NEED HELP URGENTLY!

[TaroC]

Hello LinusForum, 

I need help urgently. 

 

I have opted for the Phanteks Evolv ATX which support up to an 360 rad with 3x 120mm fans, but I have gone for a 280 rad, with dual 140mm. 

My CPU AIO is an H110i, but I also have an EVGA Hybrid 1080 to install (I'm in the middle of the build right now) and can't seem to figure where to mount the GPU AIO. (CPU AIO would go at the top, I could only imagine). 

 

So either I have the H110i at the top and the Evga AIO in the back, meaning no dedicated exhaust (only on the rads themselves) + the stock 2x 140mm intakes in the front or I could mount the GPU AIO in the front where the intakes are and have a dedicated exhaust. 

 

Right now I may be leaning towards, using the two intakes for the CPU Rad then place two 140mms as exhaust at the top along with the GPU Rad in the back with the 120 exhausting. 

 

Please help me out here, what's the best choice? 

Really confused at this point.

I would try that one out.

I would personally use the Rad fans as exhaust and keep the front fans as intake, this should expell any hot air out, as opposed to pulling hot air in through a rad.

[Bananasplit_00]

i would use GPU AIO as exhaust  

[TaroC]

Though I have already mounted the rad and fans on the retractable mounting bay for the Liquid Cooler..

So you guys are saying stick to the idea of having the GPU Rad mounted in the back as exhaust + 280 rad for the CPU in the top as exhaust and intakes in the front as standard?

This is what I would probably do. The resistance of the rads will probably even out the internal pressure of the case, so you will not have too many issues with negative pressure, and you don't want to be sucking hot air in your case through your rads.
