Prodigy M SLI AF OR SP fans at the top ?

[Dasizzle]

Hello. i am very much aware that a typical airflow in the prodigy m is intake from the top and exhaust from the button.
i want to run 2x 770's in there. on a gene vii. should i god with sp fans blowing Straight to to videocards or should i put AF fans at the top  just blowing air all over the place? the space is rather restricted.    my only worry with PS fans is that is would make a lot of turbulens when the  are mounted so close to the top videocard.  

Thx guys.  really my first post here.

i would wait 2 weeks and buy 2x 970s

Agreed. I wish they'd drop the 780's down below 400

you already have the case? if not dont buy it... its not a very good or fun case i bough a new case and threw mine out a week after i did my build in it.

^^ easy to carry? better make some handle covers because its not very light and those things cut into your hands, also there are better cases that you can in a few minutes attach a handle to with a drill and 2 bolts and screws.

 

but cases are very personal so give it a go

I'm going for a Bitfenix Prodigy M as well, and I do plan to use two SP fans for the top intake

What is the difference between SP and AF? Or are those just brand names? I was thinking of getting a BitFenix Prodigy too, the m-ITX, but now that I see your build I think I want the M for the extra video card slot.

 

I was fine with the m-ITX because I wasn't planning on getting 2 graphics cards since the increase in performance doesn't scale as well, and by the time I want to upgrade my graphics, I can just replace the card on the m-ITX.

 

Also can you fit an optical drive in there with those two long cards?

AF is airflow optimized, SP is static pressure. In the case of Corsair fans, both suck.

 

AF fans will be ideal, higher pressure won't help you much in pull. But some Enermax TwisterPressure fans would do nicely all around. Great airflow and pressure.

 

Although there really isn't much room there for fans with SLI. At least with the gap setup in the picture.
