I'm looking to buy this case to set up a Mini-ITX configuration. The config is this:
GIGABYTE Motherboard for Intel LGA 1151 Mini-ITX GA-H270N-WIFI DDR4
Processor Intel Core i5-7600k Kaby Lake 7th Generation, Cache 6MB, 3.8GHz (4.2GHz Max)
2 x Crucial Ballistix Elite 8GB Memory 2666Mhz DDR4 CL16 BLE8G4D26AFEA (16GB)
EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 VGA Video Card SC Gaming 4GB DDR5
SSD Samsung 750 EVO 2.5 '500GB SATA III 6Gb / s
Cooler Master Storm GX450 GAMER 450W ATX RS450-ACAAB3WO 80 Plus Bronze
So my problem's are:
1 - Cooler for the processor. I saw someone talking about using the Cooler Master Hyper 212x, but will that whole thing fit in there? I'm not going to overclock, maybe it would be good to use the intel cooler box instead buy another cooler?
2 - Air system for the case. In the non-M version, this case has an air exit underneath that is for the PSU. And it has possibilities to use 2 120mm (comes with 1) or 1 140/200 in the front. It already comes with 1 120mm behind (but supports 140mm). And it can use up to 2 120mm on top.
I'm thinking of getting the 2 120mm that comes with it and put them on top.
So, In the front I can put 1 200mm and behind 1 of 140mm. And here comes the doubt about the direction of all of them.
I think that by logic the hot air rises (goes to the top), so in my vision the 200mm front and the 140mm rear should pull the air from the outside to inside, and the two 120mm on top should blow the air from the inside to outside.
Am I wrong? What would be a good setup for this air system? Can anyone suggest something different?
