The front is great for intake fans and a common place for a 120 rad.

Thinking about putting a 240MM radiator in the front, i was wondering is it best to have intake's or exaust's at the top of the case as i plan to put the 2 fans that came with the radiator at the top of the case as i have 2 red led fans that look nice at the front. Ur toughts ?

Placed mine top exhaust with the stock fans that came with the LM 240 on push and then i got 3 x 140mm fans in the bay above it pulling air.

Putting a push pull on the front side could work but the problem there it will exhaust hot air into the case what might cause temp spikes on your GPU.

If I were you I would mount the rad top and exhaust over pushing the hot air in the case before venting it again.

Specs from the website indicate that would not be the case.
Unless you can get a different AIO you could do push pull on a 120 rad.
 
  • Cooling Layout:
    • Front: 2 x 120mm (2 x 120mm LED included)
    • Top: 2 x 120mm
    • Rear: 1 x 120mm (included)
  • Radiator Compatibility:
    • 240mm: Front only
    • 120mm: Front, or Rear
  • Integrated dust filters for front and bottom intakes

I kind of want a 240mm rad, and the only place to have it would be in the front. Is this a good idea as all the hot air from the spu will be but back into the case ?

It is uncommon or ideal but if you have to exhaust with some very high cfm/sp fans on the front and intake on the top.

Will require some more effort fan wise to stream hot air a different way than it would normally go.

So does this mean the 240mm in the radiator is a good idea or not ?
