Just wandering in this setup:

is the radiator a problem? The R5 doesnt have a proper intake around the ODD area so will it effect temps? Doesn't even look like it'll get air.

That's basically my only cercern i just want the top 3 closed, and 3 bottom drives..

Why not get a define S? I have 5 drives (2 SSDS + 3 HDDS) and all the cooling I could need with the top vents closed.

you have no airflow in the case. air needs to go in one direction, but you have intakes on opposite side. they work against each other and cancel each other out. the classic path is intake on the front and at the bottom and exhaut at the back and on top.

what are you talking about, wont it intake from the front and exhaust the heat from the back?

 

edit: I understand now, the image should have the back as 'exhaust', sorry
