Positive Pressure or nah?

nichtJust

Simple question:

I am using Antec TrueQuiet 140mm(red arrows) a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 (green arrow) and a Zotac GTX 970 AMP! Extreme Core which has 3 open air style fans(purple arrow)

So I was wondering if this fan setup is any good or if I should add/remove some case fans?

You can also leave thoughts on the case fans since I haven't purchased them already:D

But just to notice they did very good on spcr if you read the final thoughts http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1346-page6.html.

Thank you already :)

What do the purple arrows mean? Is that for the graphics card? The Zotac card will suck in air through the bottom and then blow it out.

The GPU air will be pushed into the case out of the sides of the cooler if you're using an open style (aftermarket) cooler, so it won't be going down.

 

I would also take the larger HDD cage out if you're not using it, so the air can move more freely. You also won't need three intake fans, but it's fine to use. You just need at least one in the front and one in the back. You could test temp differences with each fan config if you want, but I find one in the front and one in the back is good enough for single GPU setups.

If this Zotac does it too then I'm sorry I messed it up and the arrows need to be turned 180°

maybe you could put the fan on the bottom as an exhaust on the top but it wouldn't really make a difference either way

ALL GPUs suck air in with fans. It differs only where air goes after that. Open air ones push it out from all open sides. Stock (blowers) push it out from rear.
