Question best cooling solution

[jv3731]

hello I have an corsair 460x case and also a corsair h80i v2 120mil radiator cpu cooler... I want to know is it better to use it at the back of the case with push pull and let it exhaust at the back or but the radiator in the front of the front fans? and also what is the best fan config if I have 7 fans for my case (2 for the radiator) and please tell me what position all fans should be placed for best temps ( my room is hot at day time so want the best for what I can do) thanks.

Exhausting air out the back. It's better to do this if you have adequate cooling at the front. There's not really a big temp difference from having the H80i V2 as intake or exhaust. Most likely a 1-2 degree difference.

Okay thank you and should I add the 2 120mil fans on the top as intake or exhaust?

They should be exhaust, as heat rises. Make sure at the front of the case you have a couple intakes. Hope this helps.

Awesome thanks for the help I now know what to do

I just place two big intake fans and keep the case open.

One fan is blowing into the PSU intake and the CPU intake,the other fan is blowing directly into the GPU fans.

Im getting idle GPU temps at 25C,which for R9 390X which is a notoriously hot card is pretty good.

People say open case will build up dust,but I never have problems with it,
