Fan Configuration

[Stoneman]

I'm going to build a new PC and the case is going to have 6 fans 3 of them will be on an AIO I was wondering the best configuration to put them. (Ill add a pic of the case if that helps at all)

Need the model of the case to work out what frontage is like (to determine if fans will be effective up front).

 

Looks like a 4000D, but is it the mesh, or solid front?

 

Anyway, typically people will suggest AIO up top with fans as exhaust, & 3 x front fans as intake.

Best place to put AIO is at the top, this reduces the chance of pump failure and keep the bubbles from making it's way to the pump. But you have to make sure that the RAM and board's VRM heat sinks could clear the AIO.

Most mid tower cases has this top mounted AIO clearance issues, so please check that.
