Here what I have :

case antec eleven hundrend
2 120mm intake fan on the front
1 H80i at the rear (intake)
1 200mm exhaust fan on the top

Is it a good idea to put my H80i as an intake ?

I don't understand how i'm supposed to cool my cpu with hot air coming from my system, and i'm not sure 1 exhaust fan will be enough to have a good air flow in my system. Anyone already did something like that or its just me and having my cpu watercooling system as an exhaust is not a big deal.


sorry if im on the wrong section but it was the closest
and sorry if i look like a 3 years old when i write in english i wrote this fast and english is not my mother tongue


thank you for your help

Given you have good amount of air flow through your case then using it as an exhaust will be perfectly fine, you should be fine using it as an exhaust because you have a nice fan setup for your case. Worst comes to worst you have to re-orientate to cooler as an intake because it got too hot but I find that scenario very unlikely. Generally it isn't the best idea to have an intake at the back of the case because it disrupts the whole air flow of the hot air (from front the back, bottom to top)
