You would not have good results.

hot air rises, this is the reasoning for putting radiators ontop of your computer so the air rises up and through, resulting in mostly all the heat dissipated from the radiator to be expelled out the top.

butting it on the bottom would restrict airflow to the radiator, The hot air would rise and heat up other components especially the graphics card. it would pump more heat into your system, which is worse for other components.

cold air pulled from bottom and front, hot air pumped out through rear and top

TL;DR
Everything gets hotter and that is bad

what would be better than?

in the top rear?
in the top front?
in the rear?

You want the radiator at the top of your case, blowing outwards towards the top.

The top towards the rear, most cases have slots or holes for mounting radiator specifically

i know my case can fit an h100i but i just have a small 120mm rad.

and thanks for the help! i hope my pc is getting mutch colder

If it's a 120mm the top of the back panel where your IO is also an acceptable/good choice.

It didnt fit in the rear but it fits in the top rear where it now is and i am getting my fx 8350 4.5ghz at 40-60 degrees Celsius!

Glad to hear!

I'm going to save money for a graphics card (RX480 or 1060/1070)

 

[010TheMaster010]

What's your current graphics card?

 

[bjorn_cpu_overclocker]

Just an old quadro fx 3800 that i got from my friend :/ but it van play gta 5 on low 1080p 30fps with mods so it is not that extremely bad

Nice! If you need help choosing a graphics card or anything in the future feel free to ask

Yeah but idk the fx8350 has been know for bottlenecking (and also other fx series) but i personally think (i am going to want dual rx 480 corssfire in combination with 2 1080p ultrawide monitors) the rx 480 is jusr the limit for dual ultrawide (2560x1080p)

I personally have never once had my 8350 bottleneck my build, not even close to it with crossfire 280 sapphire dual-x. Its a very good cpu, I notice its very difficult to reach maximum load on it, I truly have never had that issue, It has always performed great IMO. I also have a very stable 4.20ghz overclock on it. I love my 8350

What resolution are you gaming on? And which games?

What resolution are you gaming on? And which games?

I game 1080p, Multiple games, especially BF1, BF4, both of which are CPU heavy. LoL, Emulators, and web pages/various scripts running simultaneously. Multiple versions of the same games open at the same time while virtualizing another computer and allocating split resources to virtualized.
Edit: Titanfall 1/2, Overwatch, GTA 5, Day Z, Minecraft, Left for dead, Assassins Creed.

Maybe the rx 480 will be the first bottleneck then

rx 480 Will be perfect with a 8350/8320. Everything will work extremely well, just make sure you have a decent motherboard. After that you can even look into OC your chipset to get more performance out of your memory and cpu.
