Should I put my fans to cool or exhaust?

DAZA1116

I'm using the node 202 with the RX 480 reference model (in in order to bring heat out of my case, and it runs hot and loud af)and the gpu doesn't have 2 fans so means the I can put a fan on the node 202, but should I make air come in or exhaust the heat?

( I haven't build my PC yet, this is what I'm planning, feel free to recommend other things)

try intake first if you think the rx480 is enough for exuast.

 

But try it both ways and find out, the only real way to know for sure.

i7 6700k @4.8ghz 1.45v

ROG Maximus Hero VIII

Gigabyte G1 980ti Sli @1500 ghz

Samsung 950 pro 512gb

16gb G.Skill Ripjawz V @3400mhz 

Corsair H115i 280mm AIO

Corsair 400c Case

Corsair RM1000i

 

Backup/Older/Toys:

Intel i3 6100 @4.6ghz 1.52v

Asrock B150M Pro4/Hyper

Intel 750 series 400gb

Radeon Rx 470 XFX

Thermaltake Water 3.0 360mm AIO 

inWin 303 case

 

AMD Phenom II x4 940 @3.9ghz 1.65v

Gigabyte 780g mobo

Corsair H100 240mm AIO

Depends.

 

If your case have air clearance issues you should add a fan PUSHING air into the case. You probably should use a Static Pressure fan too ass your case is really small. You can't exhaust air if you don't have them.

 

Do the opposite if airflow is not a problem but I still recommend a intake Static Pressure fan as your case is really small.

AMD... no wonder your computer is going to be a toaster.

I hope you don't have an AMD CPU. (until the new ZEN doesn't make your PC become an oVEN)

 

Yeah i'm a little off topic, just wanted to see some AMD fanboys burning in rage... lol

The reason i have the RX 480 amd gpu is because is future proof, and i need a blower style gpu too get all the heat out lol, and i have an intel cpu
