HELP with COOLING

[Bgmz9000]

I have a nzxt phantom 410 case, currently I am using a hyper 212 evo as my CPU cooler. I have two outtake fans on top, one in the rear. An intake on the bottom, the side, and two in the front.

My issue is that next week I will be getting a corsair h100i liquid cooler for my cpu, and it is suggested that you push air through the radiator. The only way this is possible is if I make my two top fans as intake. to blow across the radiator. However Now I will only have one exhaust fan.

How should I set up the rest of my fans? Should I turn the side one into an outtake? but risk having no cool air on my gpu? or should I have my front fans as outtake? but hot air rises =( Im at a loss for what to do. Any tips for cooling and fan setup would go a long way and be greatly appreciated. Thankyou

Can you rearrange some way to get the fans on the radiator, and to push it out that way?

Not with the nzxt phantom 410 case no =/

Then the only real solution is a new case. But I can recommend some good workarounds.

(1) super powerful exhaust fan.
(2) live with the positive pressure. Stuff doesn't need to be neutral.
(3) Try going with a 120mm Radiator cooler. Maybe a custom loop with rads on back and front.

Any way, keep the side fans as intakes. Remember, the PSU fan is also an exhaust. Number 3 is radical. Try a combo of 1 and 2.

I will give you any more help you want. But I have one request for you when you solve your problem, so don't leave...

My Psu is mounted with the fan down, it is taking in cold air. and exhausting the hot up through the system so I think it counts as an intake. My rear exhaust fan is 120mm and is a pretty decent fan. any recommendations on a superb one? Should I make the fan on the bottom an exhaust? Otherwise Im looking at an intake on the bottom, the side, the front, and 2 on the top. and one exaust in the rear.

Yes, make the bottom exhaust.

Also take a look at scythe gentle typhoon fans. Ultimate power.

Finally take a look at pci exhaust fans. They are blower fans that work like graphics fans

the bottom and side fan are fairly close to each other, if the side is intake and the bottom outtake, will it cancel air out? should I make the side and bottom outtake, (and the rear), and then cool air coming in from the top and front?

On another thought, lets try something radical, my friend has done it before to good results.

Make bottom (PSU) Intake.
Make Rear intake
Make top intake
Make fronts exhaust.

more later, g'night
