I need a lot of help regarding Positive Pressure vs Negative Pressure.
I understand some of the basics when comes to Positive Pressure vs Negative Pressure, more or less.
I swear I'm slamming my head against the wall. I just need a lot of help.
This is my setup.
I have two fans blowing air into the case, in the front of the case. I have two fans pushing air out of the Top. I have a 120 fan as the exhaust & the PSU with the fan facing town.
Is this correct or not?

I'm truly sorry regarding the double post. I deleted it twice. I just awoke.

Are you having any overheating issues? If not, its fine. It sounds fine to me. I have 2x in the front pointing in, 1x on the side pointing in (to blow on the CPU) and then 1x 200mm on the top blowing out, 120 on the back blowing out. Works great.

That's one reason. I wouldn't say that's a big issue, around 30 @ idle & 70ish under load, sometime higher.

If your case doesn't get warm to the touch, the air inside it is not greatly over ambient and there will be little benefit from rearranging the fans.

However, it does sound like you have 4 fans blowing out and 2 fans blowing in, which would give a lot of negative pressure. Because of this, you'll likely have less airflow through the case than if you were to have 3 in and 3 out.

I used to mess with this type of thing on my old Full ATX Tower and tbh it never made much of a difference. I tried 3 in / 4 out, 5 in / 2 out, 4 in / 3 out...etc. Never made any significant difference to CPU and GPU temperature, 2C at most. I think I settled on 3 in / 4 out.

I have another question..I don't how much this helps but say my temps, ambient temps around my room 23c.
Yes, I like it cold. ( It's around 35c ) I hate summer!!!
