Radiator fan mounting

[DanielColato]

so i have the Azza hurrican 2000 and i was thinking of mounting the radiator in the case, and the radiator fans outside the case?

looking at the picture will make you understand why i want to do this. Is it okay to do that? Like having your radiator and fans separated by the case?

It will be fine, but just remember the better the seal between the fans and the radiator the better, that is the flow of air that the fans are creating has anywhere to else go, other than through the radiator will lower the amount of air or static pressure there is to pass through the radiator potentially hindering performance. Looking at that picture though and understanding what you're trying to achieve I see no problems with that approach.

Yeah, it makes it look really clean on the inside although cleaning my fans would be quite annoying

So it'll be okay?
