Hi!
I have two different loops in my rig, one for two VGAs, and the other for the CPU. Each one is connected to a 480mm radiator. One radiator is placed at the top, the other on the bottom side. Now, I'm planning to change the radiators position, placing the two in the bottom of the case, as a sandwich, but I'm not sure about the performance...
The first in the sandwich will push hot air in to the second, so I was planning to connect the CPU to the first (because it's the one with lower heat production).
In reality, as the system where before, the radiator on the bottom was already pushing hot air inside the case, that then would be pushed out by the top one... but there are other fans on the case contributing cool air to the interior, that would hep to lower a little bit the air temp...
I don't know if this is going to have a big difference on performance, but in order to avoid drilling and cutting the case, I'd like to hear some arguments first. All opinions are welcome, and thanks in advance!
