Needs more hybrids:
This is actually my first gaming rig I've ever built, any criticism/suggestions on anything? Would be appreciated.
My idea on the radiators mounting placements: Because the top is being utilized by the h100i CPU cooler, that spots out, due to spacing of the case and the CPU radiator, the back spot is out as well. Typically for most people's builds that I've seen, the GPU's are mounted on the front intake of the case with fans, but I think blowing air through the radiators and throughout the case generally makes everything in there hotter...so I decided to throw one mount on the bottom with a fan on it exhausting directly below it, and the other radiator, I removed the fan from it otherwise it would not fit in that location, and mounted it to the inner case where there is the front 140MM fan at intake. So, 140MM intake air through the radiator, and exhausting through the other radiator right below it, keeping a constant and close proximity air flow from the outside front and down and out. (case is elevated on a stand.) While the upper front 140MM fan intakes throughout the case, keeping it wide open, and exhausting out the back/upper radiator in pull config.
Testing this out on 1440p gaming with GTAV, highest temps both of my GPU's see are about 53C. (This is the same maximum temperature I'd see when I had a single card.)
(I know wire management could be a bit better, but after diving in and out of this case for the past few months going through various parts, including doing the same for a second mini-iTX build, I grew pretty weary of tearing everything apart again...needs a break. Same goes for lighting, I'm using an LED stick that was given to me, whereas I think I could do a better job using LED strips throughout instead.)
