As the title suggests, I need help with getting the airflow in my new rig case to be good.

I will post the specs of the rig if they are needed but I think they're irrelevant so I'm not posting them now.

 

Heres a sketch of how it kinda looks like in the case (beware, horrible MS Paint stuff):

Thanks in advance!

Is the computer on carpeting? Also, the arrow should be facing the opposite direction for the PSU sense the main fan is for intake.

Front fans intake rear fan exhaust. /thread :P Unless you have a AIO cpu cooler then exhaust out the top of the case intake stays the same.

Thanks for the quick replies!

I did the cable managment as best I could in regards that the PSU is not a modular one.

What I was wondering about is that once the GPU heats up it kind of just throws hot air upwards and also the hot air travels upwards too I believe, so I thought that front intake back exhaust wasn't gonna be sufficent.

And no, the case is not on a carpet it has its own place being lifted a few inches above the floor.

As I said, I apologize for the horrible sketch I just kind of did it as fast I could.

 

Thanks again!
