Hey guys!

 

Basically I have the Phanteks Eclipse P360X.

Arctic Liquid Freezer 280mm in the front with 2 fans pushing air from the outside through the rad and into the case interior.

 

Then 2 fans on the top and 1  in the back pushing hot hair out.

 

I am planning to buy another 2 fans to put in the back of the rad to do a push pull.

 

I have really good idle temps 30° and good temps under load on csgo 58°.

 

 

Should I change anything?

 

Thanks!

If your temperatures are good, there is no need to change anything?.   You want slight positive pressure and having 3 exhaust fans but 2 fans pulling air through the rad might put you into slight negative.

So what do you suggest?

I suggest getting rid of the hair. It will clog up your fans.  🤣 

 

Seriously though, you realize that having your rad on the front means you're heating up your PC with recirculated heat from the CPU, right?

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

ehhh 😅

 

well, I have no other option.

 

Just thinking that the new additional fans would do a pretty good job no?

They may or may not. I suggest playing around with the configuration of fans to see what nets you the best results.
