I know it's been discussed, but i'm hoping to get a few opinions on case cooling. I've read the most efficient setup is a rear top fan for exhaust and a front fan for intake. I would really like to have a vertical, bottom to top setup. I'm not sure how much heat rising has to do with case cooling considering were moving the air anyways....but i'm guessing it helps.
I'm thinking I would do 1 or 2 120mm gentle typhoons on the bottom in taking air, then 1 GT intake on my hyper 212 evo cooler, 1 GT exhaust on the other side of my cooler, and finally 1 or 2 GT's exhausting air on the top of my case.
Overkill? Definitely...
I'm planning a 7850K build and I would like to overclock the Sh** out of it. No discreet graphics or PCI cards to block the airflow, which is why in this case i'm going for the vertical cooling.
Lastly, I've only seen PS mounted to the rear top or bottom...anyone seen a case that allows it to be put anywhere else? Only because I'd like to have a direct straight line of airflow through my cpu...most bottom fans i've seen are offset by the PS. Not that I couldn't customize it myself....just wondering if there is a pre-made solution.
Thanks in advance guys!
