Hi,

I'm planning to buy an Corsair Carbide 500R case and a watercooling system, probably the Antec Kühler 620. How should my cooling system looks ? I was thinking on removing the 120mm rear exhaust fan and the 200mm side fan and simply put 2x120mm top fan as exhaust.

So:

- 2x 120mm front fans as intake

- Antec Kûhler for the CPU

- 2 x 120mm top fans as exhaust

For the side, I'll probably do a window mod later.

Is that a good setup ?

i have that same set up, 500r and antech kuhler 620 and what i did was put the radiator up top (in the area that is made for a 240mm radiator) with a fan under it pushing the hot air up and out. it works pretty well for me. i wouldnt remove the side/rear fan personallly.
