CORSAIR Crystal 280X Cooling Question

travis.twigg · Sep 18, 2018

Thinking about getting this case for my first build. I want to include a Corsair H100i 240mm radiator. I've read that the top slot isn't ideal due to the lack of space below the glass panel. Is it okay to put the radiator in the front slot? If so, should the fans be above or below the radiator? Should the radiator fans be intake or exhaust?

There is placement of two more fans for the top slot if the radiator is put in front. Should these fans be intake or exhaust?

Also, I was thinking of attaching two 80mm in the rear, although there isn't any brackets for them. Is this a wise decision?

Thanks for your time.

The case is ideal for a 240mm AIO in the front or the top, should fit in the front no issues and I can't really see a problem with the top either. If front then intake for the fans, so in front of the radiator bringing air in and over the radiator....With top fans exhausting...

As to the 80mm, not really sure but not required either as 2 x 120mm fans from the front bring air and you could place another intake on the floor...Oh and either 1 x 120mm or 2 x120mm fans at the top for exhaust..

Hope this helps...
