Question about Corsair Crystal 570X RGB
I would like to buy this CPU cooler. Now I have a small problem... The Corsair Crystal 570X case I'm going to use for it only has room for 2x120mm fans on the top. Can I also mount this CPU cooler on the front (front where the USB ports are)? there it would be possible to mount 3x120mm fans. The airflow is, according to Corsair, from the 3 fans at the front to the back at the top where the 2x120mm fans would be and at the back where 1x120mm fan is installed. Would this work or does this CPU cooling push the air out? Would the airflow be reduced if I adjust this if possible? Can this be installed aesthetically well? Glad about an answer :) LG ApaXR6
I have been using the enclosure for almost 2 years and have chosen more or less exactly this layout. In my case, however, 2x140 + radiator at the front and 1x120 at the bottom, the 3x120 at the top and one at the back for exhaust air. There should be enough space for a 3x120 in the front and 2x120 in the top - even a thick radiator goes well past the mainboard / GPU. From an airflow point of view, I would advise mounting the front fans in such a way that they transport the fresh air through the radiator into the case where it is then trnaspoered upwards together with the exhaust air from the GPU. This is certainly not quite as elegant as mounting the radiator at the top, since some heated exhaust air already enters the case - but it should still be sufficient for the VRMs and the GPU. If necessary, add another 120mm fan at the bottom front so that some fresh air can flow through from the bottom to the top.
