Need help with airflow in a cheap, micro atx case with 2 fan mounts. One side, one rear.

JA_Builder · Jul 17, 2016

Hey, I live in Jamaica, and I could find only one store near me that actually sells cases. A cheap one for a not so cheap price. Anyways, I bought it. It looks like a Micro atx case (not entirely sure) and it only has 2 fan mounts. one 90mm, right above the cpu cooler exaust fan. And a 120 mm, right at the back (they're close). Also, the power supply i Have is top mounted and has an intake fan at the bottom, and that draws air from between the 90mm and cpu cooler exhaust fan. How should i set up my fans?? (the case came with none)

I have a: Geforce GTX 950 SC, and an AMD Athlon X4 860K, and a Gigabyte F2A6hHM-H Motherboard as my main components to be cooled.

JA_Builder :

could you make a picture from your case ??. well for an optimal airflow you should follow something like this

Are you sure it´s a 90mm fan and not a 80mm fan ?? it´s quite rare 90mm fan

I was thinking about that, But the case has no front fan mount. It is just like that one in the picture, but with no front fan mount and a side fan mount instead.
I bought an 80mm fan and it was a bit small, but it was not as large as a 120mm fan, so i'm assuming it's a 90mm.

JA_Builder :

:lol: the most tradition method you had been to use the 92 mm on the side Panel as an intake and the back 120mm as an exhaust. but it´s better having the bigger fans pushing air inside. On your case I would do an "inversed" setting I would mount the 120mm as INTAKE and the 90mm as EXHAUST. And your pc shouldn't be left next to a wall ( The side panel should not be blocked)
