Question What is the best 120mm aio orientation

[brandonscott4]

Ok so I have a 120mm aio and I was wondering what it the best orientation for the best cpu temps. I know that pulling in fresh air from outside the case lowers cpu temps but I only have the option to intake from the rear or the top so would one of those options be viable? Also could I have a push pull config even tho the case fan is rated at a lower rpm than the default aio one.

What CPU is this for?

since your airflow is atm limited, than ull have to try it few times to see how it affects your temperatures, btw u should never intake from rear, push air through radiator outside

Just have it as an exhaust a 1200 doesn’t need much cooling

So should I have it as exhaust at the top or the rear

Doesn’t really matter either would be fine
