How do I optimize airflow in the CoolerMaster Elite 130?

teachmemaster · May 26, 2014

Hey guys,
I was wondering how do I get the most effective airflow from the CoolerMaster Elite 130. Which way should I orient the fans, PSU, etc...

Here are the parts that I have purchased thus far and WILL be using:
i7 4770
Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X

I am very open to suggestions on what other parts I should buy if they'll maximize airflow (eg. low profile ram, aftermarket fans, etc...)

However, I do NEED an HDD for storage.

The budget to buy the rest of the parts is $400-$600

Thanks in advance for the help!

only comes with a front fan (blowing in) and a side fan also blowing in. Looks like you use the gpu fans to help with airflow too.

I wouldn't put a 290X in it. It's too small. 290X's get hot. I'd use a Mid size tower case. Similar look - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25_961&products_id=23956 but better cooling (but also more expensive)

Parts -

Asus Z97 - A motherboard
2 x 4gb 1866 ram
Coolermaster Hyper 212 evo cpu cooler
33A and a 600W psu - eg Antec HCG 620M, XFX 650, Seasonic 620
Seagate 2TB Barracuda HDD
