ANyone owning coolermaster n200? Please tell me how is the ventilation of cm n200.. i am going for the windowed side panel so no side fan.. whats bothering me is that its a short case.. so the clearence of the gpu and psu is less compared to mid tower.. so how is the hot gpu air supposed to be blown out of the case with no exhaust fans in the near vicinity of the gpu? should i go for this case? will it harm the gpu?
 
i plan to use the front for exhaust,, and actually i have a hyper 212 with pushpull so that makes the cpu cooler thick and top fan and rear exhaust i dont think can puull the gpu heat :-(
 
You're over thinking it - there's 50-60mm clearance between the GPU & the side of the case - hot air rises.
The evo will push absolutely everything towards the rear exhaust.
The n200 has good cooling as default - the fact its a small case is actually a benefit - the stock fans have very good airflow & work well as they come - the airflow from the front intake has less area to cover as a result before it hits the backward pull of the CPU cooler & exhaust fan.
 
actually i thought thet if i face the 212 with push pull config then it would be easy for the cooler to suck the ait feon the gpu bro.. is it not so? but nm a bit scared about the cable management as i saw very little space at back
 
Then you have nothing to worry about - in all honesty you don't need push/pull on a evo with a 6300 - the stock fan will keep it below 60c even over clocked.
Vice versa the 960 is a very cool running card - I doubt you'll ever see temps above mid 50's leaving the case fans as they come at default mate.
Will be a very nice little setup - I'm not convinced the 4gb is worth the extra over the 2gb model though unless its within $20 or so.
 
In sha Allah then i will be safe....okk bro thanks but am gonna install all fans possible top front.. but front i would give exhaust.. cz i live in india and here in out city its too dusty.. on top of that if i put intake fans then i will have to clean front mesh every 3 days
 


Honestly mate,keep the front fan as intake - its far easier to spend 5 minutes cleaning the mesh than it is cleaning the inside of your pc - which will happen if you install too many exhausts creting negative pressure.
 
Thing is, just as long you have good natural airflow in your case with as little stagnant air as possible, you should be fine.

I would also recommend facing your cooler towards the back exhaust, as this will blow air over the VRMs, effectively aiding in cooling it.
