Two closed loop liquid coolers, Airflow issues

[eastonboy99]

Hi. I had two closed loop liquid coolers in my PC. One that is for my CPU and another that is for my GPU. In my current case, i have the GPU cooler venting out of the top and the CPU cooler venting out the front. I cant put both in the top since one it a 120 mm radiator and the other is a 140 mm. My question is should I buy a smaller radiator for my CPU so it can mount in the top or should I get an air cooler for my CPU? With this setup, I currently only have 1 intake fan but I hope to change that soon.

Put the cpu cooler at the top and the gpu cooler at the back, both venting out and get a pair of fans on the front as intakes.

If the temps for hdds and everything else is ok then there is no problem here. Look at the linus video "how many case fans do you need". You dont need more than 1 intake and 1 out.

Thanks! The problem with my one intake is that is also at the front with my cpu cooler and I have the coolermaster master case maker 5t so the front panel traps the heat of the cpu cooler which the one intake fan brings right back in. But I will try the Cpu out the top and the gpu out the back
