I need input on installing the cooler. I want to place the radiator and fans in the front of my case as intake. I need your opinion on where to place the fans. would I put the fans behind the radiator like install rad first then fans on top of that or fans first then radiator over that.

If you need my pc parts to better help with my cooling this is it:

Fractal Define S
Intel 6700K
16GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX
GTX 1070 FTW
Asus Z170 Deluxe
and Corsair H115i obvs

Thanks

I bought an H80 a couple years ago that came with two fans, one to push, one to pull. Never did use two fans. Currently it's set up in the top rear of my case with one fan...


Idk much about setting up airflow. You have any other suggestions in whats the best cooling set up i can do with my system? What i gathered from different videos and stuff was I'm thinking radiator plus the 2 fans on the front, one fan on the top and back as exhaust. and maybe a another intake fan on the bottom. But i see people putting fans on both sides of the radiator so idk got confused.
 


I bought an H80 a couple years ago that came with two fans, one to push, one to pull. Never did use two fans. Currently it's set up in the top rear of my case with one fan exhausting out of the case while pulling air through the H80. Runs fine.

Do have a couple other fans in the case all controlled by Corsair link. So I've got 2 scythe fans exhausting out the top, two in front, one constant 700 rpm, one in bottom.

With all that at idle all fans runs as low as they can ~700rpm and ramp up with temp. End results idle 40 C, never exceeds 62 C on cpu temp
