this is going to sound weird, but i want to get as many opinions as possible for radiatior placing in the corsair 750D for when i get my rig!

so first of -

im going to want to run a 360mm rad in the top, it wont be the a uber thick rad as ive seen people have troubles fitting a 60mm rad with fans underneath.. this will be pulling air INSIDE the case

in the front, ill remove one of the hard drive bays so i can fit a 280mm in there. this will be pulling air INSIDE the case.

 

now i was just thinking, there are two holes(they look like tubing could fit through them) at the back of the case and by back i dont mean behind the motherboard tray..

i was thinking i could have a 140mm radiator positioned outside the case, and have the fan on the inside pushing air OUTSIDE of the case..

is this a stupid idea?

Just go for the 360/280 combo, don't bother with a 140mm. Also don't put the 360 as a intake, It will mess up air flow.

okay.. you didnt exactly answer the question..

is it a stupid idea? would it be worth it if i wanted better temps?.. keep in mind ill be o/cing an 8350 and a r9 290

A 360 and 280 is more than enough for that. It is a stupid idea to put a 140mm on the back.

adding radiators is fine, but there is a point of return to doing it. plus it does add

another 3-points of failure (rad, 2-connections).

incomplete solder joints. heat cycling can point these out pretty quick.

mainly seeping not gushers. problems with mass-production to meet demands.
