I have a i5 4690k and want to put in a hydro series cpu cooler. I was thinking about the h80 but not sure. The problem is I have a 140mm fan in front a 140mm fan on the side and a 120mm exhuast fan. I have no other empty fan spots left in my case. My question is how do I set up the liquid cooler. Do I put it where my exhaust fan is but i think that would cut off my exhuast a lot. And cause positive pressure. Or do I put it outside the case in the back somehow? I don't think the cables are long enough to put outside the case or am i wrong. Or should I just get a new case. the case i have said it had a top fan spot but when I got it there was none. I just don't know how to do the cooling becuase eventually I want to overclock

install it at your exhaust fan slot with the rad fan blowing out of the case.
in that case your have 2x140mm intake and 1x120mm rad exhaust. positive pressure reduce dust buildup provided your intakes are filtered.

yeah but wouldn't that make my case have to much positive pressure. the only exhaust I would have if the fan and radiator and wouldn't that restrict the air leaving the case dramatically. If i had a spot for a top exhaust fan that would be perfect but I don't there is not more spots for fans

most modern cases have ventilation holes and openings almost everywhere - bottom / top / PCI slots so air will always find a way out if there's positive pressure
