on another thread we were discussing case air pressure. So it got me thinking about our HAF'S. Hearing that negative pressure is really good for a system, apparently this could create some dust problems (though I'm always cleaning stuff around, major case of OCD'). I wonder if there were any negative pressure within the HAF design.
Here are the stock HAF fan specs. Front: 230 x 30 mm red LED fan x 1, 700 RPM, 110 CFM, 19 dBA Side: 230 x 30 mm standard fan x 1, 700 RPM, 110 CFM, 19 dBA (support 120 x 25 fan x 4) Top: 230 x 30 mm standard fan x 1, 700 RPM, 110 CFM, 19 dBA (support 120 mm fan x 3 or 120 mm x 1 + 230 x 30 mm x 1) Rear: 140 x 25 mm standard fan x 1, 1200 RPM, 60.9 CFM 17 dBA (support 120 mm fan x 1)
Given those specs, i was told on another thread that the case was in fact creating positive pressure.
I was also suggested to switch the side fan to an exhaust to create negative pressure.
For those wondering what all this fuss about is negative and positive air is all about...
Some say positive air creates turbulence, thus creating hot spots.
Which is why some people decide to have more exhaust than intake on their case, hence the term "negative pressure."
Has anyone tried adjusting the HAF to create more negative pressure? If so any significant results?
I've been thinking about switching my side fan to exhaust to see what happens.
i heard a while back that there was a test done and positive pressure did help drop temps by a couple degrees. I didn't read it myself though, so you may take it with a grain of salt

Once I went out and got drunk. then came home and thought it would be a good idea to overclock enough join the 100% overclockers club. Lesson learned: you CAN'T get to 6 GHz when you're hammered.-pfritzmorkin
Considering one of these cases in the next week or so to replace my Armour Jr as its a bit small for what im wanting to do, how does these fair for W/C.
Thie would be my first venture into W/C so looking for a case that will give me as much room as possible to play around with
Hey just wanted to post my rig on here for ya. Not done yet waiting for performance-pcs to have the heatkillers, and feser 360 available again but here it is with all red LED fans and 2 12in neon lights. Cable management isn't finished just yet. So tell me what you think.
