Hello, I'm thinking of putting together a w/c system in my CM Stacker and had a question about radiator orientation. Will a radiator work just as well over the 'grill' on the bottom of the case as standing vertically in the front of the case? The case has the wheels installed and sits on a carpeted floor. Thanks
Having the radiator at the bottom seems a popular choice. Just make sure the fans are pulling air through the radiator
I'd suggest having the fans blowing out the bottom of the stacker. The case is big enough that you'll want it on the floor, and getting a rad full of dust doesn't do your temps any favors. If you put the fans right next to the floor, and then the rad on top of them, you can still have the fans drawing air through the rad.
I personaly like top mounted rad with one or two floor mounted fans alongside front and rear fans. The top mounted rad for me is pure function as heat rises and it would be easier to exaust hot air from the case and keep the overall temps down. Just my choice.
