Custom case and air flow advise

[demondeader]

Hi all 

 

I am building a case from scratch (apart form the MB tray) out of 2 mm aluminium

This is going to be the cpu and gpu underwater with a Pacific DP100-D5 Plus Distro-Plate with Pump Combo next to triple fans at the front.

240mm rad top and bottom.

 

PSU and storage are behind the MB tray

 

What would be the best air flow combo at the moment the thought is in from the front and bottom and out through the back and top 

however would having the top as intake as well be better

 

all thoughts and ideas welcome

 

Key 

Red  = MB tray

Gold = GPU

blue = Distro pump combo

All in except for the back. Make sure the back has as many holes as possible and do not add a fan there the pressure is more than enough.

 

Basically the best setup as if in a o11 dynamic.

would that not just pull in heat to the case from the top as hot air rises?

the fan port are pretty much going to be open air and all the fans so air flow show not be an issues

Fan will be CM SickleFlow 120 V2 (62cfm 2.5mmH2O) so should be fine

The moment you have even the weakest mechanical airflow natural air convection stops doing anything.

 

I don't recommend those fans. The arctic p series is A LOT better for a lot less money. The sickleflows are usually at the worse end of the fan specturm and are not good value for what you get.

Interesting I have not heard any bad about them. 

 

I will look them up

The scikleflows aren't bad just outclassed by basically anything in their pricerange in terms of performance and silence. So in terms of value they kinda really suck.
