I am planning to start my first build and im pretty much certain i'm going to go with the In Win 805 case.
Im going with a 280mm AIO CPU liquid cooler mounted at the front & probably a Asus strix gtx 1060 or Asus Rx 480. I am trying to determine proper airflow.
I am wondering if the radiator should be intake or exhaust. Obviously the go to is intake, ambient tempture, cooler air from the outside, etc. But with what im thinking I want to know if thats the best option.
I am planning to have two 120mms on the bottom as intake, bringing in the cooler air from below through the dust filter into the case. The air would move upwards and either be sucked out the front (through the 280mm rad) and back 120mm fan, 2 in/3 out, creating negative pressure as the air should be being sucked out faster than the intake while only bringing air in through the filter.
This, oposed to the rad being the intake, mixing from the air below and heading out just the back fan, 4 in/1 out, creating positive pressure and bringing possible dust through the rad.
Also looking at the case, the space at the front to use the rad as the intake seems like it would be less airflow, bringing it through those honeycomb slots, compared to having it as exhaust (but again, forcing the air out might be a problem too).
New at this so any critism & suggestions are appreciated.
