I've got a question about mounting my Corsair H80 watercooler to my Antec Lanboy Air.
I am using an Asus P8Z77-V Pro motherboard with the PSU on top. Checking every possible place i can mount the radiator, it looks like the best spot would be in the front, at the top fan location. The water lines are just about an inch too short for the radiator (with one fan on each side) to mount to the front of the case. So i figured i could gut a cheap 120mm fan and put that between the case and first radiator fan. But now i realize the front fans are led fans. Rather than sacrifice the asthetics of having two led fans in the front, do you think mounting 2 running fans before the radiator and one behind would disrupt airflow too much to cause noise or overheating?
I could always use the antec fan in front, then a spacer, radiator, and the corsair fan behind the radiator. But without knowing the rpm's of both fans, (different makes) and be able to match them, it may not be as efficient as it should be.
What are your thoughts? I would like to keep the Antec led fan in front so i have two led fans going in the front, but i need some kind of spacer for the radiator to reach without putting too much stress on the waterlines. Hope i didn't make this too confusing.
