first of all its every hot in my room sometimes i remove the side panel to let more hot air out now heres my fan settings

chassis : strike x one

1. top have 2x 12cm fan - both fan are blowing-out

2. rear have 1x H80i for cpu - both fan are blowing out while the opposite one are blowing hot air inside in my case im not sure if i should reverse this fan yeah this one of my little problem h80i is huge inside my case and below that is my Tri-X R9 290 this GPU is also huge which also giving additional heat inside my case which one of the reason why i open the side panel

3. side have 2x 12cm fan - blowing-in sometimes i removed this panel cause i though removing it would help letting the hot air out rather using this both fan to let the hot air out


im still planning to install front with blowing-in setting but im out of so called "converter/adapter" thing so any suggestion here? thanks

I have my h80i setup as exhaust and the side of my case off, with one 140mm fan on top blowing air down on my motherboard and GPU, and one 120mm intake on the front of my case to cool my drives. This setup works well for me as I found h80i intake made my case far too hot even with good ventilation.
