Now let me clear things up here a bit; when we "Admins" kick folks (both oldies and youngsters), we tend not to kick them in the head (leaves too many obvious marks), but go straight for the goodies every time RFLMAO

[brechan69]

WINNER!!

too easy lolz

I can't count how many times I've had to recheck which port is the inlet (1/2" compression fittings tend to cover up the "In" part) before connecting the tubing. Happens to everybody; both new, and old diehards

Wish I could do this to some of my co-workers ! RFLMAO

The night time pics of the ROG logo looks killer!

For the top mounted fans, are they blowing air into the case or the other way around? I'm mounting a 360 rad in my HAF 932 and I'm not sure if I want them blowing air out or sucking air in.

out or you overheat your RAM.

[brechan69]

Agreed.
Even if you don't manage to overheat you RAM; remember the old saying " heat rises", still applies to PC's.

[Chrisc2482]

I have to disagree to extent yes heat rises and all but if fans are powerful enough (which most are nowadays) it will push more than enough air through the rad to cool the RAM and VRM and keep the hot air somewhere in the middle where it is immediately exhausted out the back while the front fans help it along not only that, it will also improve your temperature by now using fresh cooler air from the outside rather than hot air from within your case. I choose to go with Corsair SP120(static pressure) high-performance edition in push configuration but if you did push/pull would be even better I'd say.

I had air "in" in my first build (HAF932 by the way) and I had my Windows gave me Blue Screen of death from time to time. It turns to be ram was overheating. I had triple rad with 1500rpm fans on CPU+2xGPU loop.

[Chrisc2482]

Well my first build with this case i went with air out and it worked fine, i thought i'd try something different this time around which in theory made sense to me and still does so now im confused

[Grey]

I agree with both of you. Natural convection will be upward, but the fans will overcome it. But fighting convection will have effects in how air behaves in your case. In places where the fan air doesn't hit, convection will force hot air up. This tug of war (or actual war) can cause little micro hot spots (areas where hot air can stagnate). It might not bite you every time, but the best recommendation is to not fight convection.

My case is a HAF 932 as well. Does it make a difference that my ambient air temp is around 19 degrees celcius? My computers are in the basement, hence the "hockey rink" temps - not that I'm complaining!

[bungwirez]

I told you it was cold down there...

lower ambient is better overall since the lowest temp your water can attain is within a few degrees of room temp.
