Intake/exhaust

[Daniel123dk]

Im going to order a bunch of noctua fans for my pc.

Ive decided to go with the nf-12's and nf-a14'S. The case im using is a corsair air 540.

The plan is to fit 3 nf-f12's in the front as intake, 2 nf-a14's on top as exhaust and push/pulling my corsair h55 with 2 nf-f12's in rear which will be exhausting.

My Question here is, will my airflow be okay, like neutral or what do you think?

Thanks! :-)

May I recommend EK Vardars instead? A bit better and much more stylish.

Im afraid that im already in love with the Noctuas :-)

(..) butt on two times.

 

Yeah, that does happen sometimes.

 

On a more serious note: With that fan setup you'll have negative pressure in your case. There's nothing principally wrong with that, and it would work, but most people (Linus included) would advice positive pressure instead, as it helps prevent the buildup of dust.

Hmm, i just cant make it better with the fan locations i got in My system, i Think.

If you have at better solution, please tell me! :-)

I would use the top fans as intake fans instead, although I know there are people around here who advocate having a rear intake instead, which would be closer to a balanced setup in this particular case, but since the rear of the case is probably not filtered, it's also not ideal...

So, 3xnf-f12 in front as intake, 2xnf-a14 in top as intake and 2xnf-f12 in rear as exhaust?

Don't take my word as gospel, but yes, that is how I would do it.

Well i might do That, or i could spin the front fans a little faster than the top one?

i would add an extra intake on the side mount (if you have one) and not spend more than 10 bucks on it. it's only purpose woul be to increase air pressure.
