Hey guys, just got a new Corsair 400c case, which i love for the minimalistic design.
My only confusion was where to put the radiator, it seems like the Corsair designers wants you to put in at the front as exhaust, but it seemd wierd to me that it will push hot air out and below it there's a fan that pulls air in. so i thought i will put it on top, the temps are good so far, but do you have any suggestions for changing the place? i know my cable managment isnt perfect.

Thanks!

usually with a 120mm i put it on top or at the rear

and no reason it cant draw air inwards especially if you have a case with decent airflow

means cooler air through the radiator though bit more heat inside the case but shouldnt be a worry with decent airflow
