CWCH70 - Corsair Hydro Series H70
Installation Tips – Airflow Direction
There are two options for configuring the airflow of the Corsair Hydro Series H70 when you install
it into your chassis. The approach recommended by Corsair is to install the fans so that they draw
in cool air from outside the chassis. This ensures that the delta between the air temperature and
the temperature of the radiator is maximized, which increases cooling performance according to
Newton’s Law of Cooling. This method of installation requires that you adjust the airflow inside the
chassis to ensure that there are sufficient fans exhausting the hotter air inside the case.
