Hey guys,

I want to install two 140mm fans on the bottom of carbide 600c and have few questions to ask.

1. Does air have to come in or come out on the bottom fan...

2. I have Foxconn H61MX v.2 and Can I install and power two more led fans on the bottom? (Do I connect to USB connector on the motherboard?)

3. If I want to get water cooling like this one (http://www.corsair.com/en/hydro-series-h115i-280mm-extreme-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler), will it be future proof (like if I want to change the motherboard and cpu, will this be compatible for any kinds of types or do I have to get the certain model?)

Thanks for your help guys!

1) If you have your case on the floor install the fans to blow air out for sure... If its on the desk it can go either way, just make sure that the airflof ratio is even.
2) No you can only connect to the fan pins... If you don't have any available you can buy a cheap fan splitter or a fan controller, so you can connect like 5 more fans to it.
3) Watercooling manufactors usually make the sockets compatible so it's compatible with 2011, 2011-3, 1155, 1150, 1151 and all the other AMD sockets and more... So there's no need to worry

Thx for the answer. Doesnt air haveto come in from the bottom since its going to be cool air? Can you explain?

And if i install the water cooling do i connect the rad directly to psu?

If it's on the floor I'd rather no because it will pick up a lot of the dust, but if you have dust filter that won't be a problem.
The rad or rather the pump is connected to either motherboard or the psu. But for psu you would have to buy molex to 3 or 4 pin adapter
