Helo, going to build 1st build soon with define r5 and planning to choose dual 120mm radiator cooling, still dont know what brand (any suggestion?) but im thinking corsair h100i.

Which one do you think its better from these?

1. Put radiator on the front with 2 push-pull fan and 1 exhaust at the back.

2. Put radiator on the front with 2 push fan, and 1 exhaust at the back

3. Put radiator on top with 2 pull fan, 2 intake front and 1 exhaust back.

I dont want to sacrifice top vent for silent purpose if can. But is option 1 and 2 enough for the overall case air flow?

The other thing i want to ask, if the fan> radiator> fan on push pull on the front, does it mean the fan is blowing hot air inside the case? is this good?

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.

your airflow should be fine with the radiator in the front. but i would do push and pull fans cause you have a lot of space in the front anyway

right.

 

it is not optimal but i had this Setup once in an Define R4 Case and the difference was not very meaningful, if not non existing.

i did not check the ram or motherboard temperatur, but my Gpu temps were the same with Radiator in top or in front.
