New fan configuration to feed the Corsair H70 cool air while keeping my rig cool as well.

Added some more fans to the Corsair 600T SE White case, to help air flow in the case, as well as into the Corsair H70.

Did you ever contemplate keeping the rear as intake and top as exhaust while incorporating a shroud that directs your h70 air toward the top? The top exhaust is actually the most efficient means of getting rid of hot air out of an enclosed space. With your setup, you now have hot air heating the radiator more, then using that warm air to lower the temps of hot liquid. Effectiveness drops very quickly in such a configuration. The top intake air first pushes right past the exhaust out the back.

Would you recommend the same fan setup for an air cooled heatsink specificall the Corsair A70?

[FWH937]

@djgibber Look at this two ways. 1. The A70's duel fans will pull cold air from the bottom of the case very well. Then all the warm air will be pushed out the rear by your exhaust fan and top fan. 2. If you change around your top fan to intake cold air you might run into a problem of heat build up around the cpu and top of your chassis. The H70's push/pull setup allows all the air taken from inside the case to be directly exhausted out the rear. The A70 does not, it relies on the rear fan.

hello sir (fwh937) i just have a question for u, because i have a h70 also... but my temps are usually at 87-93 can u help me... and also where and how did u connect your pump on the h70.... and love your case, it looks really good in white!!!

[FWH937]

@iksoorma360 If your temps are that high you have a problem. First make sure that you connected your H70 power lead to the main CPU Fan header on your motherboard. I had it connected to one of my OPT Fan leads once and it did not work as good. Also make sure that you seated the cooler head onto your cpu. You install the mounting bracket half way, insert the H70 and twisting until the cooler head locks into place, then tighten the bracket down locking the cooler onto the CPU.

@Shift4g I ended up doing the same... sure the all the corsair H series of cooler do a good job of cooling the cpu but their particular design seems to leave people with bad airflow and a case full of hot air. Lots of intakes, a push n pull exhaust through the rad and external exhaust gpu's seems to be the answer

[SuperHenmen]

Hey I heard that it was best to have the tubes feed to the bottom of radiator have you tried both ways?

[DJTrololol]

I gotta admit, it was a bitch putting the cooler in. Took me 30 minutes on the cooler alone. I got exactly the same build as you btw.

[sanbvanb1323]

@Shift4g You are absolutely right...

[Coolguyuno1]

I mounted all my hdds hidden on the back panned, I highly recommend it. Its easy with slim ssds.

[doctorjamesy]

the problem that you had with dust...yeah...it was because you didn't have enough intake air

Great video, thumbed up! Nice build. This video's very useful for me.

I just ordered an H80 with a 600T WE, do you think it will fit as well?

What is the fan controller manufacturer pleeze?
