Best Fan Placement for NZXT Source 210?

Guest · Sep 17, 2014

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

This case can support:

2x 120mm front intake
1x 120mm bottom intake
2x 120 or 140mm exhaust
1x 92 or 120mm rear exhaust

I have three 120mm fans and one 92mm fan

Note: The the front bezzle of the case supports intake fans, but doesn't have any airflow holes.

Please tell me the best configuration to place my fans and which way my CPU cooler (Hyper 212 ) should be facing. As long as my system isn't sounding like a hair dryer, I'm not really looking for silence, but my main goal is to have the most cooling possible.

do as follows:

two 120mm fans as front intake.
one 120mm as top exhaust
one 92mm as rear exhaust.

212 EVO should be blowing towards the back of the case directly into the 92mm fan.

I agree.

Also, make sure your FAN CONTROL software for the motherboard is setup properly. I'm not certain what fans that case has but if possible plug them and the CPU fan into the motherboard and sort out the best configuration.

I'm also assuming the case doesn't have all those fans. If so, have one of them as front intake, and one at the top-rear.

As for the "fan holes" I'm sure there are holes for air flow there somewhere. They don't make fan mounts for the front of a case with no way for the air to move into them.
