airflow direction

I noticed my laptop’s cooling fan wasn’t blowing air out of the system as it should, so I disassembled it. I found that it was actually pushing hot air back inside. The fan has a small opening that lets air leak through, and I’m looking for a suitable material to seal this opening. I thought...

Hey guys i'm curious about what would be the best configuration for my PC airflow. Currently I got 6 fans in total but I haven't decided if I should leave 2 or 3 exhaust 3 intake at the front, 1 exhaust at the back and 2 exhaust at the top (OR just leave 1 on top, at the left side) this is my...

I have This build I am considering putting the radiator in the front of the case with 5 exhaust fans. 2 in front and 3 behind it. I then will have 1 fan in the back and 3 on the top for intake. Does the 2 fans in front of the radiator help push the heated air out or will it be a waste?

Hey all, Looking for some advice and opinions on airflow with my new case. I had a build that burnt out my CPU AIO, so I'm getting a new case to try something different. I'm going to be using a Corsair 7000D Airflow Full Tower Case. My thoughts are to top mount my 360mm CPU AIO as exhaust...

Hey guys, I'm just a little confused about what would be the best way to put 3 x 120mm fans in a case. I was thinking of putting 2 intake at the front and 1 exhaust at the back or top? Or Should I put 1 intake at the front and 2 exhaust, 1 back and 1 top? What's your opinion? How and where would...

Hello, To begin with the setup I have a Gigabyte AC300G case. I also have a Gigabyte Liquid Cooler 360 which I was planning to place on top of the case for exhaust but due to front panel cables it doesn't fit so I had to place it on the front of the case. I have 2 stock fans on in the back...

My airflow look like this. So my question should I change the CPU fan airflow to both left/right or should I just let it be?

Hello I have a Corsair carbide 275r case (closed front) and will be getting a noctuanh-u12s chromax (single fan) as the cpu cooler. I plan on having two fans in the front as intakes and one fan at the top (there's an air filter on the top) which I don't know if it should be intake or exhaust...

I've finally decided to fix my case's airflow but unsure how to proceed with it. Going for a very budget fan setup with Arctic F12s. My question is if there is any advantage to using the P12 which is optimized for static pressure or just sticking with the plain old airflow optimized. I checked...

So I just built my new pc. I have 2 fans in the front where the power button is, and 2 on top. I removed the one in the back that pushes air out, and the reason why is because I put 2 fans on my cpu cooler (it's a vertical one) and both the fans are pushing air toward the fins, meaning that...

I've recently upgraded my budget build to a better budget build. I added an 8g gpu (xfx Rx 570) with a 750w power supply. I also have an AMD 8350 4.0 GHz 8core on an MSI 970 gaming motherboard. I noticed my cpu was getting up there in temp so I added a Corsair H70 liquid cooling unit. The...

Have a desktop with an i7 4790K (not overclocked) with stock fan. My case is a Fractal Define R4 (www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/define-series/define-r4-black-pearl). The CPU overheats, so want to change the fan, but need it to remain silent. Tried a Noctua NH-D14...

My daughter inherited my tertiary system: Q8300 @ 3.7 EVGA 790i FTW BFG 275 SLI She tends to play city building and civ games with the occasional Shogun 2 MP bout. I've seen several refurb EVGA 580's for about $180.00 and 660ti's for $210.00 at my local MC. Is it worth it to upgrade the 275's...
