Left (In/Out) obviously. Creative positive pressure is not very good overall. These types of cases are still optimally configured for convection and traditional ATX cooling design. I would highly recommend that you pull all the unnecessary drive cages and add front 120mm fans higher up if that case allows it.

Thank you good sir

Positive pressure is great for dust control. Especially if the only intakes are filtered.

I mean I figured it would be better to do the right side because of the radiator

Dust controll depends almost entirely on the hermeticity of the case.

You can have no positive fans but still good airflow if the intakes have dustfilters.

>More exhaust than intake
Enjoy your dust.

>Creating a negative pressure zone

Enjoy your dust

>using a shit case
enjoy your dust and high temps.

>Just fuck my space efficiency up senpai

>silverstone ass backward upside down crap
please leave

so ass backwards that it consistently seems to allow them to make among the best cases in terms of air cooled performance.

OP here what does Sup Forums think of this?

>At full speed, the SilverStone FT05 is audibly loud
good job. anyone can stick a loud fan in the case

>disgusting poorfag

Please leave.

i never claimed it was quiet, just that it cooled well, fagtron. if it works so well maybe more manufacturers should do it?

Strongly consider having more in pulling in than pushing out. My setup is similar to yours. I use all 120mm fans. I have two fans pushing out the roof like a chimney. I have one fan pushing out the back at the top. Those are my three outputs. I have one pulling in from the bottom. I have three pulling in from the front. I have four 120mm fans pulling in, and I have three 120mm fans pushing out. More air pulling in than pushing out. In other words, my case wants to blow up like a balloon. My case does not want to suck in like a vacuum. Now, I'm not completely worried about a little dust. I have an electric compressor that makes easy work of blowing out the dust, although it takes about three months before I begin to see any dust accumulation.

My priority is quiet cooling, not dust prevention. I recommend checking the CFM (cubic feet of air per minute) of your fans. Try to add more CFM pulling in than pushing out. Your case looks like it can accommodate at least two fans pulling from the front. In that configuration you will have at least a close balance between pulling and pushing. I chose ugly tan-and-brown Noctua fans because of their near silence and high CFM, and boy are they silent. Here's the fan I use -

And here's my Speccy. Note the temps. My cooler is the Cryorig H7.

Silverstone has patents on vertical-orientation cases with 180mm/200mm fans underneath. Which is why you don't see this type of case design much, aside from thermaltakes tower 900 which doesn't exactly use the same layout.

I have my radiator draw air in from the top. The 4x140mm fans easily overcome the heat rises meme. The exit temperature of the air is still plenty cool enough to knock the mobo component Temps down. Heat is blown out the back and through the upper front. Lower front 220mm fan pulls in and cools my hard drives. It exits out the door. Door has a exhaust fan above the gpu and an intake bellow the gpu.

The only thing you should worry about with fans are feeding your cpu and gpu fresh cool air. The mobo components and hard drives just need a slight breeze.

The postive pressure shit is a wash. If you have to much static pressure one or more of your intake fans will just experience cavitation and soon something like your hard drives will be failing early.

This idea is not always the best if there are no top dust filters as you will have to clean out the rad more often . I know people don't give a shit to clean them but it is what makes a shitty aio last longer

Heat does rise but doesn't really relate to airflow

This is assuming the front probably does have a filter or stops dust in some way

>For cooling what would be the better option
The one with HEPA filters.

...

out the back or it will suck in dust from behind the case

the only correct answer

make sure it sucks out of the case not blowing in

What about this?

you need more intake than outtake, so you'll need either have less fans, or set up fan speed so that the intake ones are pushing more air inside than the other sending air outside

>the better option

go big or go home
