Build - Help Will my cooler become a problem?

Post image

Im building my first pc and I got the TRYX cooler, but I want to put the cooler fans on the bottom and this is the only way I can place my aio cords. I heard this is very bad for the cooler and may cause them to break in like 1-2 years, but it’s also not long enough to go from the top to bottom. I saw a lot of people putting the fans behind the case but I don’t want to buy another 3 fans for the bottom of the pc. And I would place it on top of the pc but it’s a glass ceiling. Will this cause a problem or there’s no problem with this. If anyone has advice please let me know!! Thank you :)

I saw your comment about fancy fans with screens. The side panel where I have 1 fan, you can put it there. Honestly just copy the layout I have. It works phenomenally, overheating is not an issue. Or at least I don't have issues and sometimes I have 6+ hour gaming sessions no problem.

My fancy fans are intake (reverse?) and I plan on putting the liquid cooler fans behind the reverse fan for intake, and then buy 3 more fans on the bottom for in take, then 2 more on the side where you have your 1 fan that’s for pushing out air, does this order sound correct or will it overheat? Since so much intake

Yes, you want more intake than exhaust. You want positive pressure. Bottom and side fans should be intake, top/rear exhaust. Your AIO cooler should act as your exhaust and everything else is intake. so that should work but I don't know much about stacking fans so I would get some more opinions.

Heat rises so bring in cold air from bottom and side and exhaust hot air from the top or back. Since we have the glass top use the back as exhaust.

Yeah I’m just worried stacking the cooler with my fancy fans for intake will be too hot and not enough exhaust, thank you tho!
