So my new rig contains:
I7 9700K
EVGA 2060 XC Ultra Gaming
MSI MPG Z390 (mobo)
3 Coolermaster Air Fans
1 360mm CPU cooler AiO
Case is a Rosewill Prism S Lite. It has intakes on the bottom of the case and the PSU and Hard drive bay on top of the case.
What I was concerned about, which was brought up by others, is that the Radiator for the CPU cooler being used as an intake on the bottom of the fan will just cause hot air to be blown into the rest of the case. Now it is obvious that if the radiator was blowing out it would not be blowing "hot" air into the case. However my initial train of thought was that if I put the CPU cooler on the bottom of the case then it would be able to pull the coldest air into itself, therefore making it more efficient for the CPU.
Will this actually cause an issue with the rest of the computer where it will cause it to heat up, especially the GPU since it is blowing straight into it?
