Changing case, air flow question

[andreajl]

Hello everyone,

i'm changing my case from a CM HAF XB Evo to a NZXT Source 340, mostly because i wanted to change the looks of my setup from a box to a tower.

 

Currently i'm using 2 noctua 140 mm fans in the front of the HAF blowing over a Scythe Mugen 4 (fitted with 2 120mm fans itself)

 

I will move these to the front of the NZXT but i'd like to add one exhaust fan since i have the space.

I can go with 1x120 in the back and a straight airflow path

or i can go with a 1x140 in the top and a 90 degree angled airflow path

 

I'm not really sure there will be any difference but i was wondering what you'd think about it.

 

Thanks

honestly doesnt matter too much as far as temps will go but i like my exhausts on the top personally to help repel dust

good point, i didn't think of it, will most likely set it up like this.

 

i'm worried it will become a warm resting spot for my cat

cats love sitting on top of pcs.... maybe you should put it on the rear before you have no exhaust lol

if i get an industrial line fan maybe i'll get enough air pressure to lift him slightly off the top
