Hello,
I have the NZXT H440 case and am waiting on a H100i to arrive as my CPU cooler. Does anyone know if there are any pros/cons to having the H100i as a front intake instead of a top exhaust?
It should physically fit (hard drive tray/cages removable), but my thinking was with the lack of vent meshes for airflow (case is opimised for low noise so they're just solid panels with limited venitalation on the sides of the front panel and top panels) it's better to have cool air from the outside cooling the H100i instead of warm air from within the case exhausting up (where the top panel restricts air dissapation). This also provides air going towards the GPU card.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
