Hello guys! I just recently bought my case for my up and coming gaming build!
(Rosewill Blackhawk) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K4TEA4/sr=8-1/qid=1408767797/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1408767797&sr=8-1
Now, I want to make sure I get the best air flow cooling performance I can get! I already bought myself 2 extra fans rated at 75 CFM, on top of the 5 included in the case. My current setup will be as followed:
3 Front 120mm intake
1 Side 120mm exhaust
1 Bottom 120mm intake
1 Rear 120mm exhaust
1 Top 140mm exhaust
So, short-wise, 4 intakes (All filtered, mesh for front, mesh for bottom) And 3 Exhaust (2x 120's and 1x 140)
(theres also a side fan located right by the GPU, and my guess would be its best to put it as an exhaust)
All arrows represent a single fan. I crossed out the HDD bays I will NOT be using, so less blockage for airflow.
So my last and final thing to ask is, well this be a great setup for amazing airflow? I want to have positive air pressure also, so the 2 new fans I bought will be intake as there CFM is probably rated a little higher then the stock fans.
If you have better placement ideas please let me know! Theres an extra slot on top for an additional 140mm or 120mm, along with an additional bottom 120mm slot (Below HDD cage)
My whole goal is to have good temp range on my CPU even under load in demanding games, with the stock cooler. (i5 4590 or 4690, depends which is better bang for buck when the time comes) And a GTX 770 ACX design SC'd. I will not be OC'ing the CPU, I won't have need for it as this is my first gaming build ever, and its an upgrade from a laptop with an i3 and intergrated (2370m 2.4GHz lol... this will be life-changing for me)
Thanks for your time guys!
