Newbie Direction Question

SexySuperVillain · May 23, 2020

I just recently finished my first build and would like to get optimal airflow. I have 3 120mms on the front of the case (the case is the ASUS TUF Gaming GT-501 Mid-Tower), 1 140mm in the back, and 3 120mms on the top. I currently have the front on intake, the back on exhaust, and the top on exhaust. Is this good or should I alter the positions for airflow? Thanks!

That's pretty good, a bit on the negative pressure side but I think you're good.

As long as enough air is going through your Case, you shouldnt have to worry. LTT did a video Testing different setups and I remember seeing that positive/negative pressure didnt have much difference in dust-accumulation. If the temps stay cool during load, you should be fine, if not, make the Fan-Curve a bit more aggressive. Have fun with your build!
