New case fan layout

[aidenrelkoff]

So my case (enermax ostrog) has a 120mm exhaust and 6 other places to mount a fan. in this case there really is not an issue with postivie or negative air pressure as i will only be using 2-3 of the fan mounts and the others are not filtered and free flowing.

 

So what im thinking is i could keep the all ready placed 120mm exhaust fan beside the IO shield slot. Add my cooler master 120mm blue LED fan on the front in taking air and put my 92mm blue led fan on the side panel in taking air.

 

So this way i have one 120mm intake and 92mm intake, and one 120mm exhaust with the other 4 120/140mm & ventalation holes are not used for anything.

 

Rectangles are fans, arrows are airflow. the fan in the center is going to be siliconed onto the side panle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Does this all look good?

92mm will be loud

Looks fine, not sure if there are 92mm fan holes on the side panel though

92mm will be loud

it is

 

Looks fine, not sure if there are 92mm fan holes on the side panel though

there is accually another set of screw holes on the side panel, but if they dont work, then ill just silicone it to the 120mm spot

I've got the same case, and I've been looking for places to put fans in it to improve air flow. All I've got in it right now is the rear exhaust fan and blue LED Cooler Master fan on the side window/panel for exhaust.

So these plans might help me a bit, thanks

if you really want to improve the overall cooling of that layout, make the front

intake (filtered) and convert the roof to intake (purchase filters) and allow the

rear i/o as exhaust and the rest of the case can naturally exhaust through the

rear i/o and PCI slots. if not enough air is coming out the rear PCI slot covers,

remove slot covers. the front looks to be really restrictive with the smallish

under-lipped opening for air intake. so to improve the internal cooling

(air cooling/AIO) benefits to make more air available for cooling purposes.

 

because the front is limited (HDD cooling(?) you really have no other intake

availability. the side panel venting would work for GPU(s) using a custom

fan setup (windforce, DCUII, etc..). the upper side panel fan will just get sucked

out the rear i/o fan and not leave any for CPU cooling.

 

just something to try, because what you have now really isn't top-notch for cooling.
