hi.
i have a zalman z11 case
and not sure where to fit my radiator
currently its on the rear of the case blowing air out of the case and ive put the original zalman case fan on the top of the case blowing air out. so i switched them around.
but ive seen on some forums it says its better to have the fans blowing air into the radiator and towards the cpu

i have currently a i7 4790k with a wasser all in one liquid cooler

any suggestions where i could fit the radiator to lower cpu temps slightly

currently getting 35-40 on idle and 75-80 on load

thanks

I would suggest reading through the watercooling sticky linked in my signature below. There is a lot of information discussed.

I'd also recommend Googling and searching YouTube on some of these topics...sometimes pictures (and videos) are worth 1000 words.

I have set up a WC unit for someone. I put 2 fans on the radiator. The one was inside and the Rad and the other fan was outside, so it was:

FAN<RADIATOR<CASE<FAN<CPU
That's how I would setup a WC unit also provides more space in the case and also the air that could "leak" from the radiator after air was blown onto or away from it was minimised.
