Please take a look at my system. The front rad is intake, the back and top rads are exhaust. To the left of the top rad I have another 120mm fan, can I use this fan for intake to feed air to the back rad? Or will it cause problems having exhaust and intake from the top of the case?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

You could, but I would rather turn the rear fan around and use it as an intake. So the warm air moves to the top and out of the case.

You could also put a 120/140mm filter on the back of the case to keep it clean.

first off its perfectly balanced so leave it

secondly why is there tissue paper there..

 

His loop isn't connected, the paper towel is to absorb any left over fluid that may leak out.

The only reason I'm asking is because I'm getting quite a bit of dust in the case even with dust filters. I just watched one of linus' videos about positive and negative pressure and he says it's best to have slight positive pressure. What I have at the minute is more on the negative side.

I think I will just try what I originally said and see what happens. I don't want to have the back rad intaking because I've just bought a nice led sp120, so it will look a bit silly backwards.

@thekeemo I stuck that tube on temporary whilst I flush my loop

I would probably remove the radiator from the front intake as it would blow warmed up air back into the system.
