So I bought a Cooler Master Masterliquid 120 and I'm wondering if I can place the radiator on the front of my nzxt s340 case as intake. Note that the s340 has 2 fans at the back and 2 at the front, so if I place the 120m radiator in the front there will be an unused fanhole in the front. Is this possible and/or good for temps?

I would absolutely play with the idea of putting the radiator in the front, as the top intake. Its your best option for cooling really. Just use the top-front spot. Then put another 120mm case fan in the bottom-front as intake to feed your GPU a little fresh air. Exhaust out the back & top.

Remember, if you put it in the back then the radiator will have air blown through it that has already been warmed up as it has traveled through your case. Front mount radiators are the way to go, unless you're covering the entire front and you're not getting any cool air to your GPU. That's where I'd be careful, but you're OK with just a 120mm radiator.

My take anyway.

Thank you but my actual question was if it was possible to place the 120 radiator in the front as intake while 1 fanhole remains unused (so there's nothing there)
