So i have seen alot of Phanteks Shift X builds lately. In fact, my own first custom watercooled build will be in this case.
Many people seem to opt for a 240 rad in the front and a 120 rad in the bottom. Our ownNwkrep82 already did a build like this.

However.


Is the introduction of a 120rad in the bottom really beneficial to the overall cooling of the case and does this extra rad not make it a pain to maintain positive pressure? A 280mm rad would in my logic be the option with most "fresh" air in the case. You guys follow? Looking forward to see your answers! Cheers.
