help with airflow (im a noob)

hey guys, ive recently installed a corsair h55 on my gpu with the kraken g10, i need help optimizing airflow as the only place in my case i could mount it was in the back (clearence issues with the top rad slots). i have 2 intake fans in the front, which i was thinking i could turn into export fans, as i have the rad in the back pushing in air. I was also thinking i could keep the front ones as intake (as there a bitch to access) and turn my side fan (which i dont really need for intake cooling anymore now that gpu is water cooled) into my only export fan. I'm sorta new and I'm sure you guys have better ideas than me, so ide appreciate your input! my case is a corsair 550 t, i have a cpu that is not liquid cooled.

Make your rad an exhaust, and keep the two front as intake. Remove the side fan as well, not needed anymore.

 

that will give you positive air pressure inside the case to help w/ dust, and the one less fan will make it that much quieter.

Wht he said

24 fps for that "cinematic" feel


After a couple weeks of behavioral sciences at my school I can easily conclude my parents need to grow up.
