Best airflow Fan Set Up

[allenvi]

Hello guys! i have a Fractal Design arc 2 MIDI, i just want to know whats the best set up for my fans. currently i have 2 exhaust on top 1 on the rear. 2 intakes on front and 1 at the bottom.

I wanna know if i should change the 2 fans on top to intake? what do you guys think? Thanks!

I think you should add an intake fan (like on the side or if you have another space on bottom or front), or remove an exhaust fan so you get positive air pressure which means you'll get less dust build up.

What you've got sounds good - in at the bottom, sides and front. Out at the rear and top.

I have just one on front and one on rear and have no problems.

Thanks for the fast reply! can i also ask what application you guys use to monitor Cpu temps? cos i just downloaded HWmonitor and its showing 40+C on my cpu on idle. And i think thats kinda high for idle right?

I use my motherboard UEFI software. Soemtimes, for more comlete info, I use HWInfo - Sensors.

Yes 40C at idle unless its 30plusC outside is too hot.

Try blowing out our case - especially fans, coolers and filters.

And raising the rpm on your cpu cooler fan.

Have you overclocked the cpu?
