When i get home
Right out of a text book




Just like I thought. No proof. :D



I like how you give no consideration to where an exhaust GETS it's air, but then you do consider where an intake GETS it's air. Pick one or the other. No matter which way you choose, you lose. :)

Simple answer = try fans in different configurations and check temps yourself. Or just do what I did and fill every available slot, because more, is better, right? ;) :lol:

Careful, you're new here...you might end up a casualty. :)


/e @ you other folks....
You can't assume one set or rules for intakes and a different set for exhausts.


/ee ...and since the fans can only push what they can grab from the environment, first...we kinda have to consider where they GET their air.

Well here's a few facts...

Air bends...no problem.
Air doesn't ONLY live on the sides of your case.
A room (where the intakes get their air) has 100's of cubic feet of air.
A case, where exhausts get their air has only 2-3 cubic feet of air.

Yes, maybe 12 air molecules get impeded by the filters.
Even more yes..is the fact that exhaust fans are ALWAYS starved for air.

So when I said: 2 in, 2 out is neutral..it pretty much is. If not neutral then it's at least positive air flow.


Have you ever done duct work or anything? Same principle. Changing directions reduces airflow. The fact that the room has way more to pull from doesn't matter because the fans can't even pull that much anyway. lol

I dunno how to explain this to make sense... Like... hm.
Well, let's pretend you have a cup with no cover over the top and the same exact cup with a a canal that will change the flow of water blocking it. Even if you pour a gallon of water over the one with the canal and only a pint of water for the unimpeded cup, it will not fill as quickly and freely as the one with nothing blocking it.
Yes I know that air and water aren't the same and their densities are different forms of matter. Regardless, it's the same principle. Airflow is restricted by objects that block it and the way the air is able to get to the fan. It's not intangible. Air has mass.

Here's a diagram:


We're not disagreeing with you to make you mad, dude. You're just wrong... I can tell that nothing I say will convince you, so we might as well just stop discussing this. haha

Well!

You are comparing free flowing liquid, with mechanically drawn air. And the air intakes have no such restriction.
You would need to put a pump, down in the cup, drawing the liquid IN...to even get close to a comparison. THEN, you would have to resize that huge black block to something miniscule, like a fan filter, to really get a comparison.

After all that, you would need to take art lessons. :)

I'm a graphic designer for a living. I do better art than probably anyone here. :P

A filter or case front IS a restriction. We're not saying it cuts intake by half, but it cuts it.
