K280 Cooling Solution.

[Sir Asvald]

I made a topic about thing a long time ago, but I can't find the post. 

 

 

I've got a K280 which is an okay case, I've got 3 fans one in the front, side panel fan and and rear exhaust. Now, what's the best cooling solution?

 

Any push or pull? 

 

This is the case.

front and side intake, exhaust out the back.

front and side intake, exhaust out the back. 

Depends on the GPU, side can also be exhaust.

was thinking of that, but that would be negative pressure and asking for dust. I figured the TINY temp difference would be irrlevent over dust build up.

If the GPU intakes air then intake on the side is OK, though if it's an exhaust fan then you should NOT have the side as an intake and vice versa. Not best for airflow.

snip strip and flip

Two fans at the front and one at the back should be good. Front = intake, back = exhaust

-mad editing skills yo-

id recommend picking up a hyper 212 or something similar. even without overclocking, it will help temps, direct heat out, and make your pc MUCH quieter.

Case only supports 1 fan in the front..

 

EDIT What about the side fan as pull?

Case only supports 1 fan in the front..

Then 1 fan at front intaking air, one intaking on side and one exhausting out back.

The side fan, push or pull?

[STRMfrmXMN]

The side fan, push or pull?

It should be an intake fan. 

[Sir Asvald]

It should be an intake fan. 

So, should the fan this side 

 

OR this side for the intake

 

[STRMfrmXMN]

So, should the fan this side 

 

 

 

This part of the fan should face the exterior of the case.

[Sir Asvald]

This part of the fan should face the exterior of the case.

Thanks for you help.

Thanks for you help.

No problem! Remember, that is for the side panel, right? That side is the face where air is taken in. If putting it at the back of the case make sure that part of the fan faces the inside of your case

like this? Sorry for bothering you.

If that is the side panel then yes, that is correct
