Hello Sup Forums,
I have a quick question regarding air flow in my rig (pic related). I figured out the way I would've done the push/pull works here but I'd like to hear your opinion on it. I'm not too sure about the direction of the cpu cooler tho.
>120 mm radiators
Any input welcome
Make #3 exhaust and #2 intake. Add a DIY filter for your #2 intake.
Do the opposite of this
Do the opposite of this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I am this nig/g/er and
Are you guys trying to help or correct me?
Front and sides, intake.
Top and back, exhaust.
Cpu cooler exhaust.
Bottoms intake.
Heat rises, you want a large single directional airflow
...
>1 &2: in
>3 &4: out
Good flow
I hope you appreciate this OP.
>liquid cooler blowing into the case
ayy lmao
Watercooler radiator should pull air out of the case, so you won't heat the case up with hot CPU air.
Most non-reference graphics cards actually pull air into the case as opposed to out like you imply.
It's a bit smarter to have hot air leave the case at the top and back, because it rises. Though it doesn't matter that much.
You should have more fans pushing air into the case than out, because then the air that goes into the case needs to pass through filters. If you have more fans pulling air out of the case then air will find a way into the case through all the cracks and holes, which means more dust will enter the case.
It's supposed to be cooled, so you should get cool air from the outside. Retard.
The inside of the case should be cold though.
It'll be warmer if you do it the other way, user.
This is what I figured as well, thanks
I get your point but if the cpu cooler is an exhaust, it would use the warm air inside the case to cool the cpu, wouldn't it?

>Somehow hotter than when it does pass through a hot radiator
???
>Most non-reference graphics cards actually pull air into the case as opposed to out like you imply
Is this true? Most builds I've seen have the main exhaust fan going out back, which means those GPUs would pull in warm air.
Who thought this was a good idea?
>I get your point but if the cpu cooler is an exhaust, it would use the warm air inside the case to cool the cpu, wouldn't it?
Yeah, but it's like 30 degrees Centigrade at most. That's reasonable.
>using hot air from inside the case to cool the radiator
I mean by all means do it.
the significant sources of heat, the cpu and gpu, should both be blowing straight out of the case, so the inside of the machine doesn't warm up much at all, that's the idea
why would you cook everything else by having them blow into the case?
Does it actually make a difference? I have the intuition that it doesn't.
This setup will it be then
If you have positive pressure, the radiator should be an exhaust.
If you have negative pressure, the radiator should pull air inside.
If you have positive pressure you're a retard.
