I have 3 fans in my case 2 140 mm intake and 1 120mm exhaust fan. I have no other fan spots on my case. I want to put a h80 cpu water cooler in and some people tell me to take out the exhaust fan and put it where the exhaust fan is was at. My question is wouldn't that make to much possitive pressure in my case and would the radiator and fan restrict the exhaust in my case since it would be my only exhaust fan

you have a exhausted fan in the back and the top right? or just the back? either way you can put the radiator on the top of the exaust fan in the back of the case. Thats how i and most people have their set up. I would take a pic for you, but my phone is dead.

no all i have is a exhaust fan on the back the top has no exhaust port and no other place to put an exhaust fan. what you are saying is to put the radiator on top of the exhaust fan and then the radiator fan on top of that so it would be exhaust fan, radiator, radiator fan.

if you have two fans to use as an exhaust. Put one of the fans on first as as an exhaust, then place the radiator on top of that fan, and then take the other one and place that fan as an exhaust on top of the radiator. if you have one fan only, then put the fan on first, and then place the radiator on top.
