Bitfenix Phenom Case ideas?!

Evanwells2 · July 25, 2015

I built an amazing little Micro atx build consisting of a Gtx 980 ti SC as well as a i7 4790k processor and am looking for some cool ideas regarding customization and cooling. Right now I have a 140mm intake St the back, 120mm intake on the bottom, and a 120mm exhaust at the top. The power supply fan blows out the front of the case also potentially acting as an exhaust. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions!

I'd swap that bottom fan around, keep in mind that heat goes up and you want the cool air from below. Just make it look tidy and organized, always works best with making computers look good internally.

Passive heatsink on a small case? I would put a fan on it and let it run at slow RPMs at least, gives you more control over temps. Can you add a second top fan and invert the airflow (top intake, btm and PSU exhaust)? Convection doesn't matter much in SFF builds, and IMO the most fans the better since you reduce dead spots and you can run them at lower RPMs.

*By the way, your build is totally fine, i'm being picky cause you asked for suggestions but unless you get high temps it looks fine to me
