Hi, I was wondering if anyone owned or knows about the Crystal Series 570X.  If so, I was wondering can you put a radiator on top with a fan above and below in a push/pull configuration? I currently have a NZXT Kraken 52 I would like to use in a push/pull setup. Thanks.

Usually push pull setups are only in the front because of space. Some cases can barely fit push because of RAM clearance (The 460x being one of them)

Hi,

 

I have the 570x (got it yesterday) and finished off some of the build today.  I found it completely impossible to mount the H110i on the top of the case and still have room for fans.  For me  the motherboard heat sinks get in the way - Asus Z270F Gaming MB.

 

You can see the heat sink near the top left, next to the CPU power cables - the fans stick out too far to clear it.

I ended up mounting the H110i radiator on the front with 3x HD120 fans pushing fan into radiator + another fan on the top of the case to pull hot air out.

 

Now that I look at the photo, though, I can see the fan on the top is upside down ... oops.

 

The fan at the back is also an HD120 but for the 1080 Sea Hawk, obviously. :)
