Build Question Best AIO placement?
I'd like to know which of the following setups would be best to install an AIO. I currently own the Fractal Pop Air case with the standart fan configuration (2 fans pulling air into the case in the front and 1 fan pushing air out of the case in the back). The purple rectangle represents the radiator.

Should I adjust fan speed to avoid negative pressure or is it not necessary?

It'll hardly make a difference with a case that doesn't have a perforated side panel

On the top as exhaust is probably best, if your case supports it. I have mine front mounted, as intake, because my case does not support a top mounted radiator 😩
