Question on Cooling "Theory": Rads with intake fans

Go to solution Solved by Enderman,

Intake.

A couple degrees will not damage your GPU.

I'm planning out the cooling setup on a Cooler Master N200 (mini ATX case)

http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mini-tower/n200/

 

The CPU will be cooled by a Corsair H100i, with the radiator mounted in the front. (slim, 240mm, all-in-one liquid cooler)

I plan on filling 5 fan mounts with silent, pressure optimized fans.

 

The question:

 

- Should I just have the hot air exhaust directly to the front (to my possible discomfort)

or

- Should I have the fans as intakes instead? (potentially blowing hot air over the GPU)

 

 

The orientation of the remaining 3 fans will be determined by what the first 2 will be doing on the H100i.

I probably should have mentioned that this is my first time using water cooling, so I was unsure about things like this.

 

Thanks a ton.
