Question Case Fans





There's my case, I have 2 80mm fans on the side (intake) an 80mm on the back (exhuast), 80mm front (intake) and a 120mm on the inside...

Is that a good set-up?

Also, if I changed the top 80mm fan on the side to an exhuast, would it be better?

Adding a 120mm to the top, worth it?

Thanks!

looks like you are pushing more air in then out atm creating overpreasure. That 120 mm fan, is it a intake or exhaust? You might want to take that 80mm frontfan and move it to the back as a exhaust. If you plan to add another 120 mm fan make it a exhaust so you get a even airflow.

The one inside the case? It's an intake, it's pushing air towards the RAM and NB...

I have an 80mm fan at the back, sorry, you can't really see it in the pictures, it's the green blob behind the HSF

On the top, right?

It should be mounted on top as a exhaust. It's really easy though, every fan has a certain ammount of cfm that it pushes or pulls. Your goal should be to get a good balance between both intake and exhaust.

Ok sure, so it'd be an exhuast, but wouldn't it draw the cool air coming from the front 80mm out?

Are all the other fans Ok?

Better to draw the hot air constantly then to have a heap of hot air just being pushed around.

So what kind of a set-up would you suggest?

Guys, would sticking the front green 80mm fan on the other side of the duct (the inside) be better, or adding one there, stacking them?

Also, if I changed the top 80mm fan on the side to an exhuast, would it be better?

You have 3 80's in, 1 80 out.
Move the 120, or get another one for exhaust.
And yes, in the top would be a good idea.
