Case Fan Temperatures

[JD97]

Hi All,

 

I have this case here (http://www.deepcool.com/product/case/2014-05/9_840.shtml). It says in the manual that the top should be intake. However, others say that it should exhuast. Im confused. I purchased some corsair SP120 and installed them as intakes on the top. 

 

With stock fans included (not the corsair ones) with the case and 600-700rpm @ idle for both fans, the mobo is reading 49 degrees.

considering my stock ones are deepcool fans maxing out @ 1100rpm, and the corsair ones installed run @ 900-1000rpm with smart mode. 

 

Questions:

1- Should i do 3 intakes (2 tops and 1 infront) + 1 exhaust (rear only) or a different combo?

2- what should i run the rpm at for the corsairs?

3- is 49 degrees high for system temperatures? 

4- any suggestions or things i maybe missing? (proper settings for fans, etc)

Case fans can be mounted either way and which way is best depends on your specs and how your airflow is configured.

Im running a i5-8400, gtx 1060, m2 ssd. 

 

Current airflow is 1 intake in the front and 1 exhaust in the back from factory.

The stock case fans are fine as is. You can add an extra side panel intake for better GPU temps.
