Strange AIO setup advice!

mathmoooooo

Hello

 

I ordered this PC from PCSpecialist (PCS), built to components I ordered. The configuration of the AIO radiator is one I have not seen before (I am still very new to PC builds/configurations).

 

The case (Coolermaster TD500 Mesh) has built in in-flow fans at the FRONT and PCS have put the AIO radiator (Corsair H115i RGB PRO XT) pressed against that. I have checked that the fans are blowing in the same direction at least but still felt a bit strange to me - because the radiator is now sandwiched between two sets of fans. 

 

Does anyone have experience of this type of config? Is it any good/efficient? I was expecting the radiator to be mounted at the top as an exhaust. As it stands, the fans sandwiching the radiator are so close together, basically stacked.

 

The picture shows the FRONT of the case (apologies of picture orientation is weird).

 

Any advice would so very appreciated by myself, a PC novice!

 

Thank you

That isn't the optimal orientation. You will hear noises at the top of the rad and push-pull won't help with thermals. Either put the radiator or the fans at the top of the case.
