Case Fan Placement
Hey guys, I bought my Thermaltake Armor about 1 month ago and it came with the default fans. Those are
2 x 120MM w/ LED 1 x 120MM Orange 1 x 80MM Orange They're allocated as 1 Fan for Intake, 1 for Intake where the Power Supply draws it's air, 1 for Exhaust and for Exhaust on Top. I bought an AeroCool XtremeTurbine and installed it as Intake. My Big Typhoon is running it's stock fan. With the fans I have, do you guys think I could play with my fan placement to get the lowest temperatures posible? I for one think there should be only 1 Exhaust, not two...

in the cooling experiments.....
i did a little fan play..... with pictures... check it out.... but if you want... play around. different fan setups can lead to different parts cooling better... depends on where you want your main cooling to be... here is my post in the forum: http://www.overclock.net/cooling-exp...etup-best.html

your best bet is to find a nice balance. if air is not flowing and sits stagnant you it will continue to get warmer. just remember the obvious hot air rises. so keep your intakes at alow center and exhausts near the top. you could use only one exhaust but then you would be trapping air and creatin heat. so go for a nice balance. i have a 120m intake 80mm intake and 120mm exhaust and 2x80mm exhaust. i actually have it geared more toward exhaust to get all that hot air out. with my lapped proc and zalman coller i have 24c idle temps.
