Airflow advices

Go to solution Solved by mr fobs,

Typically that case comes  2 fans in the front, did you get one that doesn't come with the included front fans?

 

Either way, I would at least get 2 front fans and have 1 exhaust out the back. Its a mesh front panel, so have front fans to blast cool air in is optimal. The top fans are optional, those would also be exhaust.

Hello everyone.

 

I am currently building a new pc and i have some question's in terms of airflow.

 

The case i bought is a : CoolerMaster MasterBox MB311L

 

The current case does not have any fans in the front. Only one exhaust on the back.(Also the only fans that this case fits is 120mm)

 

I've heard that even the PSU fan can make a difference in terms of positive and negative pressure so here's my question.

 

If i get 2 intake fans, will the air pressure be "neutral" or do i have to get another one in order to achieve positive air pressure?

Unfortunately, i bought the case without the fans because for some reason the case with the RGB fans was not available. But are there any good 120mm fans in the market that are not too expensive but get the job done? I was thinking about these CoolerMaster fans CoolerMaster MasterFan MF120 Halo ARGB
