Negative pressure cooling setup

[euviridis]

Hi guys, I have some of questions to ask regarding fans in general and the negative pressure setup.

I have never bought any third party fans, usually I just use the one included in the case, but now I want to take my cooling system seriously since I overclock my CPU.

Okay here's the questions.

1. I used to have fans with molex connector, but 3rd party fans use different connector, is it the same the heatsink one? If yes, then looking at my motherboard, it doesn't have much slots there, I think only one left and it said "SYS_FAN"  what should I buy if I want to connect 5 fans?
2.For the negative pressure cooling, should I go with higher static pressure or higher airflow? or combination of both ? Where should I put the one with high pressure and where should I put the one with high airflow?

3.Since I will be taking air from the bottom part of my case, should my PSU fan facing bottom part of the case or up?

By the way, my case has 5 120mm slots, 1 in the bottom, 1 in front, 1 rear, and 2 on the top.

Thanks!

What case are you using?

 

You should be able to use a couple of standard fan splitters to run all the fans off of the motherboard connectors.

 

I'm not sure about the other two questions.

Get a Fan Splitter, to run more fans,

High Static fans are for heatsinks and radiators, maybe some cases with very little air intake, get air flow fans

I would face to PSU fan down so it has its own air

First off, welcome to the forum!

1. You could get a PWN splitter like this one

or you could get a "splitter box" which comes with some cases/motherboards.

2. If you aren't watercooling and there isn't much in the way of your fan, e.g. drive cages, go with airflow. If you're watercooling or the fan intakes are quite obsturcted go with SP fans. 

 

3. Make your PSU face down (so it exhausts the air out of the case).

I'm using local case from my country, maybe it's an OEM from other case but here it is.

is the fan splitter look like this? Then I should search for the one with 1to5 splitter?

I'm using stock cooler for my CPU now, I think it still runs ok with peak stress testing with prime at 85C (Or is it not?)

If i dont use radiators and cpu cooler heatsinks, then where should I put the high static pressure fans?

OH you already bought them I see, not that big of a deal, just use them evenly distributed.

Can I use splitter in the CPU_FAN ? and plug 1 cpu heatsink fan to the splitter, is it ok?

because I think I'm gonna be using the SYS_FAN and the CPU_FAN.

You could in theory. Not sure if you can control them separately. I would just split from a normal fan header and just leave the CPU fan header be.
