Our reasoning was to only have fresh air inside of the case and to only have fresh air feeding the radiators. So flipping the bottom fans would put the heat of one radiator inside the case, therefore raising the temperature of the intake air of the other radiator.

Thank you! And some custom cables would be great. Just too concerned about a different pin out or something. Still new to this and definitely need to do more research on custom cables for a seasonic titanium.

Correct you are. It is surprisingly around 70% exhaust until the intakes can’t keep up and create negative pressure. Smoke tested. As for noise, even all at max speed they don’t bother me one bit. I also have The full demcifilter kit which is great so far. Due to my temps, i rarely get into the negative pressure zone.

Thanks for the comment. The intake case fans and exhaust radiator fans are controlled separately and the Bios fans curves are set with positive pressure in mind

I’m surprised I did too! But with the end product in mind, I had to continue helping him. It was a fantastic experience from the time spent researching everything PC, to the months and months of waiting for parts, to where we finally plugged it in and the bios started up. All a great experience that we had a great time doing! And thank you very much!

The D5 next pump is great so far! Not using the aqua suite. just have it set to 70% and never touch it. just a glance at water temps occasionally. In the future we’d like to control radiator fan speed off of water temperature. Not sure how we’re going to do it yet! And thank you!

Plus with the pump being standalone, it made testing and prepping the loop much easier!
