Cooling Questions on my fan setup

80cutty · Jul 16, 2015

So I Have an old case because My build for this is called the wolfs in sheep clothing so i wanted an older case with new parts inside just a mild build so i took the old antec case from an ex of mine and built this gaming rig

Motherboard- 78LMT-S2P
CPU- FX 6100 Bulldozer Black edition 3.3 GHz 3.7 GHz turbo
GPU-Radeon XFX R9 270X BestBuy edition 2GB DDR5
RAM- 2 Stick of kingston hyperx 1600mhz running at 1333 mhz
PSU- Bottom Fan 650W Thermaltake
HDD- Toshiba 1tb Disk Drive

Here is my fan setup:

1) your GPU fans pull air from inside the case and pushes it out of the back. (your second picture is incorrect)
2) your PSU fans pulls air from inside the case and pushes it out of the back. (your second picture is incorrect)
3) Do you have a question? Generally, for mid-towers, I pull-in from the front/bottom, push-out from back/top, and vary the side from tests.

Side note: I would maybe play around to see if pulling air from or pushing air over works best for your CPU heatsink. Some stock heatsink and fans perform differently.

LunarPropane :

My main question was is it bad to have an in intake blowing onto an exhaust cpu fan their both blowing into one another while both being sucked out by exhaust.

Now about what you said i never new that haha so its like this:

Your CPU fan will blow air onto the CPU cooler, not away from it. So it'll push air in the same direction as your side fan, you've got nothing to worry about.

Mattib 050 :

So My side fan is forcing more air into the fan that is actually as well pulling neutral air into the cpu heatsink so temps should go down then correct ?

And in case your wondering this is my wolf in sheep clothing:

Originally was a half gig of ram 428 intel socket computer. If anyone can help me identify where the model number or part number is on this Antec case that would be great too haha
