7 and dual 290's in crossfire.

By the way all my fans are nf-f12's and my case is a CM690 III Mid tower

Please tell me what you guys think would be best.

Thanks in advance.

for the least amount of dust inside your case, both as intake, single exhaust fan. I would also run them both in pull only. That way down the road you can clean the dust off the rad

What kind of voltage are you running through your 3770k to get 4.7 stable? Gonna be a nice and toasty loop thats for sure.
