help Air Flow Help

Hey party people. I've not had a case for a long time. (I've used a Thermaltake core P3 for ever)

I'd what airflow pattern to go with tbh. All fans will be Lian Li fans, normal and reverse bladed. 

Thank you.

Option A is usually the better one.

 

As for the push/pull thing, it doesn't matter. In some edge cases, push is the worse one, but you shouldn't worry about it.

Cheers, I didn't know if pulling hot air in would mess up the GPU cooling too but tbh it has 3 fans intaking directly into the GPU intake fresh filtered air so I assume it's ok. 

Looks like my new CPU is gonna run hot based on it's TDP

I'd go with option A; ideally you want more air going into the case than out for positive pressure.

Cheers I appreciate that, I was leaning on A but I wasn't sure about drawing heated air in and if you get worse cooling with drawing air through rather than pushing out. 

And wasting the fans from the AIO but TBF I can use those on the 2 exhaust fans on the back.

I would do A with 2x sets of fans in push/pull.

I think the amount of air you will replenish/exchange inside the case would negate any possibility of drawing heated exhaust air back into the case. The case appears to be on top of a desk and not in any confined space so I don't think this will be an issue.

This is actually a picture I found online but Is the case and fans I'm getting, It'll be on a deck and the desk isn't against like a wall or anything so I think It'll be okay

Oh ok I get the "picture" of how you're going to orient it haha. You'll be fine with option A.
