Posted January 12, 2018 I say front and back as intakes so your rams get cool air. Top as exhaust.

Posted January 12, 2018 Usually it goes the other way (front to back), and I assume that's better.

Posted January 12, 2018 That is really not the best way. Make your front fans intake and rear and top ones as exhaust. Basically use your AIO fans as intake and top, rear fans as exhaust.

Posted January 12, 2018 Keep the front as intake. Since hot air naturally rises, you don't really want to have the tops intaking. I recommend top exhaust, back exhaust, and front intake. print "Hello World!" ("Hello World!") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can create new threads on both sides of the fan.

Umm what do u mean by create new threads ? the case fan on one side can be screwed in smoothly but on the other side wont get in the surface on it is like smooth.

Posted January 12, 2018 Fan holes usually are smooth when new. The thread is created when you actually start screwing it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The threads are created by the screws. On the smooth side, you have to use the screw to create new threads, to secure your fans.

Posted January 13, 2018 And as a rule of thumb, you should have more intake than outtake of air to get a positive pressure. All intake is filtered and the "excess" air is getting pushed out "blocking" dust from getting in. With negative pressure the air gets sucked in unfiltered in all small gaps and openings in the chassi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
