Can you help me create airflow

[Stonehencs]

Hello!

 

I have a Genesis 700 case with 5 fan slots. So far I had 3 factory fans but they don't provide any airflow so I bought a 5pcs fan kit and I don't know how to position it to suck air in and blow air out.

Can you help me?

Case fans at the front = intake

Case fans at the back of the case = exhaust.

Case Fan on top of the CPU cooler = exhaust.

Case fan at the top of the case on top of rams = can be intake or exhaust, I personally like to have all my top fans as exhaust in full tower cases.

 

PS: you might have your rams in single channel mode and that will have a noticeable impact on your performance.

Sorry, but I can't help you with your original question but in response I have a question of my own.  Where did you get that fan support?  That's nice and I like it a lot more than the support that came with the case I have.

 

As for the fans, I have the exact same type of setup that you have.  Two in the front, one on the back, and two on the top.  Different case but the same fan setup.  Yea, really like that GPU support, got to tell me where you got that.  I have never seen one like it before.

Probably 3d printed

I printed it in 3d but I just managed to roll it out to get one more turn and it's out of the thread. Here is the link: https://grabcad.com/library/adjustable-gpu-support-column-1

Many thanks for your response.  Guess i need to start saving for the 3d printer then.  Thanks again.

I had a 3-4 degree temp drop on my CPU under full load by placing my top front fan into intake and the rear top in exhaust vs both exhaust.

 

Hot GPU air was getting pulled up into the CPU cooler.

 

You might want to experiment with options. I like to stay positive pressure, I've noticed air pushes out of the empty pcie bracket slots on my case and it's always very warm air from the GPU.

 

I've also had good luck using black duct tape to seal the edge of my fans for better airflow and to prevent the air from short cycling and actually pull in new air and force out old air. A lot of front fans don't pull air into the case well because they are just open frames on all sides that the fans mount to, so the air will just blow around the fan and not into the case and through the fan, if that makes sense.

 

I don't have a glass side panel though so I don't care too much about what things look like on the inside.
