Fan/ Aio Config

Rayceperales1 · March 1, 2023

I am about to purchase a new 240mm AIO and a new NZXT H5 Flow case. I will have an assortment of 120mm fans. How should I set up and direction my fans and AIO within my new case to maximize airflow? Thank you

depends.. are there fans infront already?. or are you mounting it in the top.. what cpu do you have as will it cool it enough?.

If you have the space i would probably mount it up top .. and fans below blowing air up through it. with front intake fans, the air inside should never heat up much to make it too much of difference.

Top mount radiator set to exhaust (or pull from the front if you can jank it up), both front fans as intake and the rear as exhaust. But dont fuss about it because H5 Flow are not exactly the best airflow oriented case even at its size class and chucking more fans in it helps either way.

I think it will come with 120mm fans in front, but ill take them out and replace with AIO i imagine and put case fans in other positions throughout the case. It just seems strange to put AIO intaking air which will keep all that hair CPU cooled air in the case. I don't think i want my AIO over top of my mobo. But i'm not positive, first AIO to configure in a case for me. help lol Also, i have a 11700KF, upgrading cooler to Enermax Liqmax 3 240mm from cheap Jonsbo CR1000GT ARGB.
