planing to reloop

[Appelzaadje]

hey guys and girls,

I'm planning to redo my water cooling loop and had some questions about the airflow i should do.

I currently got a 480 rad in the bottom of my Raven R01 pushing air up like it was originally. 

However the loop can still get quite hot so i was wondering whether i should go with a push through

the rad down and a 120 at the top pushing air down over the components then out the bottom vents at the side?

any input is welcome

Could you please do a digram of the before and after airflow?

Air now goes from botom to top i wanna know would it help to change it around i could also flip the PSU around to make it an extra exhaust now its pointed down so the back part of the rad blows exactly against the sollid back part.

well, you generally want to make your rad exhaust, specially if your not doubling the rad space needed for your components.

 

and that case is built for blower style air cooled cards, looks nice though.

 

 

 

since you don't need to access the back of your case for I/O cables you could mount the rad externally at rear of the case. don't know if that's an option for you, but it would lower the temps in you case a ton.

i know maynly did it for looks

but would it help to push out

But would it help u think to push down through the botom

it might but its not like the case has tones of venting at the bottom,  you might just get the rad reusing its own hot air raising temps even more. it does have tons venting at the back and top, since its designed for heat to travel up and out naturally.

you dont think the 2 side vents are enough ?? and also when the psu sucks air from the case in the botom ?
