NZXT H510 AIO Push or Pull

Build Help

I just bought an rgb radiator from Coolermaster to cool my 10700k. I was wondering what configuration I should use to have the most rgb light showing in my h510 while having good enough airflow:

  • Radiator mounted on the front of the case with included rgb fans pulling air through it
  • Radiator mounted on the front of the case with case fans (non rgb) in front of the radiator pushing air through. The rgb fans will be used as exhaust on the top and back.

This is my first PC build so if there any better ideas, I am open for suggestions.

How big is your rad? The top of the h510 case I believe only has holes for a single fan exhaust.

edit: ignore that. Hmm I think if I had the choice I'd use the rgb fans on the front. You'd get more illumination in an otherwise dark corner of the case.

It's 240mm. Yes, that's why I am mounting the cooler in the front.

So rad on the front, and fans as intake. Id put the fans on the inside of the rad (so fans visible from the case) so theres more space between the front panel and the fans. You could mount it like rad, fans, front panel too
