Fan Placement Confusion?

sam_nightfire · Feb 13, 2016

Hi all,just build my new pc

Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
Intel i5-6600k
G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 8 GB
Asus AMD Radeon Strix R9 390 8 GB
Toshiba 1 TB 7200+ rpm HDD
Cooler Master Hyper 212x
Seasonic M12II-620 620w

I have a Cooler Master HAF 912 case.It comes with two 120 mm pre mounted fans(1 intake at the front, 1 exhaust at the back),and it has the option of mounting 1 more intake fan at front,two exhaust fans at top,and one intake fan at side, and i have two more 120 mm fans.So where should i mount them? I stay in India and its a little hot here,if that helps.

I think I'd go another input fan in front and an exhaust on top

See, I'd go side and top. I'd put the intake one on the side strictly for the graphics cardt, and exhaust on the top.

A side intake fan will do the most to lower the temps of the GPU and MB. The second fan is less important, but I would probably try it as a top rear exhaust or a top middle intake- try it both ways and see which one works better for you. Check temps with HWMonitor: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

Right now i have a setup as 1 intake front, 1 intake side, 1 exhaust back, one exhaust top. Will it be ok?i m open for the idea about changing it. And is the neutral pressure ok? Or i should increase the positive/negative pressure? Lastly, will it create any hot pockets with this setup? Sorry i m a bit touchy about temperatures as i live in a hot country.

That's a good set up. Check your temps with the software previously noted.

My cpu remains 38-40 c at idle, and 62-63 c at high gaming, and my gpu stays 38-40 c at idle, and 75-77 c at gaming. Is this temperatures ok?
