I have the Corsair 380t, which only has a 120mm rear exhaust fan, and on the front either: 2 120mm, 1 140mm, 1 200mm fans. I have a itx x99 motherboard with the i7-5820k which is overclocked.
So i got the H100i for the CPU, i have that exhausting in push on the right side of the case.
I currently have the stock front fan (140mm) as intake and the rear 120mm along with the 2 120mm radiator fans all in exhaust. this is creating negative pressure and this case has lots and lots of holes to pull air and dust through.
I've got the gigabyte windforce 980 oc, which doesnt exhaust out the back the heat just disapates which really doesnt help, all that heat is going into the case, all more reason to get more poitive pressure to get cool air in. Even though the GPU intakes from the side by the time it cools the GPU thats just more hot air and doesnt help as an intake.
So im trying to figure out how to create posistive pressure to help temp and dust control.
Im thinking the first step would be to get 2 120mm fans for the front intake. But that still doesnt do it. Once i have those ill have 2 120mm intakes in the front and 3 120mm exhausts at the side and rear, (2 of which are cooling a radiator, so itd be nice to have plenty of cool air in the case to push through those).
So id like to hear what youve all got to say and your reccomendations on how to setup my fans...
