AiO radiator fan intake or exhaust?

[andy66]

Hello

It may be a dumb question, but which way have you guys installed your fans on the side radiator? As intake or as exhaust? Which way is the preferred, when using an aircooled GPU (3080 TUF?

Best Regards

Optimum Tech posted a video that found intake on a 240mm radiator was better.

I have the v6.1 with NZXT Kraken X53 AIO with the stock fans set to intake, temps are good.

Thank you @graycat. Currently i'm using them also as intakes, but i found that MB temps are a bit on the warm side. In addition, i've installed a 90mm slim exhaust fan at the back.

I‘m a bit curious as to what temps you guys are getting with the side mounted AIO. I have my currently mounted at the top, also as intake, and GPU as exhaust.

WHat do you mean by you have mounted it at the top?
