H100i Mounting Positions

VicciVicVic · February 5, 2017

I just bought an H100i from Corsair and was wondering what the optimal way is to mount the fans and radiator. I don't have space anywhere but the top, so I was wondering whether the fans shouold be mounted on the case blowing air away from or on to the radiator or if the radiator should be mounted on the case with the fans blowing air away from or on to the radiator.

Doesn't really make much of a difference just do what is easier for you. Just make sure that the fans are pushing the air thru the rad out of the case or pulling air thru and rad an out of the case.

fans on case pulling air through the radiator exhausting out the top of the case (don't pull air in from the top, heat rises so pushing air down is pushing the hot air BACK into the case) would be the ideal, the fans could be on the otherside of the rad pushing air through it but dust build up is easier to clear when the fans are on the other side.
