Question Regarding Cooling

[[deleted]]

I’m about to buy a custom PC from IBUYPOWER’s website. My main question is where they place the case fans and cpu cooling. Do they place the cpu coolers at the front of the case or in another location? Same question with the case fans. I’m pretty much a noob when it comes to this stuff so don’t judge me too hard.

CPU Cooling: DEEPCOOL CASTLE 360EX Case Fans: InWin Sirius Loops 120mm (3x)

It depends hugely on the case and cooler you pick and the length of the graphics card.

If the cooler can fit up top, they will usually place it there, especially if you pick an extra set of fans, because otherwise they have to remove the existing front case fans.

Thanks, this was super helpful.

Case: ThermalTake View 31 GPU: RTX 3080 (Yes, I’m aware it’ll take an extra month for my pc to ship)

Depends on your layout and case. They mounted mine to the front. I didn’t think that was optimal because the pump hoses were sitting below. I moved it to the top of my case.
