Best fan placement and radiator

[Awomen]

Hi, i have 3 fans and a 240 mm AIO with 2 fans liquid cooler. My case is the Corsair spec 05 and i think it has 2/3 front fans, 2 top fans, and 1 at the back. I was wondering where is the best placement for them, but since all my fans is rgb, i want it so that all the rgb fans are visible from the glass panel. So i don’t want to put the radiator in the front while facing outwards. Is there any suggestion on the placements while having good airflow? Thanks

Place in front with fans in pull or top in push. If your case allow for this. Arrows show airflow direction. Pull will give you better cpu temps and slighty higher gpu temps. While push will give you slighty higher cpu temps but better gpu temps.

One thing you should consider is; Intel suggests that you use an air cooler that pushes air down towards the CPU and MB.

The cooler you are using only cools the CPU and neglects the voltage regulators that feed the CPU.

 

An example of a proper cooler based on Intel's TAC 2.0 spec. would be the Noctua NH-L9x65

I’m actually using amd, the ryzen 7 3700x, thanks for the suggestion! I kind of get the bigger picture here. Thanks!

Nobody cares about airflow anymore unfortunately. They only care about looks, silence, and no dust, while retaining their high performance.. and then come back asking why their system is so hot
