custom loop fan orientation

[269395_1454182228]

Hi guys,

 

I recently finished my first custom loop.

But after gaming for around an hour, I noticed that my PSU was being starved (Very loud) for air and I also noticed that the inside of my case was extremely warm as well. (My gpu and CPU we're not overheating)

 

The bottom 3 fans are pulling air in from below and the front 2 are exhausting the air. the case is a 600c (it's a inverted case)

 

Should I change my fan configuration?

Or something else?

That seems like a pretty good config, I don't know that it can really get much better in an inverted case.

Is it possible to put the 360mm in the front? If not, push-pull (pull from the front, push out the bottom) would probably be better. Nvm, by inverted i didn't see that the psu was on top, the current config. looks fine to me in that case.

Should I try it without a side panel

No, you will lose airflow out the side that would otherwise feed and hit the main components.

Maybe a new and more efficient PSU?

What do you have? The psu shouldn't matter, but rather the orientation and where it is in the case will effect where you need airflow.

You should be fine, how is the psu fan pointed? It should draw from inside the case because there is no airflow from the outside of the case.  If you make sure that's the case, then you should be fine.

The fan is pointed Inside the case

Pulling from the front and pushing from the bottom could help.

I'll try it when I get home.
