Can i mount top fans if my 120mm radiator is on the rear?

Transcendency · Jan 2, 2017

So i have a corsair h80i in a tesseract case and for it to fit on the rear i have to take out 2 case fans which is one off the top and one off the side panel. Does anyone know of a case that has 2 front fans 1 rear and 1 or 2 top fan mounts? but with the top fans having enough clearance to not interfere with my radiator. Mainly looking for case under $150 AUD or $110 USD Thank you !

There are plenty of cases in Corsair lineup alone that fit your requirements.

Here's one, Carbide 400C,

pcpp: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/FbKhP6/corsair-case-cc9011081ww

It comes with big acrylic window, fan filters on front, bottom and top, PSU bay cover, easy to access case internals, support for 120 or 140mm fans.

This is a beautiful case and i actually love it ! one question though if i have my radiator on the rear with a push pull (dont know if push pull is better then pull) will i be able to mount top 2 fans so i can get better airflow? Thank you so much for the suggestion though

Push-pull is better than push or pull alone.

I see no reason why you can't have top fans with rear mounted rad.

There are plenty of space between rear and top fan mounts, as seen from this example image:

2nd pic too with front mounted 240mm rad in push-pull:

just watched a review on the case ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNPT0zqS5rc ) and he mount his 120mm radiator on the front which looks better honestly and more spaced out but its having the rad on the front of the case bad?

Transcendency :

Not necessarily. With the optimal cooling you're going with (front - intake, top and rear - exhaust), mounting your rad as front intake won't be a bad thing.

Also. here's a good video to watch,
