Various Fans Placements

[GregSG]

Hi, just gotten a new casing. Am unsure which fans i should use, and where to i place them to ensure the best cooling.


First pic,

Should cold air be blowing inside? Then i put a S-Flex G, or should i get a fan that suck out the hot air?

More pics to be coming up.

Thx thx...

In through the front/bottom and out through the back/top is usually a good place to start. I'd have to see the rest of the case though to tell you where exactly to place the fans.

A good read: http://icrontic.com/articles/pc_airflow_heat_cooling_guide

(Pretty much agrees with cloned except when there's so much flow that it causes turbulence).

for the ATCS840, front intake, rear exhaust, top exhausts, that is default anyway.

Not certain you'd gain anything by putting your own fan at the back when you have 2x230mm top exhausts.
