Hi guys,

 

I'm thinking of getting a liquid CPU cooler, and I have the mounting position at the top of my case. My question is, how do I maintain positive pressure when I have 1x140 and 1x120 intake, 1x120 exhaust and then another 2x120/140 exhaust with the radiator?

 

Cheers

My suggestion is pointless without a top dust filter.

I would try installing the radiator fans different from each other (since I have top dust filter) just for the heck of it, and since I'm such an experimenting kinda guy :D

The frontmost fan as intake, and the one at the back as exhaust, while making sure to install the fans on top, so the air that gets pushed through the fins won't force the hot air back down onto the gpu.

This might not bring the best possible performance, and the intake on the top of the case could still mess up the airflow of the gpu, causing it to overheat, but I'd give it a go anyways, if I had an AIO or sg like that :P
