just upgraded got 2 R9 290 Vapor Xs, and I got a Corsair H100i. The GPU part doesn't matter I'm just really pumped about it lol, but anyways the H100i says to install it in an intake formation where the dual 120mm fans are pulling air from the top into my case? I went with there instructions and was just wondering if that would be the appropriate thing to do since I had 2 140mm fans reversed pushing heat out of the case from the top(heat rises, duh).

So I have 2 front intakes, 1 bottom intake, 1 fan in the back pushing air out of the case, and now 2 120s on my H100i as intakes on the top. I also have a 140mm fan on the hard drive cage in front of my GPUs for extra air and the mid hard drive cage is removed. I have the InWin GRone case. I need to know optimal cooling setup, can anyone help me with this?

also I wanted to know the temps my CPU should be sitting at with the H100i equipped.
 
Solution
with a liquid cooling you will have approx... 6 degrees less than with the stock one , at stock cloked cpu
stock = 38 c
liquid = 32 c

but if you do overclocking .....? is where you will see more advantage of the liquid cooling over air cooling
you will have 10 c to 20 c less then air cooling

i hope it can help

if is this your setup , you are fine like that , the hot air should go outside of the case and fresh air need to enter in the case thats it .....thats simple
