Fan Setup?

[somerandomguy12]

Hi,

I have a mid tower ATX case with a i5 6500 and gtx 1070.

 

Do you think this is a good fan setup?

1 140mm exhaust fan ( Have no idea RPM but look decent )

1 120mm exhaust fan ( Have no idea RPM but look decent )

1 120mm intake fans 1,350RPM MAX

The fans don't really matter.

 

This will work fine.

I'll borrow this thread..

 

Im using 2x140mm Fractal Design R2 fans as intake in front, 2x120mm Corsair SP120L exhausting in the back, push pull with a Corsair H75 inbetween.

I also have 2x120mm Cooler Master of unknown model in the top set to exhaust and another intake with a 120mm Cooler Master fan on the side.

 

Is this a good airflow setup?

that is OTT.You don't need so many fans but yes that works

I would reccomend more intakes than outtakes as a negative air pressure can lead to dust pile up

It depends on the case more than it depends on the fans.

How do you have 2 exhaust fans at 140mm then? According to the spec sheet, only the top rad mount and the front support 140mm fans, and the top rad only supports a single fan.

sorry 1 ment 2 exhausts fans 1 120mm and 1 140mm.

I'll fix that now?

Yeah, that makes a bit more sense.

Is it possible to mount your CPU cooler horizontally? If so, I would recommend using those two exhaust fans as intake fans, and that 140mm intake as an exhaust on the rad mount in the back.

 

That configuration would generate a positive pressure environment within the case which would reduce dust build up, as air would be drawn from inside the case, rather than through the gaps in the case. The reason for changing the orientation is to take advantage of the natural energy of heat itself, and it's tendency to rise as it causes the air to become less dense. This means that you'll achieve better flow. In addition to this, having your CPU fan set to push air through your heat sink to the exhaust fan will also draw air from the back of the GPU which can help to cool it a bit as well.

Unfortunately I cannot place it horizontally, I basically just got one of those Stock Intel ones but should I still try 2 120mm intake ones and that one exhaust?

Stock fans typically push air downwards through the fins towards the motherboard... It's a little bit more difficult to evacuate that air without disrupting the incoming air, but it should function the same.

so.. thats a yes?

Yes, lol.

 

You're still going to benefit from the positive pressure while being able to utilize all of your current hardware.

Can I consult my Physics Professor really quickly?

As long as temps are fine and there's no massive dust inside, any 2+ fan config is good.
