Need help with my fan setup (intake exhaust stuff)

LBCvalenz562 · Nov 10, 2013

PC:
CPU: intel i7 4770k

GPU: EVGA GTX 770 4gb ACX cooler

Motherboard: Asus z87-pro

Ram: Corsair Vengeance 16gb
1600mhz (black)

CPU cooler: Corsair H100i extreme liquid cooler

Power Supply: XFX (seasonic) 850w fully modular gold certified

Hard drive: 1tb Western Digital black

320GB Seagate Baracuda (Music and Pictures)

Solid state drive: Kingston v300 120gb

Fans: 4x Rosewill RFA 120mm
2x Coolermaster 120mm
2x Corsair H100i 120mm

OS: Windows 8.1

Case: Cooler Master Storm Scout 2 Advanced. (Mid tower)

Ok so here is a picture of how its set up currently

Now my issue is my 2 side exhaust fans, i feel that with them being exhaust that the GPU will be fighting to pull in air (2 intake fans on the gpu) or am i just thinking too much? and if i do need to make those fans intake is 1 exhaust fan enough?

i would make the side ones intake as heat rises the side wont do much they will also help keep the gpu cooler as well

You want the side fans as Intakes for the best cooling solution but you will need to put dust filters/mesh on them or your case will get dusty as heck. Usual setup for best air flow and cooling in most setups is Intake front bottom and sides and exhaust top and rear.

the best air flow for you will be front and side as intake the top and back as outake ,i use the first scout and been set up this way got great air flow .

in my case i have evga gtx770 sc and corsair h80 cpu cooler fitted in front where is dvd etc. as intake, down bottom noctua f12 fan intake and back noctua f12 exhaust since i dont have option as you for a fan next to graphic card (which i would like) i would use it first as both exhaust. my case gets HOT! with this card. but you should test it try as exhaust then try as intake and take your temperature notes from both. that will give you idea how to set it

onehans1982 · Nov 10, 2013

and yes mesh to prevent dust in such systems its a must unles you want to buy compressed air every month depend how much dust you have in house

scout_03 · Nov 10, 2013

@ onehans your h 80 push air in or out and why you did not put it on top or at the back as exaust .

onehans1982 · Nov 10, 2013

its push in. cant do it at back because sabertooth x79 fan shield :/ but temp overall in case dont go above 40 at heavy load. and i dont have top since its sharkoon t9 case http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/t9-value

I'd also say convert them to intake, but personally I just live with the dust. I put filters on my fans and it cut their efficiency so drastically I just ended up removing the filters and throwing them away. Having said that I try and keep my P.C. as quiet as possible and so I have multiple fans all dialed down as low as they'll go.

...but yes, all my components are covered in dust.

Edit: Try and make it as much like a wind-tunnel as possible. Push-pull. High pressure for the input, high volume for the output.

@onehans1982 got a good news for your ,the economy edition have the same side panel except that you could put 2 fan in it manual page 5http://www.sharkoon.com/sites/default/files/ddblock/nid-1815/images/manual_en_12821.pdf so if you could get this panel be great .
