Hi everyone.
 
Just got myself a alienware case and im gonna watercool the system.
 
I did a quick sketch of how i would put the fans, so i want to know if theres gonna be a difference in temps.
(I know hot air raises and there was people saying i should do the normal front intake and back exhaust, no help there since i just want to know if theres gonna be a big diference by doing the way i sketched.)
 
Thanks

Convection will work in your favor in this case anyway, since intake air is colder and when it's coming from the top it sinks.

 

Really, as long as air is being replaced in the case effectively, natural airflow is a moot point.

So if I see it correctly the front of the case will be a exhaust fan and rear is intake fan.  That is not proper, also if your going to put liquid cooling on the side blow air out is ok.
