Need help. Is this fan setup good?

JohnSmith756 · November 30, 2022

Got an aio and I'm debating if the way I installed it is good or not.

AIO Is at the front with 2 intakes, 1 top exhaust, 1 back exhaust and 1 intake at the bottom.

Is this setup good or not?

I am not sure how much air the bottom fan is pulling in as intake since it is right above the power supply. However, the rest of the fans are placed exactly as I would've placed them. If your case supports 2 fans on top you could use 2 exhaust up there and/or move the bottom fan a bit forward so it has access to more air.

Don't know what intake the one at the bottom is. All it's taking in is dust and nothing from the PSU that's blocking any airflow. That slot is only really usable if the psu itself exaust air out to the top, which already could be lukewarm (never actually tested how how PSU exhaust is, could be that there's no change).

If you have more intake that exit fans, it will create positive pressure, where air is being pushed out of tiny holes in cases, pretty much what you want. More exhausts than intakes, the tins uncovered/unfileted gaps will pull in air. Same for same is neutral, and there's nothing wrong with that.

In your case ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) it's alright, nothing to be worried about.
