H110GTX Position

Am thinking of getting an all in one cooler. Corsair H110GTX stands out as best for my needs. With a Corsair 780T case where would be the best placement for the rad? I've seen top mounted pull setups and front mounted pull setups. My question is where would the best position be for this rad and still allow for better incase cooling.

 

Thank you.

You should stick with putting it in the top of the case.

I always prefer to have the cooler in the top, pulling the warm air from the rad straight out of the case, instead of drawing it throughout from the front.

Honestly probably doesn't matter. Use the position that looks best, doesn't interfere with your parts and doesn't go against anything in the manual. (I know some of the older ones at least had to have a certain orientation if they were installed vertically)

Thank you.

the difference in temp between intake and exhaust is only a few degrees so it doesnt matter! I would go with looks :)

If you put it at the front you are basically bringing the hot air over your components because its an intake. If you put it at the top of your case it goes directly out, and you can do passive cooling when doing very little.

It doesnt matter for temps, either way either your CPU will run hotter or your internal components will run hotter

Its not even a few degrees so who cares

 

What matters is that if you put it at the front it is much easier for the microbubbles to accumulate at the top of the rad instead of going around your loop

This means there will be a lot less noise, and if you move your PC and get bubbles back in the loop they will stop making noise fairly quickly
