What Cooler?

Hey all!

I am planning my build, and came across a slight problem. The case im using is the corsair obsidian 350d and I am wondering if I should use the twin frozr 780 or a reference card. The reason im stuck is im wondering if it is a problem in matx builds that this type of cooler would heat up other components because it is expelling the heat into the case. I know this is a problem for some mitx cases but is it a problem for the 350d?

PS: if this is in the wrong section of the forum, im sorry I wasnt sure if it was a "Graphics Cards" topic or a "Cases and Power Supplies" topic, or even a "Upcoming Builds and Planning" topic.

I am a beautiful person who is a good idea to have a good time to time and money to buy a new job and I need some help with the same time for the first time in the middle of the day.

If you have good cooling in your case (a decent amount of airflow) I would get a non-reference card. But if you don't, then I would get a reference card.

As long as you have a nice fan you're probably best off going with the twin frozr. Blower/reference is probably only best if you're doing something like an ITX machine where it's right next to a side panel.

I am using a h100i with two sp120s in the top in a pull configuraton, and two af120s in the front for intake, and one af120 in the back for exhaust. Is this fine?

It will be fine as long as you put all the case fans that fit on the case.
