Log Tophat on Top or Bottom? (Louqe Ghost)

[troyo]

Hello,

I am going for my second build with a Louqe Ghost. This time with an AIO water cooler. I can't decide the location of the tophat.....on the top or the bottom? See image (and tell if it is missing)

Which looks better?

Which performs better?

Unless you have replaced the case feet with taller ones I would go with a top mount, not much airflow on the bottom with the stock feet.

Great observation. What would be a way to calculate how high custom feet should be?

If on carpet way taller!!!! If you own a cat there is no acceptable height. Think about it.

I am using a set of these feet on mine, 15mm and gives a decent amount of room for air.
