120mm radiator fan setup in Suppressor F31 Case (looking for advice)

[azkeaa]

Hello, first post here! Anyways, I just upgraded from my old Antec 1200 case into a new Thermaltake F31 case. I had my friend over to help me and everything turned out nicely, but as neither of us had done anything like this before, I am unsure if the current fan setup is ideal.

Currently, I have:
1x 120mm intake fan in the front of the case
1x 120mm exhaust fan in the back of the case
1x 120mm intake radiator fan, connected to a radiator, attatched to the top of the case
And then there's the PSU and GPU fans of course, but those are fine as it is I think.

My question is, is this an okay setup, and should the radiator fan maybe be an exhaust instead of an intake fan? I haven't had any problems with heat so far (at least speedfan is repporting okay results), but I tried to look this up and I wasn't sure if I had it right.

I was also wondering if it would be advised to maybe move the radiator fan to the front of the case, above the intake fan (as you can see in my image, there is a lot of space). I thought this would maybe help with some noise, but maybe it is a bad idea? Does anyone know if this will negatively impact my CPU temperature?

To sum it up: Does my computer look okay? Should I move the radiator fan to the front of the case? Or should I keep it the way it is, and get another intake fan in the front? Thank you!

In terms of cooling we refer to fan orientation as push and pull or push/pull or either of the two. Push is where you have air being pushed through the radiator space whereas pull is referred to when air is being pulled through the radiator space. If you must have the radiator mounted up top, then you should see better results by having it as an intake with the fans in push or pull and to boost temps/performance have it push/pull.

Heat rises in a case and if the radiator was in exhaust it'd pull in the hot air from within and produce negative returns on your cooling. I would advise you move the radiator setup to the fan mounting position directly above the CPU socket to aid in cooling the VRM location on your motherboard. Looks like there is clearance for that to work out.

You're fine as is 😉

* You could try and have two intake fans at the front, two exhaust fans at the top and the last exhaust point with your Corsair CLC in exhaust. If you're working with what you have, just move the front intake fan to align parallel to the GPU so it's fed cooler air. The last thing I'd ask you to change would be the PSU - might be beefy wattage wise but I wouldn't trust my components with it around.
