LandShark said: Hello @VitorVicente From what I can see in this case, it has room for you to place the rad in the front of the case. I'd recommend puting the rad in the front to get first access to the fresh air, or in the bottom, if you know there will be cool air available to it. i.e., not sitting on carpeting. I'd typically recommend these positions to be intake, while the back and top to be exhaust. I follow the rule the heat rises, so if we intake from the front, we'd want the hot going out the back, and naturaully it will want to rise out the top. To your question about having the radiator or the fans closest to the case. I'd recommend having the fans closest for intake. Though, as you say, there probably won't be a huge difference, allowing the fans to bring in cool air instead of there being a radiator in the way. At least that would be the better option from my understanding.I should mention that fan and radiator placement is not permanent. While I do think that these options would be the best placement for your new setup, If you're not happy with the performance you see, It's your system and you can adjust it to see if you'd get better performance by moving or changing the fans and radiator around. Personally, I think it's enjoyable to tinker with my system to get the best from it, but I know that's not for everyone. Best of luck with getting your new CPU!
