Corsair hydro watercooling position in case

[jameshep2]

Hi

I have a question to ask before building my new system. I have a Corsair H55 watercooling system and i was wondering that does the position of the radiator matter too much? I am building in the Corsair air 540, and i want to place the radiator to the top of the case in a pull config. Would this be okay as ive heard its better to have these coolers positioned as the exaust and not at the top of the case.

Thanks

Yes, you can mount the radiator in the top of the case and set the fan to intake air. It will increase the temperature inside the case a bit for other components but will give you slightly lower temperatures on the cpu since you are pulling in air from outside of the case.
