I'm building my first ever computer, and i have a question about installing the AIO. Its kinda hard to explain but i've seen on youtube that some people have their AIO fans inwards, so you can see them inside the pc. Meanwhile other people have the fans the opposite way.  

 

Ill have some images underneath. My question is which way should i mount them?

Thermally there's no difference. Air blowing in is all that matters.

 

As for cleaning, fans pushing air through the radiator builds dust between the fans and the rad, while fans pulling through yields a much easier to clean configuration.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

It doesn't matter which side of the rad the fans are on.

What matters is the direction they are blowing.

If your rad is at the front the fans should be intake.

Do some research on positive and negative case airflow.

I saw Bitwit's video about AIO positions, and i think i have decided
