Which should be intake or exhaust for your radiator?
I had a nzxt s340 and an h100i water cooler, wondering whether to direct airflow from the 2 120mm Corsair sp fans toward the inside of the case or pull warm air out facing the front panel. I also have one 120mm Corsair AF fan in the back and another 140mm Corsair AF fan on top if needed.
Hi,
I believe you should handle the intake at the front and the exhaust from the back. If airflow is a concern, setting the top 140mm as an intake would maintain positive pressure. However, with a front intake, you'd lose equal pressure. The benefit of the front intake on the S340 is that it's filtered, resulting in less dust overall.
Short story, I think you should choose the front intake.
Hope this helps, feel free to ask any questions.
Thanks,
Simon
