Airflow advice - 6 fans

Go to solution Solved by SolarNova,

Untill you have a higher thermal load to deal with i wouldnt worry abut it. 6 fans infact is overkill for that system :)

 

What u have in the design is fine. Just ensure that any intake fans are filtered, and idealy the the fans with higher airflow should be intake, and the lower airflow fans exhaust, just to ensure you dont get negative pressure(dust).

Hello!  Can anyone help me with my cooling? 

I have a corsair 230T graphite case with 6 fans

-3 stock fans 12cm 

-3 Aerocool lightning fans 14cm

Specs: AMD R3 2200G

            GA-A350M-DS3H

            2x4GB 2666MHz ballistix sport

           (that's all) 

            PSU: 530watt Thermaltake SmartSE semi-modular 

            1 laptop sized SSHD, 1 full sized HDD 

 

P/H stands for PUSH, P/L for PULL. 

Red arrows = Aerocool fans

Blue arrows = stock fans

 

This is my current setup: 07-47.png.b51b92672ea54169ebdd110241d9b7d2.png

They will be mostly running at full molex speed until I buy a fan controller. I might overclock the iGPU slightly, so I don't want it hot in there considering my motherboard VRMs are not great. 

 

I'm not sure if it's well set-up so any advice would be appreciated

I will order some fan filters for that since there are only on the front :/ otherwise, I think the fans have pretty nuch the same speeds as far as I remember

With 65W TDP (+30W for everything else) you don't need 6 fans. With this case not having a sidewindows just don't buy 3 additional fans.

I have 300W heat and get rid of them in a more restricted case with 4 fans at 500 rpm. Just use the 3 stock fans (only 1 exhaust would also work).

It does have one small window. Thing is, I didn't buy these fans for this build, my budget used to be higher, but ended up getting this cheap setup
