My case cooling Config

Nerdz · 02-December-03, 07:10 PM

does this cooling config cool my comp properly. And note that this isnt a server case. This is ur regular run of the mill mid tower atx case. And also another note: all fans are 80 mm but that probaly wont make a differnce.

Kewl setup nerdz...I'd have the fans at the top suck rather than blow...heat rises...might as well take advantage of it...

Yes deffently have the fans on top pushing air out of the case..Have the front fans and the side fans blowing in and the back and the top blowing out..

I know you already have those fans, but why don't you just use 120mm's? Four 80mm's look excessive and ugly imo. Take a look at this article to get more ideas.

well the top 4 fans are painted silver and blue. they look pretty cool. and thnx for the suggestion I'll make em blow out instead of in

It is all about personal taste once you have the Function taken care of. As suggested in the gallery, I would paint the fan casing the color of your case...that would help improve the look.

I'd have them set up to blow out the TOP and PSU and IN everywhere else. a little positive pressure won't hurt...

nice diagram btw.

positive pressure keeps dust out right or is that negative pressure? i cant remember.

aaronrkelly · 03-December-03, 07:32 PM

I believe thats negative pressure keeps dust out.

Overpressure

Positive pressure helps keep dust out, but can not entirely prevent dust buildup. Even with filters there is always a slight amount of buildup that calls for filter and case cleaning.
