[SOLVED] Do I need to add top exhaust?

[rbissett1999]

I expected the AIO on my new build to be top mounted but it came mounted at the front.
Should I send back and get them to add more exhaust fans or is this configuration sufficient?

What are the observed temperatures when doing your most stressful tasks?


Does everything seem to be in working order?

Looks fine.
Just flip AIO radiator upside down. There will be air bubble trapped in upper part of the radiator.
It may cause additional noise and impede liquid flow to cpu block.

I have yet to test temperatures. I just wanted to make sure it was all setup correctly as I haven’t used an AIO before. I would like to have the best airflow I possibly can. So if sending it back to get more exhausts would help then I’m willing to do so. (I would’ve added more fans when configuring it initially if I knew it was front mounted)

I appreciate all replies and advice

You don't NEED to add top exhaust fans, but it'll help get the gpu exhaust out quicker, since models like that dump their waste heat inside the chassis.
The energy used by the cpu pales in comparison to what that part can use.
Power consumption is also at its highest when it is active.
