Radioter, questioning on placement on fan.

[drade]

Ive asked many people before ive asked anyone on this forum find this the best site to ask anyone :toast: , anyways i have the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811125475 case, and i have big water se water cooling for my socket 478..... Now my radaitor is outside the case, mounted with 2 screws covering those 2 80mm fan slots, should i add any fans onto those 2 extra slots of fans? I currently have a side fan blowing air in, one blowing air out by HDD'S, one blowing in under the hdd, kind of an air tunnel set up, but i think if i were to add one or two fans on the back 80 mm slots, that would help push air into the raidtor out through the 120mm fan, just wondering if its a good idea or not, thanks.

hmm... personally i wouldnt put the radiator on the back of the case because thats where the hot air flows out. I would put it on the top of the case or where ever it can fit and is not hot. Do you have a link to your a radiator?

But i got one fan blowing air into the raidiator..... Is that a good idea?

Oh i thought you were talking about a full size watercooling raidiator that you stuck on the back of your case. Well it if you cant fit it inside your case i recommend that you keep it the way you have it if it is doing alright and if it has enough airflow. Take a look at your temps and see if you need to make anymore adjustsments. And yes Its good to have a fan blowing on it like the picture. But see if you can make more airflow to it, that never hurts. I would try to make it like the picture in thermaltakes site. If you can make it fit. http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/2005/watercooling/cl-w0065silentwater/cl-w0065.htm
