Please don't spam the forum, keep it to 1 thread.

Then I bought an ALF Ii 360 for my Corsair 570x, intending to forepart mount.

• Should I put the radiator behind the 3 front end fans, so there are 6 fans in forepart on intake, or should I remove those fans and but have the radiator human activity as front intake case fans?
• I am worried that if the ALF Two works every bit advertised, and the CPU is very cool, the fans wont work hard enough to cool the unabridged instance and say, my GPU will be hotter than it should exist. I don't know what to do since I heard the PWM controller for the ALF Fans don't really lend themselves to setting a fan bend separate from the pump.

Thanks!

Should I sandwich the radiator in such a fashion that fan->radiator->fan-> exterior of case? This would mean that the case fans intake, while the fans on the other side of the radiator button out into the case. I don't know if this is even possible with the parts listed.

it's called a push \ pull configuration.

the 570x has a solid drinking glass front panel.
and so to mount annihilation on the "exterior" would mean removing this panel and the mesh filter behind it.

if you haven't purchased it even so or are still within the render window,
you may want to get with something else which doesn't crave this type of modding
or ameliorate still something that can fit the 360mm radiator in the meridian console for exhausting.

for a push \ pull setup in the forepart of this case you lot take to adhere the push fans on the front end panel,
take the radiator attached on the within of them,
and so the pull fans attached to the radiator.

similar to what Corsair shows here, but with another layer of fans on the inside of the radiator.

you lot should consider that when y'all are using this type of radiator placement that you are dumping all of the warmed air from your CPU dorsum into the case and potentially causing college temperatures on all other components.
when the heated air is straight exhausted, this isn't an issue.

What fans should I get for top (2x 140) and rear (1 x 120mm) exhaust? I'm looking at Noctua fans because they seem to be great and have much higher RPM than competitors, but non certain about voltages etc, and there seem to be many variations.
Whatsoever recommendations on replacing the front case fans (3x 120mm)?

the included Corsair fans are the Corsair SP120.
if you want to supervene upon them with something amend simply compare their specs to find something with higher airflow, college air pressure, and lower racket.
i always go with exist quiet! Silent Wings three Loftier-Speed PWM or Noctua NF iPPC.

Should I put the radiator behind the three front end fans, and then there are 6 fans in forepart on intake, or should I remove those fans and just have the radiator human action every bit front intake case fans?

Ideally, if going for any kind of push pull sandwich, the fans should exist the aforementioned.
Hmm, can't move the LF2 360 anywhere else... relocate the SP120 fans.

I don't know what to exercise since I heard the PWM controller for the ALF Fans don't really lend themselves to setting a fan curve separate from the pump.

Nothing a couple of splitters and free mobo headers tin't fix if you desire more control...

Thanks, my idea (without having tested information technology even so) would exist to have the front case fans and the radiator acting as intake, and then double intake. Practise you call back thats a bad idea?

Bad idea? No. Impractical, perhaps.
Using different fans in a sandwich leads to turbulence, or whirring/whooshing due to the different fan profiles.

It also doesn't actually do anything, except with like, 60mm thick radiators. I tried it for a bit with 6x NF-F12s on a Celsius S36, front end intake in a H500P Mesh... did away with half the fans after.

Hello! So I am building a ryzen arrangement with an Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 360 MM (Front Mounted) for the 570x corsair case.

• Should I sandwich the radiator in such a way that fan->radiator->fan-> outside of case? This would mean that the case fans intake, while the fans on the other side of the radiator push button out into the case. I don't know if this is fifty-fifty possible with the parts listed. If non, just intake .
• What fans should I get for top (2x 140) and rear (1 x 120mm) exhaust? I'1000 looking at Noctua fans because they seem to be great and take much higher RPM than competitors, merely non sure well-nigh voltages etc, and there seem to be many variations.
• Whatsoever recommendations on replacing the forepart case fans (3x 120mm)?

I am actually confused almost the higher up questions, and appreciate whatever help.

it'southward chosen a push \ pull configuration.

the 570x has a solid glass forepart console.
so to mount annihilation on the "outside" would mean removing this panel and the mesh filter behind information technology.

if yous haven't purchased it yet or are still inside the return window,
you may want to get with something else which doesn't require this type of modding
or better nonetheless something that can fit the 360mm radiator in the top panel for exhausting.

for a button \ pull setup in the front of this case yous have to adhere the button fans on the front end panel,
have the radiator fastened on the inside of them,
and then the pull fans fastened to the radiator.

like to what Corsair shows here, but with another layer of fans on the inside of the radiator.

you should consider that when you are using this type of radiator placement that you are dumping all of the warmed air from your CPU back into the example and potentially causing higher temperatures on all other components.
when the heated air is directly exhausted, this isn't an event.

What fans should I get for top (2x 140) and rear (1 x 120mm) exhaust? I'chiliad looking at Noctua fans because they seem to be slap-up and accept much higher RPM than competitors, just non sure nearly voltages etc, and there seem to be many variations.
Any recommendations on replacing the forepart instance fans (3x 120mm)?

the included Corsair fans are the Corsair SP120.
if yous want to replace them with something ameliorate just compare their specs to find something with higher airflow, higher air pressure level, and lower noise.

if you want to replace them with something better but compare their specs to notice something with higher airflow, higher air pressure, and lower racket.

Thanks a lot- It was hard to choice a case, and I already take it, for various reasons returning and changing isnt actually an option right now. I don't think that doing rad->fan->outside of case would be horrible, but if there is any way to better the state of affairs I'm curious. Tin can the 570x sp120mm'south be mounted on the other side of the alf 2 360mm using long screws?

take the radiator attached on the inside of them,
and so the pull fans attached to the radiator.

Tin the 570x sp120mm's be mounted on the other side of the alf two 360mm using long screws?

the same mode the radiator'due south included fans are attached, only on the contrary side of the radiator.

I don't think that doing rad->fan->outside of instance would be horrible, but if there is any fashion to meliorate the situation I'm curious.

you do not want to be pushing exterior air into the radiator without whatsoever grit filter.
it may be relatively easy to clean the bulk of dust out of the radiator's fins with canned air & vacuum cleaner attachments,
just it means dismantling the entire setup and any difficult to remove residual dust with eventually kickoff to clog airflow.

there would be no benefit to removing the front end panels and placing the fans\radiator on the "outside".
y'all would want to set it upwardly but every bit the included paradigm shows, only with some other layer of fans on the within of the radiator.
