PC Casse Airflow (Corsair 450D)

Hi guys,

I want to ask You if this setup which I created is as good as I think it is. Does the air flows right or it creates a dead area in front of the CPU heatsink? And is it better if the top intake is a SP fan to cool the ram or better to put AF in there? Blues are or intake, reds for exhaust.

If your trying to move air through a grill, mesh, radiator or heatsink, a static pressure fan will be ideal for the job.

if your just moving air then a airflow fan is what you need

I know what they do :) Im just concerned about the air creating a dead spot in front of the CPU heatsink, then Im asking if this setup is OK, which fan is better cooling ram and rest of the mobo compenents more widely or put a SP and go straight through the ram (this creates a probabilty of air not going in the intended direction) or should I completely resign from the top intake?

Maybe if you have that top intake fan push more air into the case than the exhaust fan right next to it, then it would be a bit more positive to prevent that "dead spot".

I'm not sure if the top 120mm intake is a good idea. It might end up recycling the same air with the fan to the left. The rest looks fine. 

Moved to Air Cooling.
