Im thinking of getting the Corsair Hydro H90 but the case is quite big.

The fan will replace the 140mm exhaust at the back (so 140mm for 140mm), since this doesn't add any extra fans will I have problems with cooling?

How will the H80i do with it's push pull configuration?


Thanks

Well you have 3 120mm fans in the front and a 120mm fan in the rear. Move the fan to the top and place the radiator on the rear. It 'll do fine in push-pull, though this depends on your CPU and overclocking settings.

Would it be better to just use a H100i (not the H80i) up top exhausting?

I heard this isn't the best set up though...

It's fine. Just be careful to not use thick fans or clearance will be an issue.

I actually can get the H100i for not much more (negligible difference in cost), would this config be preferred?
