Hi everyone, first post here.
I'm giving the PC a bit of a refresh, and have bought a H100i cooler, a HX750 PSU, a second 660ti for SLI and a Gigabyte G1 Sniper 3 Z77 MB to go with my existing 3570K at 4.2GHz, and since I've read here that the H100i fans should blow into the case through the radiator I thought I'd rethink my cooling setup.
At the moment I've got a front fan sucking into the case, a bottom fan sucking into the case, and a fan blowing air out the back. Since the H100i will be blowing warm(er) air into the case and towards my GPUs, should I set up a side fan blowing this air out, or sucking cool air into the case and onto the GPUs? I've also read here that the rear fan should be turned around to cool the chipset, but then I'd have the two H100i fans, the rear fan, the bottom fan and the front fan all blowing into the case. Any suggestions? The PC itself is in a permanently aircond room at 20C, so ambient temp isn't a problem. I suspect I'm starting to overthink things here, but it never hurts to ask!
Cheers, SLuggy
