I have almost finished this mini ITX build using the Thermaltake Core V1 case and just wanted peoples opinions on how I've set up the fans for this build.

 

I have two 82mm intake fans at the back of the PC pulling air from behind the PC into the case.

The CPU uses a 92mm fan.

At the front, i have a 200mm exhaust fan.

(see attached image for air flow direction)

 

I have Fan filters on order for the rear 82mm fans as well as for the side where the GPU intakes air.

I think that will be adequate. You have enough space around the sides and back to adequately allow in take and flowing outwards into the open. Should be about as good as you can get I feel.

I would personally have rear fans exhausting and CPU fan blowing on the other side. Main reasoning being that you are using case in rather closed space. Air behind the case will be much hotter than air in front of case.

The air behind the PC is actuly 2 degrees cooler there then the center if the room. I have temperature sensors all around the place so I’ll monitor this and if this changes I’ll alter the setup
