Where to place H100i in a CM Stryker

[jamker93]

I am currently building a gaming setup and was wondering where to put my h100i. I have seen on top and in the front(inside the case). Is there a advantage to either one? Is there a significant temp different if I choose one spot over another? Thanks in advance!

Depends on how to plan to setup your case in terms of the airflow and it being push/pull. There really is not right or wrong way, it just depends on how you want the setup to be, other times its based on space requirements. I'm not familiar with that specific case, but with my Corsair 350D I've seen people mount it on the top or front simply for their overall setup/design and airflow preferences.

The case is big, and I mean BIG. I was surprised when I got it but I can tell I won't have any problem fitting the h100i either way. I do not have any specific way to push or pull as this is my first build but I am doing research and am just trying to find the best way to cool my cpu/gpu.

this might explain things a bit better..ultimately it really doesn't matter that much where you place it ..the push/pull configuration will make a difference tho.
