I want to get by with as few fans as possible in my case mod project so heres my plan. The heatercore is in the front of the case, and I will have two deltas running at 5v (they get about 54cfm at 5v and come in at 26 dBA each) In my case side window I will have another delta running 5v over the video card as an exhaust, and htis should also pull some heat away from the chipset I'm hoping. I guess my bigest concern here is that my RAM get enough cooling. Im going to be using VX or redline, so will the airflow from the top heatercore fan be enough to cool the ram? Ive measured and their will only be about a half inch gap between the edge of the heatercore fans and the edge of the motherboard to give u a frame of reference. So like i said the biggest question is, will the ram get enough airflow?

Thanks

yah its really an awesome case
Theres a few drawbacks about it but overall its very nice. Im just disappointed cause theres going to be alot of wasted space in the top of mine. I mean all that will be above that reinforcing bar is the PSU, optical drive, HDD, my 5 inch LCD and the pump. Sounds like alot but I could have fit so much more in there

btw i really want opinions on if the ram is going to get enough airflow

Is your PSU 1 exhaust fan only? Or is there a fan at the bottom too. I think you would need at least 1 more exhaust above the slots cover at the back.
My setup is similar....and my VX <42C on load.

the PSU im gonna use is PC P&C turbocool 510 SLI, only one fan and its on the back for exhaust. And no openings on the bottom of the PSU by lookin at the pics.

I think it's stupid because If you could put your PSU higher you would have much more space!!
