so is it recommended to set the fan to pull in air from outside the case? i would much rather have the radiator away from the case using standoffs. kinda like how you see radiators on the back of cases. it would use the outside air, and it would dump the heat outside. something no air cooler can ever do (unless you make your case custom to isolate the heatsink from the rest of the case, but good luck)
