Case Fans Optimisation

[justice507]

Two possibilities:

3 x 120intake fans in front, 1 x 120 exhaust at the back and 1 x 120 at the top

OR

3 x120 intake fans in front, 1 x 120 exhaust at the back

Which one is the better choice here? I prefer cooler temperatures for both CPU and GPU.

Case: Fractal Meshify C (it has 2x120 opening at the top)

CPU: AMD RYZEN 2700X

GPU: Nvidia 1060 GTX 6GB

Well an extra exhaust will remove hot case air quicker.

Seeing as that's the only difference between the 2 choices it's plainly better.

3 in front is good, I'd suggest 1 on top and 1 on back. The more air you can't get out of the case and replace with fresh air is always better. After running your system for a while you might turn off one front and maybe the top-temps will tell
