5 fan confusion

Go to solution Solved by BetteBalterZen,

If you also have the rear fan as intake, this means most air will be pushed through the radiator of the AIO. So if you have a beafy GPU that outputs a lot of heat, this would maybe result in worse results under GPU heavy workloads than if you're just running cinebench etc. So maybe you're better off overall to keep the rear fan as exhaust as well. Anyhow, it's super fast to swap a fan around, so just test and see 🙂

I’m building my first pc. I have a fractal pop air pc case and it can only have 5 fans. I’m planning on overclocking so I need the most amount of airflow. I was planning on making the front 2 to be intake, same with the rear one. And the top 2 to be exhaust(where I put my aio radiator).
