Hey guys,
I've got a general question about the airflow in the case, not sure exactly what to do. I've never personally used water cooling, and i'm not exactly sure where to put it.
So I've just bought the 780T, and i'm going to be buying a water cooler for my CPU because it's reaching some crazy high temps that i'm really, REALLY, not a fan of. (Idle: 55-60C, Max:70-72C) without overclocking.
I'm currently using the stock fans that come with the 780T, two intake, 1 output. I'm guessing i'll put the water cooling on top, just curious if i should have that as intake, or output. i see a lot of cases where people put the water cooling radiators on the front, and have the intake fans cooling them off. I just don't see why that's a thing, it seems to me that that would just heat the entire computer up. Shouldn't they be put on the top because heat rises?
I'm currently running:
AMD Ryzen 5 1600x (at stock 3600Mhz)
Asus ROG Corsair VI Hero
32gb G.SKILL TridentZ Series DDR4 3200
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (MSI)
I forget the PSU, it's the white/black vampire 1000w gold rated thing lol
Sorry if any of this seems dumb, I've been out of the computer building thing for around 6 years. I'm just wanting some clarity, i'm looking to get this as the water cooler.
Corsair Hydro Series H115i Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler , Black
Thanks for your help everyone, let me know if you need anything else.
