Hi guys

Looking for advice on my current plan. A little heads up, my current environment is dusty and hot, so I planning to use an aio setup.

Im planning on getting the corsair 400c case and 2 kraken x61
Gonna install both on push intake setup on the front and top with 1 rear exhaust to create a positive pressure.

Will it work?
I understand the slightly hotter air, but a positive environment would make it less dusty imo, and i assume the watercooled cpu and gpu would make it relatively cooler than using only fans.

Love to hear you opinions on this

How well an AIO cooler performs is very dependent on ambient temperature. As your environment is already hot, I don't think an AIO cooler is the best option for you. If I were you, I'd stick with air cooling and concentrate on exhausting as much air out of the case as possible.

When it comes to dust, ideally you want to keep the PC as far away from it as possible, but if that isn't an option, protect it with dust sheets. Don't fit the sheets tightly around the PC; give them some leeway. By concentrating on exhausting and using a sheet, the PC can get rid of the hot air whilst not allowing dusty air to enter in the first place.
