Hopefully that makes more sense of what I was thinking of doing, each arrow represents where there is a fan, obviously red is exhaust and blue is intake, the wiggly lines are where I expect the air to go, there's nothing really blocking the flow of air, other than the top right corner where the DVD drive is, but that doesn't need cooling anyway, and below that are SSD/HD drives which are horizontal infront of the top front intake, so air flows between them.
The thing at the top left is supposed to be the radiator for the CPU cooler and of course below that is the GPU and then PSU.

Will that setup work or have I missed something?


I'd put the rear as exhaust in that setup.

The whole 'heat rises' is pointless in a PC case. The amount of heat needed for it to be a factor, would fry your PC.

Btw, the air get sucked in to the vid card fans...and most of it, say 85% gets blown out the back of the case. The rest sort of leaks out the sides.



/e That's why vid cards have all the exhaust holes on the back.

My card blows all of the hot air straight into the middle of the case, I've seen reference GPU's that blow air out of the back, but mine doesn't.

What card did you get?


/e I know about reference cards, I own a whole bunch of them. ;)

Well yeah. For that one I'd guess about 40% goes out the back, the rest leaks out the sides. :/


/e Still...like Rikuo said, it takes a lot more than that to mess up an AIO cooler. :)

Just do NOT put in as rear intake, that WILL suck IN all the power supply exhaust and w/e does manage to get exhausted out the back of the vid card.

Same with the idea of starving a card of air with negative airflow
The suction required pc fans cant produce

That's the back of my GPU, somehow I don't think much air is getting out of there :lol:

Yeah, I already looked up the vid card.
