hey guys!
So I want to the the corsair H100x 240mm and I overclocked my CPU to 5.1Ghz
so I made some exaples for airflow and I want you to say me what's the best Airflow for overclocking
btw I have O.C'ed GPU (so it's have higher temp then a normal one)
so take it in mind....
first example:

***I cant decide where to put the H100x (plz help say where I should put it on the front on on th top of the case...)***

Second example - obviously.

Keep in mind - warm air rises up.
So correct config is this:

simple, radiator goes to the top - with air being exhausted - why would you want to blow warm air into the case?

and you want more fans blowing air into the case than air being exhausted, keep in mind you'll have a GPU exhausting air as well
if radiator has 2 fans, and one fan at the rear, you really need a case with capacity with more fans

Got it, bit let me share my setup then:

Top: radiator, 2 x 140mm fans exhausting air
Rear: 140mm fan exhausting air
Front: 2 x 140mm fans intake
Botton: 140mm fan intake

This is a Fractal R6 without the extende bays setup, so its pretty clear inside the case.

The reason I did the rear as exhaust is because right bellow it its the PSU, and it also exhausts air.

that's the very case i;m going to order in Jan or Feb - looking for a sale price
but you're still going to have a GPU exhausting air - i;m thinking to open the PSU shroud (ie, cutting that perforated grating open to allow easier airflow into the case

I;m also thinking about possibly boring a hole in the left side case cover to mount another fan or two blowing straight at the motherboard's VRM and cooler

Not the prettiest case but it sure does get the job done, plus i need all those 3.5" bay slots

What I did instead was purchase (during black friday) a 1600W Gold PSU for my system that will only consule 455W at maximum. This way not even 50% of the PSU is used, that means less heat is generated. My current PSU the fan runs at minimum speeds.
Plus its future proof if I ever want to add a SLI configuration or any other devices that consumes energy.
I know it might see like a waste of money, but I got an EVGA G2 1600W for 160$ only! That was a great deal
