airflow Yet another fan config question
4 hours ago, Seeks-Nom said:Anyone able to comment on the rear exhaust use? Because the cpu has 2 fans and is quite close to the rear anyways i feel rear exhaust may just be arbitrary. Or the cpu coolers exhaust fan might be arbitrary? Impression i get from the research i have done* ( *youtube videos) is that stacking 2 fans blowing in the same direction doesnt really make sense?????
Nah that rear fan does help tremendously.
It creates a low pressure zone that the CPU fan can blow into, so all that warm air is almost immediately blown out.
Remove that fan and the CPU fan will blow some air out, but since its just normal pressure there a lot of the hot air will collide with the back and be circulated into the PC.
But fluid dynamics are really hard to explain...
