Fan orientation?
33 minutes ago, Sprawlie said:Sure
But i never said it was a "sealed box".
I said that with mostly sealed sides, the sides that are opened, or cases that are primarily only fan openigns that have fans in them, are not sufficient airflow
it was the people who decided to respond in mockery who implied that i was calling it a "sealed box"
no shit it's not sealed. there are gaps. None of these cases are hermetically sealed, nor did I say that at any point. That was the counter they tried to use to discount what I said.hence my frustration with you doubling down on it.
These cases that I have outlined have poor airflow openings for positive pressure to sufficiently provide enough openings for the hot air to exhaust. Completely different in a case that is mesh sided or with giant airflow openings around it. Cases like the O11, NZZT 510 are examples I've given where the majority of the case is "sealed" in that it's not a mesh case, nor does the sides that are "sealed" intend to provide airflow.
The ONLY poster who ever actually used the term "sealed box" was you.
Take it easy. We are having mature discussion here.
Yes, I'm the one calling it sealed box. After you claimed falsely that bringing cool air constantly in would eventually cause case to heat up. Claiming the reason to be "pressure". But I think we have gone over that argument enough.
It's not the core thing for this thread.
To OPs question. I don't think changing direction of the front most top fan would provide any meaningful improvement to your overall cooling performance. The air cooler itself becomes bottleneck first. With AIO you have more body to sank heat into. With custom loop even more than that.
As I think you have filled this case with fans more for the looks than actual performance, I would say that turning power on that front most top fan to minimum is the best solution. Keep it looking nice while affecting least to end results.
