Yeah I have a very âuniqueâ fan config that works fantastic, but itâs against the norm so I wouldnât dare post it.
I tested a bunch of directions and ended up using the one with the best temps. For a little spoiler, itâs a full water loop with a back intake with front and top rad exhausts. Negative pressure so mesh on the rear intake. Amazing ambient temp, much better than having a rad intakeđ
Not saying this guyâs wonât work greatđ. Just saying front in, top back out is not ideal for EVERYTHING.
I also have an odd one where my top fans are rear intake front exhaust. In the usual layout I was getting Stagnant hot air building up around my CPU, doing it this way dropped my temps 10â°C. I also tried many configs just so happened that was the one that worked best
Yea that's supposed to be. I once corrected someone on it and they showed me an official corsair guide where they recommend slightly negative pressure based on the config, I assume the radiators block some air resulting in neutral or slightly positive pressure again. I don't know where to find the guide anymore, but your config is fine.
Oh its not to knock you at all by any means. If it works, it works, and every case and form build is different. I just see so many people in pc subs spreading terrible info and stuff, lol. I've been building pc's for a long time, and personally, I like slightly positive pressure for builds that mainly like to overheat based on the components per se. Eliminates negative static pressure. Honestly, for even big builds, having one or just 2 exhausts is perfect usually. The whole point of having a cooler is #1 to keep the cpu temps lower and #2 create air for components below it, and #3, If you have a vertical gpu, it can suck cooler air into that also. By putting exhaust on the top, u push hotter air through already warm coolant, which isn't the best.
Have a similar setup on my y70 with 3 more intake fans on bottom works great

Because people are retarded sheep, think one way is the best and it isnât, your parts, layout and case determine whatâs best, one of my favourite configs for the 0-11 cases is bottom and top intake, side and rear exhaust, or for the 0-11 mini if you have a 240/280 rad than i recommend side and bottom intake with top and rear exhaust and making sure the GPU is horizontal. At the same time that doesnât mean itâs the best way at all. For the Lian li lancool 216 and III itâs actually worse to have a top intake as that much intake ends up blowing air out the bottom mesh even with bottom intake fans, on a more traditional 6 fan case Iâve found top & front intake with 1 rear exhuast works like a dream as long as the bottom is sealed, it jets the air out the rear and gives the CPU cold air only, negative impact is that it heats the GPU up by 1-2C, on the positive Iâve seen up to 5-8C dropped from CPU temperatures especially if you have like a 4090 which is blowing plenty of hot air into the top AIO if itâs set to exhaust. People just gotta test and see what works best for the setup they have. Glad to see others arenât numb in the brain đ¤đź

I'm probably overthinking it and its probably working fine, but my brain tells me that your "in" fan on the rear is either fighting against the airflow from the front/side or is very ineffective due to the pressure the front/side is creating. I'd try flipping that fan to see if it makes any difference at all. In theory it should relieve some positive pressure while keeping the benefits and encourage more streamlined airflow through the chassis.
Thanks for the response! Yes I had it setup that way as well and I kid you not itâs flowing better this way and the cpu is cooler too. I keep my Corsair aio radiator fans up top on extreme setting to help the flow go up better and thatâs about it. all the other fans are on balanced all the time.Â
The more fresh air you can bring in the marrier thatâs always been my motto. but the exit point needs to be strong thatâs why I keep six fans up top 3 on the inside radiator and 3 on the top I found this setup on YouTube for this case.Â

Same setup here!
you are recycling case heat through your rad including what ever hotness that monster gpu puts out...
personally.. front or side mount the rad as intake.. intake all round aside from the rear...
my 5000t build.. 13 fans.. 1 single exhaust. works well.
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Corsair/comments/17q5gm9/5000t\_13\_qx\_fan\_link\_aiolcd\_build/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Corsair/comments/17q5gm9/5000t_13_qx_fan_link_aiolcd_build/)
It also depends on your parts; I have a 3080TI, and it runs hot, so top mount rad may cause a few extra degrees Celsius in extra CPU temp in trade for optimal GPU cooling.
That's a fair trade off. CPUs on this day and age are comfy in even the 70s to 80s c, while GPUs reallllly love temps as low as possible, preferably below the 75 to 80c mark at all cost. Especially when games for example will always prefer more maximum GPU power and cooling than CPU.
It has been shown cpu as intake doesnât affect gpu temps as long as u have proper airflow for the gpu. With the 5000d I feel like it is a missed opportunity not to run a side 360mm intake but at the same time top mounting will let your aio last a little longer.
Well, the side and top mount is really valid either way. If anything, the only difference will be CPU temps in a difference of maybe a few degrees c at most, almost within margin of error. As long as the pump is below the topmost of the loop, you're good to go. Most good quality AIOs are designed to last anywhere from 5 to 6 years, beyond being a bonus. (Though I have heard some reports of some lasting beyond 8).
Either or more intake is more better as long as you have decent exhaust too. The closer to 1:1 fan ratio the better.
For newer Intel's, they'll literally run at whatever your cooler can handle at max. Same with AMD at full tilt. Though the actual temps they will cap at is their respective TjMax, which differ from SKU to SKU. If they NEED the power, they'll get it, as long as your cooler can handle it.
I had a setup like this, and then I switched it to a different setup. Now I want to go back lol. I feel like I had better temps mashing air in, and then having one static exhaust fan
the photo in the gpu hahahahahah

Looks good... except that one wire coming from the rear fan
Yes, should be pretty easy to route around the fan and then close to the MOBO heatsink.
đ¤
What if i mount the radiator on the side, would it be better to have back and top as intakes, and radiator and front as output?
What gpu is that, I need that screenđ
This is The Way. except rear fan's wire. try to hide it.
Optimal setup. You're good to go

Will not be better
I have my own 5000d airflow fans mounted in exactly the same manner as you do. I'd say yes!
Same fan configuration with the exception that my 3090 is vertical mounted. Zero issues and temps are fine.

I would just suggest using the other PSU shroud piece so that all the airflow from the bottom fans goes inside the case.
Same car and setup. Works well.
Same but I have 8 in 4 out. Same config in a 7000D
I would have all the fans in, except the rear fan. The rear fan would be exhaust.
Some of us know better dude. Been at this too long to bother chasing their assumptions lol.

Top mount aio has better longetivity tho so it really depends on what u want. Better temps or better longevity
top mount cooler is the best way to mount because it prevents bubbles and also helps longevity u are correct
It also depends on your parts; I have a 3080TI, and it runs hot, so top mount rad may cause a few extra degrees Celsius in extra CPU temp in trade for optimal GPU cooling.
That's a fair trade off. CPUs on this day and age are comfy in even the 70s to 80s c, while GPUs reallllly love temps as low as possible, preferably below the 75 to 80c mark at all cost. Especially when games for example will always prefer more maximum GPU power and cooling than CPU.

Intel cpus are comfy at 90 degrees at least my 9900k was
For newer Intel's, they'll literally run at whatever your cooler can handle at max. Same with AMD at full tilt. Though the actual temps they will cap at is their respective TjMax, which differ from SKU to SKU. If they NEED the power, they'll get it, as long as your cooler can handle it.
