i would mount it at the back because otherwise arent you just sucking in cold air only to instantly heat it up a bit? it makes more sense to me to have it at the rear and motherboard VRM cooling is usiually fine tbh

Hey guys,

 

I'll be picking up an NZXT S340 case soon, and after having watched some reviews on YouTube, I realized that my cooler, the Arctic Liquid freezer 120 might not fit in the front of the case, which is where I would like to mount it. Can you guys please inform me if it will fit in the front of the case, if not, where else could I mount it. I I put it in the rear of the case, it will cover up my motherboard and I don't know if that'd good for proper cooling of the VRMs. So, where should I mount my cooler in the S340?

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.
