So I bought a Corsair Hydro Series H55 liquid cpu cooler. I want to put it into my Corsair 800D Case. My problem is that the case has 3 140mm pre-installed fans(1 located on the back and 2 located near the front), and 3 spaces for 120mm fans in the top. I currently have 2 fans installed up there. I want to install the H55 in the space between the fans in the top. I am not sure if it would be a good idea to have the radiator and fan in the top of the case because of rising heat. I would put it on the back, but it is for a 140mm fan. I feel that the top would be the best option. If I were to put the fan and radiator in the top, should the fan be an intake or an out take?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It should be exhausting for the top, I would put it in a pull setup that way if you want to clean the rad you can access it without removing the fan

The temperatures in your case will be higher then the outside air, depending on how much GPU power you have in there, unfortunately you are pretty limited by the length of AIO cooler lines so you have to either go on the top or rear, you could try something like this on the rear port with a pull system

but I would say just try it on the top first and see if you have any issues

So I will try putting it in the top first. Should it be an intake or exhaust when its in the top? If it does not work well I will buy the fan adapter and but it in the rear port.
