Check my case airflow please

[name66]

Hello, could you please check my h500i airflow . Cpu is going to be i9 9900K and cooler Be Quiet! Dark Rock pro 4. Gpu ASUS strix GTX 1080ti. Two front fans are: 140mm intake ( I put them on the other side of the mounting rack - that way they got 5more cm to breath. Back fan is 120mm exhaust. Do you think its worth to replace top exhaust fan with 140mm one ? Thank you in advance

The Dark Rock will maybe block the top fan cause its so big

Its not about will fit it will block the airflow to the top fan  the fins of the cooler are going the other way so the top fan will be kinda useless and loud if it cant really pull air

ok so you think it would be better without top fan ?

Ye your case is just to small for that and ur airflow will be better without it anyway the cpu fans will push the air straight out with the back fan anyway

should be i just noticed that u maybe could put 2 fans on the bottom is that right ? cause that woud help getting out the gpu heat so it does not have to pass to the cpu fan

yes I could place there 2x 120 mm fans this way -> picture. Not underneath the cage,  there would be no space because of psu

If u put the psu in is there still a way for the air to get out ? putting fans there would help alot cause u would pull out the gpu heat so it does not reach the cpu cooler

Still waiting for psu to arrive but as I measured it there should be 1,5cm clearance for the fan above the psu and 10cm for the other

mhh idk if it works in your case  i would just use the 3 fans u have right now and if ur temps would be bad cause of gpu heat u can still try adding the 2 down there

Just use the provided 2 fans as exhaust. That case is meant to be used as negative pressure, adding more fans doesn't do much (tho you can replace the included fans with something better)
