I know a positive pressure in you case can help kwep the inside clean, but more air flow usally mean that you are removing heat better. -
I want to get the Inwin 101 to put my current build in, but I'm not sure how to configure the fans. I also want to upgrade my air cooler to a 240mm aio. The case has two front fans, 3 bottom fans, and an exhaust in the back. What's the best way to configure this case if I were to put the 240 aio on the front? System Specs: Ryzen 7 2700x Scythe Ninja 5 (soon to be a kraken x63 or x52, trying to see if the 280mm will fit) Gigabyte aorus elite b450 16gb 3000mhz corsair vengeance (upgrading to trident z rgb 3600mhz soon) Gtx 1070 blower style (basically got it for free from a package deal and it's definitely a step up from the 750ti I had in there previously) (wanting to get a 2070super soon) Evga SuperNOVA g3 650 80+ gold Recommendations?

Hello, I have Fractal Focus G computer case (https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/focus/focus-g/black/). There are total of 6 fans slots (if I counted good). I am planning to go with 6 fans 120mm: - 2x 120mm front (intake) - 1x 120mm bottom (intake) - 1x 120mm rear (outtake) - 2x 120mm top (outtake) + PSU fan is outtake also I wonder if this is a good setup for airflow and because of the static preasure? Should I replace some fans for 140mm, for example 2x 140mm VS 2x 120mm for front intake? Moreover, the GPU is MSI GTX 1080 (stock speed, no overclocking) and the CPU is Ryzen 5 3600 (stock speed, no overclocking, MBO is B450) with Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO on it. Thank you very much!

So I need help getting positive air pressure in my pc. Currently I have 2 140mm fans in the front for intake and 2 with the rad for the corsair hydro H100i V2 as exhaust on top and one exhaust on the rear. I'm not getting positive air pressure since I've put in my 2nd 980ti. I need help rearranging my fan set up.Also I'm thinking of buying the corsair SP120. Thinking of getting the high performance version for the front. having 3 of them, and the quiet version on the top and rear?

With the new video of the new sets being made, it made me wonder did they scrap the one year test for the air pressure? Here is the link of the video of luke setting up and how hes gonna test it but with all the new moving and dust being picked up and all, I dont see any news about it, yes i know that it hasnt been one year but if they move that much around it might make a bigger affect on the dust it will build up. plus from what im seeing they arent there anymore from the cleaning and the break down vids.

ok i need 2 fans one will have a hard drive cage in front of it the other will not have anything there. what fans are optimal? btw they are 140mm 1 air flow and 1 pressure, 2 air flow or 2 air pressure i would like a semi-quick response since i am going to buy the case and the fans in ca a week
-
So, I have two of the case fans (The front 2) connected directly to my motherboard and my rear and top exhaust fans connected to my PSU so i was wondering so all my fans run at full power all the time or just my or just the ones connected to my PSU? and would this be affecting the air pressure in my case?

Question: 3 NF-S12A's in vs 6 NF-F12's out = positive or negative air pressure What I am asking is, if I had 3 NF-S12A's (Airflow optimized fans) blowing in my case, and six NF-F12's mounted on radiators blowing out, would it result in positive or negative air pressure. Random: This should make no difference: the fans are all going to be from Noctua's Chromax lineup. Reason: Because people seem to want a reason, I am planning a PC-O11 Dynamic build, and I plan on having two 360MM radiators with NF-F12's, and I would like to know if 3 NF-S12A's would be enough (on the bottom) to create positive air pressure inside the case No big deal if it isn't, this is mostly out of curiosity. Also, is this the right category to post this under? -
So for the last few days I have been looking to find the best set up for my rig. I am liquid cooling both the CPU and GPU in a Fractal Design Meshify S2. The CPU is being cooled with a Kraken X72 and the GPU is being cooled with the Kraken G12 and a Kraken x62. I am also using Noctua NF12 fans for the X72 and NF14 fans for case and X62. I believe the best set up would be too use the X72 as an exhaust in a push configuration, and the X62 as a pull configuration front mount. As I believe the GPU will benefit from having direct access to cooler air from the front. Now I have tried to do a pull configuration with the X72 on top, however when I set it up Top Mounting it. Bolt--> Washer --> Bracket --> Fan --> Rad The bolt just barely sticks out of the bottom hole of the fan into the rad. To mount it I have to quite firmly push down in order to screw the bolt down. When it is attached I doubt it will fall, but I don't want to take a chance of bending the metal bracket by using to much force. Is it okay to do this? Or should I just stick with a push configuration? Also would this set up create positive or negative pressure? Any ideas on a better set up? X62 + 2 x 140 NF14 Front Mount Pull Intake 1 or 2 NF14 Bottom Mount Pull Intake X72 + 3 x 120 NF12 Top Mount Push Exhaust 1 NF14 Rear Mount Pull Exhaust I thought about bottom mounting the X62, but heard it is better to avoid that if possible? Would I be better off doing a push/pull on the X62 in front than having two fans as intake on the bottom? Also would it be better to have the GPU mounted in the front with the CPU as exhaust or vice versa? The X62 fits in the Top, Bottom, and Front, but on top it has to be set closer to the center than the rear. Also if I put it in front is it ok to have it more center mounted than right at the top? The front, bottom, and top have dust filters. With the Front and Top being ide tical in the second picture. Thank you for any help with this

As mentioned in the title, I would like to know if this case setup that I have in the works will lean more toward positive or negative air pressure. The circumstances are as follows: Case: Cooler master H500P Mesh Front Intakes: I'll be keeping the stock fans, which are two of these. The fans will intake air through the case's metal mesh front panel, as well as a dust filter glued to the back of the panel. That will negatively impact airflow, but I'm not sure by how much. That's why I'm having trouble determining if this setup will lean toward positive or negative pressure. Top Exhausts: I'm planning on two of these. The case's top accommodates three 120mm fans, three 140mm fans or two 200mm fans. I figured two 140mm fans would be the best choice here since any more than that may make the case lean too heavily toward negative pressure and going with 140mm fans lets me avoid potential compatibility issues with 200mm fans. Rear Exhaust: A single stock 140mm fan that rotates at 1200 RPM. Can't find a product page for the fan anywhere on Cooler Master's website, so I'm not sure what its purported CFM is.

As of late, I have been doing a lot of research on air flow within a case, and the aspect of case air flow that I'm looking into currently is air pressure. After learning about the differences between positive and negative air pressure, I believe that I want my case to err on the side of negative air pressure so that the chance of heat pockets forming within the case is reduced, even if I have to deal with more dust as a result. As far as I can tell, it is pretty simple to figure out whether your case leans more toward positive or negative pressure by analyzing just the case fans, but I would like to know how other fans within the case, such as the PSU fan, GPU fans and CPU heatsink fans affect air pressure as well. Do those fans need to be taken into consideration too, or is air pressure established solely by the case fans? -
Hi all, long time admirer, first time poster here. Have a build inside my NZXT S340 (i5-7600k OC 5GHz, MSI Z270 Tomahawk, CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Red LED, MSI GTX 980ti Gaming 6GB, 2 x 8GB Corsair vengeance DDR4 2400MHz RAM, 240GB SSD, 2TB HDD, 600W PSU) and I’m noticing my CPU temps are getting a bit high (40-50c when idle). I appreciate that the S340 isn’t the best when it comes to airflow, but I’m just wondering if my fan config is helping or hindering the situation. Currently I have 2 140mm Corsair AF fans in the front, 1 120mm Corsair AF Fan on the top and one on the rear (both exhausting). After doing some reading I can see that this is leading to positive air pressure rather than negative, potentially leading to the higher temps. I’m tempted to switch one of the 140mm fans for the top 120mm in an attempt to rebalance the air pressure but I don’t know which one of the two front fans to switch (top or bottom). Also, I have a couple of the 140mm SP fans as well and I was thinking of putting that up top to exhaust as with the higher pressure output of that fan it might help to rebalance the pressure? All help and advice is greatly appreciated!

Right now I have a H500m case holding a 2080 (triple fan) and a 9900k cooled by a clc 280. Currently the clc 280 is blowing air in through the radiator at the top and 2 200mm fans at the front are blowing air in. The only fan blowing out is the back 140mm exhaust fan. Is this too much positive air pressure and should I flip the clc fans to pull air out of the case? Which would be better for temperatures and in general?
-
I want to put 6 fans in my 465x but im worried that ill get negative air pressure above the psu shroud because i think the air beeing sucked in by the bottom fan will be split in half (attachment). I hope you understand what i mean.

Hi guy. its my first build i've bought cheap used parts except case and PUS coz i thought if anything go south that won't be a big deal. i'm not new in PC gaming but before this i was used to buy branded ones put a GPU and play. now i'm just wondering either i put fans correctly or not! case is carbide Spec-01 GTX-750ti Gigabyte and CPU cooler is hyper 212 plus all the fans are running at 1800RPM. Please advise.

I have a nzxt s340 elite and was wondering what is the best setup to get positive air pressure with only space for 4 fans. Right now I have 2x140mm fans sucking air in from the front and pushing it through a radiator (kraken x62) and 2x120mm fans (one in the back and one in the top) as exhaust. Is this enough or should I flip the top fan? Btw I'm using the fans that came with the radiatior and case, so would it be a good idea to keep the orientation and just change the fans for some noctua nf-f12/nf-f14 fans?

Wondering what would happen if I had an exhaust, then an intake, then an exhaust on a 360mm top mounted radiator for an AIO. -
So I have plans to build a gaming PC from scratch, by buying the parts individually instead of in a pre-built system, and I have come across a problem. In my build, the case I am using is a Corsair 450D Mid Tower, which has 3 fans installed already, two in the front and one in the rear. I plan to add a all in one cooler to the top of the case (The radiator), the Corsair H110i 280mm Water Cooler is what I have chosen. Although this seemed like a great plan at first, I ran into an issue. In my setup, I want a positive or neutral air pressure/flow through out my case, and from what I can tell, with the two fans in the front pushing air in, 1 at the back and 2 at the top (Radiator) pulling air out will create a negative air pressure/flow. Although, I am not very knowledgeable on this topic.......... So I was wondering if I needed to add an additional fan to make the air pressure/flow positive or neutral? Thanks in advance, DarkenedNovaBlade. P.S, I have linked a copy of my build to the website which I am building it on, which is PCCG (PC Case Gear). https://www.pccasegear.com/wish_lists/632379

Hi guys, I need some extra cooling for my 4790k. Not delided(don't have guts to open it ) So thermals should be optimized outside the CPU package. For now. It's operating at 4.6GHz / VID 1.285v with LLC 5%. High voltage for an air cooler but Venomous does its job. Kinda barely. The existing fans are operating at 800~1000RPM. They're 3pin though. Also I used Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut for maximum thermal conductivity. All in all, I need 4pin PWM fan with decent air pressure. My tolerable RPM is 2000ish at 100% load. And will be two fan setup obviously. Any suggestions for decent fans?

I just built my first rig using a Phanteks Enthoo Luxe case. I'm using a Corsair H100i GTX cooler in a pull setup at the top, and a gtx 980ti hybrid also in pull, both are exhausts as well. I removed the 200mm fan and replaced it with the two 140mm fans that were the original exhaust fans. I've also removed the bottom hard drive cage to reduce resistance. I'm not obsessive about keeping my system silent so I have all of my fans (that I can controll) at full speed So I'm looking for advice on achieving positive are pressure while maintaining full fan speed, even of that means buying different fans. The pic is from before I actually removed the bottom cage and switched the intake fans.

Hey Guys, I've done an airflow analysis on the nzxt s340, which has space for up to 4 fans. I don't know if it's right, that's why I'm asking you. If I put a 280 mm rad in the front (which has 2 x 140 mm fans), 1 x 120 mm fan in the rear and 1 x 120 mm fan at the top, will I get a negative air pressure? I've been working with the information that even if there are 2 x 140 mm fans on a 280 mm rad, that the airflow is reduced by half due to the radiator. By that logic, the two fans on the rad would bring the same result as one single fan. With that in mind, will a 280 mm rad (potential airflow of one fan) and 2 other fans result in a negative air pressure? Or is the information that I gathered about the radiator, that the airflow is cut by half, false? P.S the fans on the 280 rad are set as intake, the two other 120 mm fans are set as exhaust

Any suggestions on how to configure my current components for positive air pressure? I know I am not configured like that now and could use some advice on an optimal setup. Below is my current config. Case: be quiet Silent Base 800 (no window; has 1 fan mount on each side panel, both are filtered) Intake (front - filtered): 2 be quiet Pure Wings 2 Exhaust (unfiltered): 2 Corsair SP120Ls (top; h100i) 1 be quiet Pure Wings 2 (rear exhaust) PSU Fan (bottom filter): Corsair AX860i Fan facing down

Im going to be building my first pc in a couple of months and I have a question about the air pressure. I have decided to go with a positive air pressure setup and I need to recommendations for fan setups. Here is my part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bj9YsY The case I will be using is a Cooler master Mater case 5 Pro which has space for either 2 or 3 140mm front fans, 2 140mm top fans and 1 140mm rear fan. Since I will be using positive air pressure my question is, what is the best fan setup to get the best results. I came up with this setup, 3 intake at the front and 1 exhaust in the rear causing the hot air to leave through the rear and empty top vents. I am also taking suggestions for other setups and if you also use positive are pressure setup with the same fan setup please leave a comment below and tell me how affective it is. Thanks BTW I will also be using a Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler which has 2 fans blowing towards the rear exhaust fan, will that some how alter the air pressure and/or disrupt the airflow?

Okay so I'd like to explain something that is crucial: The push pull is not for a radiator!!! What I mean by this is having the one fan at the back of the top panel exhausting the heat from the mobo and cpu, and the one at the front of the top panel acting as an intake. The reason I am contemplating this is because my case (Bitfenix Shinobi XL) chokes the front intake fan, that has little static pressure due to its humongous size (230mm). When I take off the front panel, I notice considerably more airflow out the exhaust fans (right now a 140mm in the back, and 2 x 230mm on top, both exhausting.) I realize I can mitigate this by taking off the front panel, however I'd like to keep it there because it's very good looking. SO would it be okay to reverse the front-most top fan to be an intake rather than an exhaust? Is there something I am not considering? Because I feel as if this would greatly balance my cases airflow, which is very negative right now (3 high CFM exhausts, vs. 1 High static pressure 120mm on the bottom and a choked high airflow in the front). Thanks!!
