And there is the eternal question...Well the idea was for the radiator's fans to pull in cool air from the top of the case. same as the fans would be pulling in air from the front of the case.
Well the idea was for the radiator's fans to pull in cool air from the top of the case. same as the fans would be pulling in air from the front of the case.The purpose of all those fans and radiators is to move air through the case. Not just blow it around inside.
Why have the top mount rad as intake?
Cool air in...warm air out.

Oh I see. What about the radiator as front intake with the ll120 fans acting as exhaust. Two on top and one at the back of the case?And there is the eternal question...
Rad as intake or exhaust.
As top intake, you're bringing cool air across the rad. However, you're pushing that warmed air into the case.
As top exhaust, you're blowing marginally warmer air through the rad but also sucking all that outside the case.
As inferred above, you want a mostly balanced airflow.
Sure.

Okay thank you very muchSure.
In the front, out the back/top.
But the rad as top exhaust is also no problem. My Cryorig A80 is like that.
I have a Lian li 550x with a front mounted 420mm radiator(Eisbaer 420) with 3 SP140rgb fans attached as intake, 3 more SP140rgbs on the top as exhaust and 1 120mm bora fan as a rear exhaust.
