Need help on planning to install Corsair H-50

[ngrungebb91]

Okay. First of all I have an Thermaltake Element G case. The airflow of it is a 200mm in front blowing in, 230mm on side blowing in, 200mm on top blowing out, 140mm on back blowing out(this is where the problem is since the H-50 needs air blowing in) and 2 60mm's on back blowing out. Now if i were to flip that fan when i install the H-50 will it mess up my airflow?

you can install the h50 as exhaust. it will not make a big difference. in fact it might not make more than a 1c temp difference at the max

Alright so just keep my current fan setup then. I was just wondering cause a video i saw from corsair said that the best performance is an intake but i have alot of fans in this. Well thanks!

best peformance: the difference of maybe 0.5 or 1 degree

Ah wow.. its just the marketing then. Okay thanks.

hint: theres a best answer button...i dare you to click it

well, technically its not completely marketing, after all, they want people to not complain when they use the h50 as their only exhause fan in a cheap crowded case, and think why are my temps not good. but in a well-cooled case its a non-issue

Yeah i see what you mean, and alright. There you go
