Hello,

I am confused as to how to install the fan of Corsair H60.

In the manual, it places the fan's front mounted to the radiator, but in the brochure and Corsair videos shows the back side of the fan that is mounted to the radiator.

Question is,
1. Which one takes air from the outside?
2. Which one would be better?

Mount the radiator to the case, and set the fan as pull. Bring cooler outside air through the radiator. Make sure you have sufficient exhaust fans to remove warm air from the case.

Hello... every case will have different airflow, and where your case sits in your room... one position for a week and monitor the temps, then try the other position and monitor temps, then decide if it made a big difference with your personal computer cooling performance.

I have the H100i set up, with the radiator in the top of my case (Carbide 500R), and the fans mounted inside the case pushing air out of the case. Works great (Max temp so far, under load, is 60C - i7-3770K)

I actually sent this reply to your first thread at 8:40: here it is again.
Kinda up to you, both will work. You will also have to decide whether to set the cooling fan as an intake - blowing or sucking air into the case over the radiator, and yes it will add a little temperature to you case interior - or as an exhaust - moving warm case air over the warmer radiator for cooling. Both will work. I am assuming you are mounting the H60 to the back of the case.
I have a big fan on the top vent of my case for exhaust and have set my H50 (predecessor to the H60) as an intake system and it works great.
Hope this helps.

Does this take the air in or out?

I placed Fan - Radiator - Fan.

I know it sounds stupid, i tried to place my hands near the fans, I can only feel the same "air flow" feeling on either side. So yeah, I don't know if it takes the air from outside or the inside..

Help please.

Thank youuuu
