Hi all, a question about how to use my single ceiling fan. My current fan set up in my Meshify C is:
1 x 120mm fan in rear as exhaust
1 x 140mm in ceiling as exhaust
2 x 120mm (as part of the Neptune cooler) in front as intake
My CPU temperature hovers at around 28 degrees celsius when idle and is within the acceptable when exerted. I did a quick test in BIOS to see what difference my ceiling fan would make, switched it off and temperature doesn't seem affected. Of course, I don't have a GPU at the moment (for other reasons) and having one might change this. My ceiling fan acts as an exhaust and is located far to the rear. Would positioning it around the middle of the ceiling and setting it to take in cool air from outside be a good idea? My idea is that if it sits above my GPU, the flow of cool air will provide it with increased cooling.
