Should i remove top right exhaust fan?

[Radeuz]

You can see fan setup in case.                     

Is top right exhaust fan pulling fresh air coming from front top fan? Should i remove it soo CPU cooler can pull more air?

[emosun]

If the fans were capable of pulling so much air it left a vacuum of empty space then yes the top fan would be leaving an airless void the cpu would have needed.

However , these are just regular pc fans at normal earth atmospheres so you'll be fine.

if you have a I high end card new or old keep it if not remove it. the difference is small so if you like you case filled out keep it

[narrdarr]

that bottom fan is worthless tho

Might wanna take a look at this:

I'll go with unpopular opinion.

 

Fluid dynamics is a weird thing, so weird nasa built an aero tunnel for testing. But from what i see here you may 1. leave it as is - would help with pulling hot air out, tho it's not prectical there 2. remove it - still not practical

 

and 3. make it an intake fan- this would increase pressure right in front your cpu. Don't expect a world of difference but it may help. Maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

honestly all of this creates turbulences right in front of the cpu... its not a good thing, I would simply remove the right exhaust... this design doesn't really make sense (maybe for water cooling)

 

You indeed want the airflow to be like a wind tunnel... fast in fast out, it's kinda really simple  and "modern" case design often is more hindering than useful in this regard.

 

I randomly made this video recently,  and I think it visualizes the "wind tunnel effect" quite nicely,  even if you can't "see" the air. And yes, there are two noctua 120mm front intakes.

Arr, you win some you loose some

unless your pc is against the wall - then you need maximum circulation an upwards movement

so so... Do the smoke thing!

why aren't they on the cpu?

Yes, but why do that,  you're exhausting cool air (from the front) out of the case, makes zero sense for an air cooling setup.

They are?

I would... where do I get compact,  colored smoke though? Doubt cigarette smoke would do much

no? I said make it an intake. As of rn it is exhausting cold air out - that's what we  are trying to solve

Oh rly? Guess i am too used to seeing them in beige-brown style

Ye, an intake might help, i mean this is all rather simple to measure, thankfully!

Uh oh.  

 

 

I do like the grey ones tho also! (Redux)

What it has to do with RAM tho? Height?

[Rusty Proto]

I myself would potentially consider turning all the fans around--even the CPU cooler, considering your desk setup That would keep airflow about the same as designed, but in a reverse direction, as well as dumping cold air directly on top of the CPU cooler. 

[YoungBlade]

In the tests I did with my last computer, which had a similar setup, the direction of that fan changed nothing. Making it intake actually increased CPU temps by 1C, which is probably just margin of error, but could be that increasing the case pressure hurt the front intake fans' ability to pull in fresh air.

 

If you want to know for sure, I'd test it out to see for sure.
