For 2x 120mm fans' worth of airflow out bottom and 1x 120mm fan's airflow out back you need 3x 120mm fans' worth of intake airflow. So where is the cool air for coolers coming from?both, they'll be exhausting directly out of the case. heres an example.

the industrial fans are noisier, but they have more range as far as rpm which im guessing is good ?
im basically trying to keep the 1080ti under 70c, and get as much hot air out so the 8700k can be somewhat cooled by the u9s (top 92mm fan intake, bottom two 120mm exhaust)
this is in the Ncase m1
You dont need to match like for like(intake vs out).
You don't know what you think you do or you are leaving some very critical details out of your airflow claimYou dont need to match like for like(intake vs out).
If you have more air being pulled out, then you will create negative pressure in the case, and it will pull air from wherever it can. Ideally a mesh somewhere or some vents but I like the idea, get the hot air out. Should work pretty well.
As for fans, i have some deltas in my server rack.....THEY ARE LOUD. Think a few db off a vacuum cleaner. I have 10 running in my rack and its definitely way louder then a vacuum cleaner.
If the case is going to be in the basement or similar, fine. If its going to be anywhere near a living area, HELL NO!!!
Go with other alternatives.
Slight probem with this case
, especially the version with the glass on the side instead of mesh, is that there is no PCIe slot covers to remove, there's nothing around the gpu that can be removed, and that makes running intake fans from bottom into the gpu push insane amounts of hot air from the gpu into the rest of the case and or the PSU depending on it's orientation.
I can understand how having GPU venting as exhaust with not case side venting.Slight probem with this case
The only thing there is a small hole above the screws to secure the gpu, that's the only place air can come out.
This is all assuming a hot high-temperature running extreme heat generating huge length-width-depth 1080Ti is used.
The gpu backplate is making matters worse, preventing heat from going away from the card, and making everything hotter. There's no point whatsoever in using one especially in this situation where the card not flexing and sitting nicely on the bottom fans.
In my opinion no.1 problem with a setup like this is gpu backplate, just get rid of it, 2nd if u don't use the glass side panel, you can setup the fans in a ok way. however with a glass side panel, there's so little options, the best way would be bottom fans as exhaust from the accelero, and all other fans as intake. intake on the back into the CPU heatsink, and all fans on the heatsink as intake, and intake on the top into the heatsink, and next to it.
Lengthen case feet so there is 40mm between bottom of case and what it is setting on (even more is better) to increase airflow area to/from bottom vents. Below is link to why more space between bottom venting and what case is seating on helps.
Obviously you have never done this, because people who have raised their cases so there is 40-50mm bottom clearance know how it improves airflow to bottom vents.
Yeah the manufacture offers raised feet
Its the ncase m1I don't know what this chassis is, may have been mentioned further down perhaps?
Either way you mention additional fans on top (albeit without showing them), so assuming i haven't misunderstood?
- Remove the 'exhaust' Redux fan.
- Make your CPU blower a proper push-pull. No, not because you'll gain 2Cs, but because you want it as close to the 'exhaust' grill.
- Make the CPU blower's direction the opposite of what it usually is, is taking air from outside (the back) and blowing it forward/inward.
- Reverse flow on the GPU fans, have them suck fresh air from below/outside and blow it inside the chassis.
- You will have higher temps in VRM, that SSD, etc., but lower ones on CPU and GPU.
- No exhaust fan. Assuming i got you right, it will all leave out the top on its own.
At least this way you won't be starved for air, which you will be if you try to do it the right way; just not what this case was designed for, you'd need more airflow than it could ever allow you.
Mind you, it's dumb having hot air in. Goes without saying. But if you just have to keep that.. thing, and keep your components at respectable levels, well, i guess it's what i'd do. Again though, you're meant to be doing it the opposite way. Or by keeping this chassis, at least ensuring you're not taxing it. Barring any overclocks, the temperature rise in secondary components should remain at a minimum.
A correction to a certain expert above, the Vardars are not "industrial" fans
Now as to what you should pick.. depends really. I'd keep the Arctic ones if noise was an issue, no dilemma. I'd replace them with 3 Notcua 92s if it wasn't. Significantly higher performance.

* Note however that if you do choose to switch fans, ghetto modding may be required.
My topic was just asking what fans are better lol
Do you mean what case grills to put in to replace the stock ones?
