Been here many times first time posting. According to the manual for the corsair H170 i they have the fans drawling through the radiator into the case radiator is mounted at top of case. And the three fans on the front also drawl air into the case one rear exhaust fan. Isn’t that too much incoming air? Should I turn the fans around on the radiator or on the front of the case? This is a new build and it has been many years since I’ve built my last gaming computer. It lasted 14 years so I have no complaints.

Using a top mount allows the fans beneath the radiator to push air upward through the radiator, exiting from the top of the case.

Thank you, I wasn’t sure I was making a mistake. The process is similar to what I know about vehicles, and I find it intriguing that the installation guide contradicts this. Appreciate your time!

If it were placed at the front of the case, it would be accurate.
