Possible To Achieve Neutral Pressure? Corsair 230T

Hey guys, do you think it's possible to achieve neutral pressure in my case? I know by default, it has two 120mm intake fans on the front & a 120mm exhaust fan on the back of the case. If I put two 120mm exhaust fans on the 2 top slots of the case, & a 120mm intake on the bottom slot of the case, would it affect temperature? I know that achieving positive & negative pressure depends on the case & its ventilation.

Don't worry about air pressure within a case. Any difference in air pressure, either positive or negative will be so minute as to barely be measurable and it certainly will not directly affect case cooling.

So it's no difference if I use any pressure? My CPU temperature on my Intel i5-4590 is 46 degrees celsius. Motherboard temperature on my AsRock Z97 Anniversary is around 20 degrees celsius.

Wolf is right. The difference is minute as long as you have proper airflow. Some will say that positive air pressure is good because it tends to not suck dust into the computer like negative will. Silverstone is a big believer in this and I tend to agree, but overall the differences are negligible

Exactly, but I don't think it is meant that way. I think Silverstone intends that it reduces dust coming in and settling in all of the nooks and crannies. I personally have never tested it. I am of the belief that as long as you have good airflow then all is well. You should periodically clean out your PC anyway,

I see. Thank you. I thought if I added some case fans, it would probably help for heavy stuff on the computer like video editing where the CPU gets very hot.

I'm using the Intel Stock Cooler provided with the processor. I haven't really done anything heavy on my computer, but I'm trying to plan some future expansion for my case. That's why I asked about the neutral pressure.

The stock cooler is good enough for anything you want to throw at it (except heavy overclocking). A third party cooler will help keep your processor somewhat cooler during heavy usage, but even so, you'll need good directional airflow through the case to remove the heat from the fins of the heat sink.

I'll try that. I'd like to take advantage of the PWM fans but I don't have enough chassis fan headers on my motherboard, nor do I have any 4 pin fan headers. Could I use a fan controller for more ports?
