Radiator In Front Intake?

[Made In Canada]

Usually i would just assume to do this if i did not have enough fans to create positive air pressure if i were to put the radiator as an exhaust, however, i just saw a comment on if that were to bring in hot air into your system.

 

so, does having the radiator in the front intake bring in hot air?

yeah but barely a few degrees hotter, no difference really unless your temps are already 80+ in which case thats too hot anyway

it does heat up the intake air a bit, but airflow is honestly more important than those few degrees your rad will heat up the air.

Alright, otherwise i would have had to go 360mm radiator on the top (exhaust) when my intake would have been 240mm (not to mention the 120mm exhaust fan as well).

 

Thank You for the quick replies.

I have a Coolermaster Nepton 240m as a front intake on a s340, the difference is negligible, just put it wherever ya want
