Hi, I will be building a new computer with a liquid CPU cooler.

The case I will be using is the Phanteks Eclipse p400s tempered glass. It comes with 2 case fans, so my question is, do I use both those as the exhaust fans and my liquid cpu coolers radiator (nzxt kraken x62) with 2 fans as the intake? Or do i need to purchase more case fans?

Thanks

You can mount the radiator to the front if you would like. A lot of people usually mount them to the front because they don't have enough room for RAM clearance or they simply just like the looks of it.

Why am I seeing all the YouTube videos and completed builds on PC part picker, with the Liquid Radiator mounted at the front of the case?

Case really doesn't have the clearance for top mounted rad. I'm currently struggling to get my p400s to keep cool; but I think the case is just a hot box. Even Gamer's Nexus reviewed it as such.
