>the convection meme

>>60258951
Don't be stupid, heat rises.
Also front fans usually have filters as they are designed for intake while the rear exhaust fans don't have filters.

>>60259100
GPU isn't pushing hot air downwards it's sucking air from the bottom and spitting it out the sides where it rises upwards and gets exhausted.

Which would be better out of these two? Main concern is dust, good ventilation comes second.

The problem is, that the front intakes are extremely restricted. Judging by what I've tested you need about 3x CFM to the front intake to make just barely neutral pressure. Otherwise the case's gonna suck in air through PCI slots. The case came with dust filters to top and front only.

>>60259412
Two high static pressure intakes, one high volume exhaust in the back, the top fan mount is really for 240mm rads.

In regards to airflow, has anyone here tried DIY ducting/compartmentalizing? Servers, high end prebuild work stations usually have this to some degree (pic related)

Would it help cooling or would it not really see any benefit these days? It makes sense that it would be beneficial on a home PC with a large case, but I would be surprised if it also made no difference.

>>60259483
>>60259457
Sounds like I gotta find PCI slot dust filters or something in that case.

>>60259360
This is exactly the same as my setup, I have two intakes at the front, two exhausts at the top and one Noctua 3000RPM exhaust at the back.

My shit would never get loud if not for the GPU, goddamn turbine on heavy load, can't stand it desu
Probably would fix the problem by moving the tower from table to under it, but the place I'm living in atm has fucking carpeted floor and that would choke the shit out of the build

Always have (slightly) more intake than outtake. And make sure that the intake is through dust filters. And don't go full retard and just have some semblance of an airflow line. If you have watercooling you'll have to consider if you want good CPU temps but higher case temps (radiator at intake), or good case temps but higher CPU temps (radiator at outtake).
Aside from that, there's not much you can do wrong.

>>60259587
Run Furmark and post screenshot once temps stabilize at max. Your fan profile may be set to too low a temp.

>>60259542
>>60259576
I had another duct.

>>60259617
I've made a custom fan curve as the stock one didn't spin up until 30, but at something like 60 it would, in a single step, go from decent to turbine, and it would basically be cooling itself down with the jet engine, reach lower temp, go into lower RPM and heat up again

>>60258951

I did that in a Bitfenix Prodigy. It works really well there since the mobo is mounted upside down. Noctua CPU cooler got air directly from the outside and I had the top case fans blowing outside air down onto the GPU fans. Not sure how well it would work in the case of your pic tho

>>60259617
OP don't do this, furmark will fry your GPU. Use a benchmark like Heaven or 3D Mark.

>>60259648
>the stock one didn't spin up until 30
I don't have mine set to spin up until 50. There's literally no point.

Proptip for everyone you want cool air coming in over your hard drives. They are the most temperature sensitive component.

No it won't.

>>60259763
HDDs like to be warm though

>>60259768
running madvr filters makes my 970 hotter than furmark will make it, it's strange and I have no idea why

>>60258951
>rear fan sucks in hot gpu exhaust
>gpu fan sucks in hot cpu exhaust

>>60259797
Cards detect Furmark and throttle. So it's no longer a worse-than-worst real-life case test, it's just kinda average.

>>60259763
I thought the optimal temperature for those was like 28 degrees Celsius. Though they can operate at a huge range. And it would only improve their lifespan anyway.
Meanwhile, processing units actually directly perform better if they run colder.

>>60259698
>no point
there's no point in having 0% RPM fans when there's a HDD or a single other fan spinning in your build(a PSU for example)
You can't really hear a <1000RPM fan if it's not some cheap chinkshit
The point is that at basically the same ambient noise the GPU will take a lot longer time to hit the 50 C mark and after that there at least won't be any dumb cutoff temperature range where the fan cools the GPU down to not spin anymore and gets up to spinning in 5 seconds as the GPU reaches 50 again without cooling

>>60258951
Cool air will always go down and warm will always go up so you want to suck the cool air from the bottom and blow the hot air from the top.

>>60259829
Simply not having a vertical fan profile will do that.

>>60259837
>Cool air will always go down and warm will always go up
Bullshit. Get a weak fan and you can easily force cool air up or warm air down. The difference in pushing either warm or cool air up is negligible.

>>60259837
Just shut up.

>>60259841

>>60259851
>>60259853
BASIC PHYSICS YOU DUMB ASS NIGGERS!

>>60259870
Exactly, basic physics will teach you that fans move air. Learn it. And slightly more advanced physics will teach you that forces can be overcome.

>>60259870
basic fans you dumb ass nigger

>>60259886
That would only really work if the case is suspended of the ground.

>>60259870
Shut up.

>>60259868
Vertical fan profile. Don't set the stupid thing to go from 0 to 100% over the course of 1 degree.

>>60259883
you'll have more noise than necessary and you're not doing anything about the hot gpu exhaust

>>60259886
Silverstone had a case like this a few years ago, massive intakes on the bottom with a single exhaust at the top (mobo was also rotated) and it performed better than pretty much every save

>>60259883
Why go aster the counterintuitive model?
You'll cool it but it's less efficient.

>>60259895

If furmark fries your GPU, your GPU is shit

>>60259895

>>60259902
Oh yeah, that less than 1% increase in fan rotation will surely be heard.

>and you're not doing anything about the hot gpu exhaust
In neither cases are you necessarily doing anything about that.
>>60259913
If for some reason you have a reason to pull in air from the top. And the efficiency difference is negligible.

>>60258951
My FT02, still one of the best air-cooling cases out there, and it has great synergy with blower style cards.It's a shame silverstone has patents on the vertical orientation w/ fans underneath setup.

Get about 70c on left card, 74c on right card under full SLI load, fans sit around 65-75%, the amount of heat that exhausts out of the case is immense. Oh and my noctua fan doesn't fit in my middle cause of a heatsink, doesn't affect performance much.

inb4 shit aesthetics, idgaf, no window. will probably tuck the pci-e cables behind the case later tho.

Not high enough to really make it high enough so that you have a good amount of air.

>>60259926
Very nice, but why don't you have a fan in the middle of your CPU heatsink?

>>60259896
>>60259895
>>60259925
>>60259927
If you don't make holes or vent it from the top, hot air will get trapped at the top increasing the whole case temp gradually.
It's just an inefficient model.

>>60259940
mobo heatsink blocks it.

>>60259940
>>60259945

>Very nice, but why don't you have a fan in the middle of your CPU heatsink?
It doesn't make a difference if the second fan was in the middle of behind the finstack anyway

>>60259943
obviously you would have vents at the top FOR FUCK'S SAKE

>>60259943
>what are fans

>>60259926
Top venting, this guy know his air cooling.

>>60259943
Just fucking no. This is wrong on so many levels. Nothing will get trapped because fans are moving air around.

>>60259947
Yea but best airflow is from top-down since you get more speed and flux since it's also a natural tendency of the air to go from the bottom to the top.

>>60259684
Not that anon. I used to leave FurMark on all night when I tested my configuration. I'm still happy.

>>60259952
It's actually side cooling in that configuration. Depends on which way he tilts the case, but right now it's flat on the desk. No bottom or top fans.

>>60259966
>get trapped because fans are moving air around
Yea but in an inefficient way and unnatural way.

>>60259979
Then he doesn't know his venting.

>>60259980
It's actually efficient though. Definition of inefficient is unable to get the desired result with reasonable economy. The 1% fan difference is absolutely reasonable.
Fans are by definition unnatural.

>>60259979
it's only on the desk for the pic you stupid ass

>>60260000
>1 fan in (aside from the blocked off part)
It's shit senpai. You'll pull in dust through all the small holes in the case.

>>60259998
It does it's job but you could do so much more.

>>60259970
That doesn't make any sense

Best airflow is from bottom to top

>>60259979
Laid it down to take a pic while installing GPUs.

>>60260012
>>Best airflow is from bottom to top
True

>>60260006
I assumed that. But that's why I said >>60259979
>Depends on which way he tilts the case
Outtake could be to the back/front/top/bottom, depending on which way he positions the case.
>>60260010
>you could do so much more.
By just pushing in the direction of convection? No you literally can't.

Hypothetical situations. It's just that it's a negligible difference.
>>60260054

Dust filters should always be used as intake. Much more important than convection.

>>60260079
>Dust filters should always be used as intake
You'll hinder the airflow and use the convection advantage.

>>60260141
You'll hinder the airflow to improve the airflow down the line yes.

>and use the convection advantage.
Irrelevant. Dust filters can be positioned wherever. Generally they're at least at the bottom anyway.

>>60260079
>negligible
Is good enough for me
1% good enough for me

>>60260175
As long as you don't lessen the airflow in other ways to get that, fine. It's also not 1% I think.

Is air sucking in from the PCI slots in your conventional desktop setup a bad thing? Seems it'd give good airflow for the GPU, but it'll still be on the main exhaust side of things.

>>60260582
Depends on the hardware. I have seen plenty of setups like that work excellently.
What you're doing is feeding it directly to the GPU instead of to the system in general. As long as you're not getting hot air pockets it's great.

what about this?
>front fan on the hdd

How about pulling cool air from both / all sides but the top and let it rise out naturally?

>>60261565
The bottom fan would push air out, albeit at a slower pace than with a top fan. Still, stupid to counteract the front fan with the back fan, that would just trap hot air more.

>>60261599
Sure, it might, but when you are pulling loads of cool air constantly in, it displaces the warmer air that raises, so you by thermal laws, you should not have to push it out.

>>60261634
I think that because you're working against airflows you'll get some wonky movements of air, resulting in air that won't move at all. There's no reason to do it like that, the concept of airflow exists for a reason.

>>60261507
zero reason to actively cool HDDs, move it to the middle of the front panel is possible.

It still is. No other case has as good HDD bays for example. And no, the Fractal Design cases have an awful thin rubber grommet that do not block fuck all vibration.

The only thing the p180 mini doesn't have is space for giant ass watercooling blocks, but you can get around that with some creativity easily, and still fit two 120mm blocks even if you are stupid.

More in is better than more out. Now you have the out fans pulling air in through all the little holes in the case, meaning you pull in air around dust filters, meaning more dust in your case.

forced convection dumbass

>>60263157
Right so how about just having the one fan on top then, closest to the fan on the back?

>>60262531
The difference between an extremely hot case and surrounding temps is about 6 grammes. A fan can move 30 grammes every second. It's not significant. After less than 2 seconds the fan can have the case filled with completely fresh air anyway.

>>60263279
And the 2 intake fans? That's probably good. I'd just have either more intake or equal amount of intake/outtake. You could also just let the intakes run slightly faster.
All in all it doesn't matter much anyway. The 2 in 1 out configuration that most cases come with perform about the same as any other configuration with the same amount or more fans.

>>60262127
If you have one HDD then that area won't get that hot. If you have a 4 drive raid array and a SSD and another hdd as wrote-mostly raid1 for that then you're going to get some hot harddrives if there's no fans blowing through that area.

I have 2 120mm fans in the front of the case and a 140mm side fan and a 120mm rear fan and a 200mm top fan and I'm not going to remove those front fans just because you don't even have a raid array in your computer and don't know any better.

>>60259331
why are there southbridge heatsinks stuck to the side of the 5.25" bay?

>>60264413
I'm assuming that big red arrow is actually the CPU fan? Because in that situation you're drawing hot air from the GPU backplate into the CPU heatsink. It's better to turn the CPU heatsink 90 degrees counterclockwise, so it's pointed towards the back.
If it's a top fan, I'd just leave it there.

How can you tell the difference between a static pressure and airflow-centric fans? Not many manufacturers use that shit to differentiate their fans, so it gets confusing.

>>60265993
Static pressure fans generally have flatter blade design, any good manufacturer will tell you which they're optimised for. If they don't, they're probably shit.

>>60265993
I just worked on the assumption that they're regular ass airflow fans unless specified that they're static pressure or "radiator optimized" fans or whatever they might call it. Though I also just looked up reviews for what the sound was like and shit for what was available to me.

>>60265993
airflow fans like noctua NF-S12B, scythe slip stream 120, corsair AF120 look more like airplane propellers with gaps between them

static pressure fans like noctua NF-P12, scythe gentle typhoon, corsair sp120 cover more area when looking at them from the front

Case ventilation is a meme unless you're running xfire/SLI setups. I have the fractal design R5. Windowless with sound dampening foam everywhere. No intake fans on the front (took them off because they were bringing in dust like mad). Only case fan I have is a single 120mm pwm fan as exhaust. It's rpm matches the CPU cooler fan.

Temps aren't an issue at all on any of my components. If you absolutely have to, get a single intake fan. Don't go crazy. One in, one out.

Pretty awesome but the best part is having all the connectors on the top instead of at the back. - no more feeling in the dark to connect something.

Only drawback are:

He means GPU exhaust air will cycle back into his case.
It's a real issue, especially if he places the rear close to a wall (which almost everybody does).

the second cpu fan is entirely redundant.

it helps pull air through the heatsink

I regret getting the C and wish I got a Q, those stock fans can get loud. The window doesnt even face towards me

>>60266743
maybe you can find the part number and get one on Amazon

For some reason, you can buy every panel of the Q version except the main side panel, they don't sell that separately.

This makes me so angry.

>>60258951
Make filters for the rear? I have an entertainment room in my basement. My desk is against the wall. Even though the wall is finished and not concrete, since I'm underground the wall is still MUCH colder than a wall would be upstairs.

That being said, because of science and how ambient temperature works, it makes complete sense to have my intake fans in the rear. It will pull colder air near the wall into the PC and exhaust it into the center of the room.

My issue is that I have a 570X. Those 3 pretty fans at the front CAN be reversed to exhaust. But I don't need or want 3 exhaust fans. If I could have 3 intake in the rear, 2 intake on the bottom then I would just do a single top mount exhaust and single front mount exhaust.

But alas, my current case makes it quite difficult to achieve because of mounting placements. Best of luck to you though. PS, mesh and magnets are cheap at most hardware stores. Aka. make your own filters.

You could try having everything as intake, but switching the top fan to exhuast. That might result in better temps?

Using the psu as an exhaust helps quite a bit actually.

>>60266808
Hot air rises. Stay with your current setup. Try to put in more fans to improve airflow. I'm running seven fans in my case, allowing me to have a noiseless airflow at 400 RPM. You won't hear anything unless you open the case.

Is it best to have the GPU fans pointing up instead of down?

>>60259870
Precisely, basic physics will tell you the effects of temperature in a tiny ass computer case mean jackshit in its overall airflow.

is "warm air rises" the new meme

>>60268255
Using the PSU as exhaust is part of the intention behind ATX as well. Many old systems has the PSU fan as the only fan that contributes to case airflow.

>>60268803
please go read a book

>>60269380
Please go do some practical experiments instead of spewing memes you don't know about. Do you also think the friction of the air hitting the motherboard makes it hotter, you fucking retard?

>>60269423

>>60269444

Brainlets, will they ever learn?

>>60258951
Does your front have a dust filter? If yes, keep the intake from the front. If not, go ahead with what you're trying

>>60268255
you're gonna choke the psu of cool air

This is what I'm doing

So much cool air

I think the only problem with OP's solution would be the front fan blowing shit off the desk, but that's just being a pedant.

>>60269483
why do you think 99%+ of cases are designed with a top and/or high rear exhausts and bottom and/or low front intakes

Slot 1 mid tower the easy way to do thermal management is to take the side off the case, then it really doesn't matter.

>>60271707
because mythbusters hasn't disproven the inside joke that case manufacturers keep on pushing about heat rising
check component temps when the system is off, is the air temperature somehow hotter in one part than another? fuck it, check the ceiling's temp...if hot air rises then the air temperature will be different, by your stupid logic

it's the same group of people who think "well, there's only 120 years worth of recorded weather, and probably 75% of that recorded information is wrong, so by that logic earth is now the hottest it's ever been"
it's all fake news

Yes, true but on a small scale like a COMPUTER CASE, it doesnt matter.

IN
2x120 front (cha_fan) 120cfm total.
1x140 side (pwr_fan) 90cfm
OUT
1x200 top (cha_fan) 110 cfm
1x120 rear (cpu_fan) 76 cfm

140 side 100% constant, keeps positive case pressure and gpu cool.
120 rear so there's never any stagnant air for hsf to recycle, even if chassis fans haven't spun up yet. Nexus 120 seems much louder than advertised at 100% but has been working great for some years now.

fuck man, the ft02b is still one of the best cases.
I would've kept mine if it wasn't for the tiny amount of clearance behind the mb tray and the sidepanel. Wasn't planning on getting a degree in rocket science just to do some cable management back there.

I like Tortex because the powdery coating makes the pick stick to your fingers when you sweat. It's kinda like the coating on Zowie mice.

>>60268724
So much this.
Everybody is going 'hot air rises, duh!'. And yes, it does. BUT(!) I have yet to see some proper maths showing the significance and desu I really doubt that it has any non-neglible influence on how air moves in a case with a fan or two installed.

Other than that looks good. I love the no bullshit uncoloured fluid(is it just distilled water?)
What rads do you have in there?

>>60274165
Actually I run my ram up to nearly 2v on B-Die when I'm doing benchmarking so it helps with a little.

Just distilled water with treatment added. Both rads are EK PE 360mm

>>60258951
Heat goes up. Your case will more than likely not have enough push force to drag the hot air from the CPU and mobo.
