NEUTRAL PRESSURE case? :O

[Teemo4Life]

The corsair spec 03 has 6 fan positions that have to be neutral dosent it? The 2 in the front and the bottom intake. The two on the top and the back exhaust. Is neutral good or should I have the rest intake besides the one in the back as exhaust.

Ik I need fan filters but what if it doesn't come with slips or something that holds the filter in place? Sticky tape

two in the front and one in the back is fine

I watched that already. Even on vessel

2 front intakes, 1 rear exhaust, all you need. slightly positive is a bit better than straight neutral

Can the T4 fit in the corsair spec 03? I think it can. It can even fit the hyper 212. I can't believe there's 3 variants. 212/212+ and 212x

What about bottom and top.

What about bottom and top.

the one in the bottom may slightly help with GPU temps if a blower style. however, once a PSU is in there that space will be useless as it would be better used for bundling cables.

 

The top, I'd just let the slightly positive air pressure, and the fact heat naturally rises take care of it instead of spending an extra $40 on fans (I would use the top for a 240mm AIO though if that's what you're going with)

Was this on idle? Or was it stress tested.

What's AIO? Water cooling block.

Ok thanks, I'll save a lot of money now. But there's cable managment behind the case. If there were no cable there I would put a intake

Can the t4 fit in the corsair spec 03 and what's the clearance

Can the t4 fit in the corsair spec 03 and what's the clearance

spec 3 says it fits 157mm

the t4 is 152.3mm

so you'll have about 4.7mm of clearance, which is fine

Hyper 212?

[JebKerman]

Hyper 212?

nope, 159mm, couple of mm too tall, I can recommend the Cryorig H7 though, slightly better than the 212 and only 145mm tall (much better looking to boot)

Does that include the bulge. I think it does but there is a side panel window with a dent

I'm going off Corsair's spec sheet, so i'm not 100% certain, but looking at pictures the bulge actually doesn't stretch over the entire space a CPU cooler would occupy. So i'm guessing it isn't because a cooler wouldn't fit inside the bulge.

To be honest its impossible to get completely neutral pressure inside case. 2 in, 2 out with filters on intakes is negative since filters restrict airflow. Even without filters there are still obstacles like HDD cages. You are better off with 1 more intake fan than what you have as exhaust.
