Question Does this case have enough airflow?

[chris96993]

Hello, I just ordered parts for my new pc that i will game/stream on. I never tried liquid cooling but is this something I would need to consider with my case?

Also, a friend put together the list and added 2 extra fans, I dont see any room for them so are they suposed to replace the stock ones? Thanks

The H500 doesn't really have the best setup for AIO cooling, better off using a air cooler and adding two fans to the front of the case for intake.

Now you can add a AIO to the front which will help cool the CPU but will dump hot air into the case and may affect performance on the GPU as it is the hotter running part.

This is how my H500 is setup (120mm-Rear as exhaust/140mm-Top as exhaust/2-140mm=Front as Intake/ CM EVO 212 Black RGB as CPU cooler).

Ok so i guess you can put two intake fans on the front so ill be doing that too. Nice color scheme

Thanks! Although I feel like a idiot and have had this RGB setup for just under a month and finally realized my front intake fans were set for exhaust. 🤣

Fixed now! Should get even better temps!
