NZXT H440 airflow

Go to solution Solved by Fredrikmikael,

simple. #1 for air cooling. #2 for watercooling.

 

 

The front fans are hindered by the filter, thus it wont create positive pressure, if you have three intakes and three exhausts. I was debating over this in my thread for my H440 and got recommended this - Leave the front as intakes, top as exhaust and flip the rear to intake as well (just put a filter there) - THAT will be positive pressure ;)

 

Allright, changed the rear fan to intake.

Thanks for the help :)

Hello there! :)

What would be best?

 

The three intakes have a dustfilter on them (the one in the back doesn't) but it will be positive pressure

Running a 240mm radiator AIO on the top (Fractal Design Kelvin S24)

So basicly for the lowest CPU Temps, what would be best?

I would recommend buying a dust filter for the intake. Silverstone makes some for like $8
