Airflow question

Yuval

I have a really wierd setup when it comes to the airflow of my case just wanted to know how bad is it, or good.

 

 

Basicly i have 2 140mm fans in the front, no HDD bays covering them on low RPM so they basicly make no noise, intaking.

 

The wierd part is, there are no dedicated exhaust fans, and no place for air to escape (sort of)

 

 

My case is the define R4, with all moduvents installed.

 

The only places where the air escapes are the top 140mm fan, which is inhabited by a Noctua F12 on my Corsair H60, and my reference 780 Ti, which intakes the are and pushes most of it out of the case. Could include the PSU fan, but it doesn't spin up mostly.

 

Is this going to be good enough airflow for my system? I think so as most parts don't heat the air within the case much, but directly exhaust the heat out.

Could you post a picture? 

 

If temps are ok i wouldn't worry to much about it.

I ran a r4 with just the 2 intakes and the exhaust in the back.  it was fine.  

It had 2 7870's and a cooler master 212 on a amd fx 4100  overall temps were fine even in the summer.

That's totally fine! Your build won't really get heat, cause only thing making "lots" of heat is GPU.

 

Another PLUS of your setup is that it doesn't eat dust through random holes in the case ;)
