My ( future ) NZXT X61 and air presure.

[mitchelbax]

Hi guys!

I have some questions about my fan setup,

So here we go:

How do i need to setup my ( stock NZXT X61 ) fans on the radiator?

Do i have negative or positive air presure?

Planning to put the 2 noctuas as intake on the front and the AF140 as exhaust on the back, rad fans depend on question above!

Here is my pcpartpicker list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mjM6gs

And while you're there, mind giving me a quick review on my pc? ( im a noob at this )

Thanks for your time! Consider it Well spend!

Love!

either use the bottom mounts (dont know if the luxe supports a 280 rad there) if the tubes reach, or just put it at the top  but if you go with the top you would have negative pressure, if you then want positive you d have to ramp the speed on the front intakes up.

 

and yeah nice rig

you could put the rear af140 as an intake ? And have the fronts as intake also. So you would have air coming from the front and back and going out the top

Is it better to mount my fans under my rad as exhaust in push or above it as exhaust in pull?

if you put it as exhaust in the top. If you put the fans on top of the rad it will be easier to clean dust out of the rad
