so i am planning on getting an AIO but i would like to know if water coolers contribute to airlfow in the case as i will am still going to have an air cooled GPU. sorry for lack of punctuation my comma key is broken.

They contribute to the airflow of the case yes, but typically to a lesser degree than the other fans in the case.

Of course it also depends on where you are placing the radiator too.

 

Options:

a. Place the radiator on the front of the case and you will be pulling fresh air through it, heating it up and thus brining hot air into the case (into the videocard for example)

b. If you place the radiator on the back/top as exhaust, it will of course pull some warmer air from inside the case outside.

 

a. would mean lower temps on the CPU, higher on the GPU

b. would mean the opposite; lower temps on the GPU, higher on the CPU

Yes the radiator fan contribute to airflow, but it blows out warm air so it's not a good intake material.

Not the M22, its performance sucks.
