Corsair Spec -01 Case and Fans

[paok883]

Hello everyone!

The Corsair spec01 Case...

This case stated above comes with 1 x120mm led fan. The case itself can have 2 front fans (120mm or 140mm) 1 at the back/rear fan (120mm) and two fans on the top of the case (120mm). My question is this : If i put two case fans 120mm in front. Where should i put the exhaust fans and how many ? Maybe one at the rear and one on the top(and in which position). Keep in mind that i will have a cryorig h7 as cpu cooler if it means anything.

Thanks in advance for any help !

Since hot air rises, case airflow rule of thumb is: front & bottom - intake; top & rear - exhaust.

Here's how i'd set up airflow in Corsair Spec-01 case:
front: 2x 140mm intake
top: 2x 120mm exhaust
rear: 1x 120mm exhaust

With this, you can set if you want to have positive, neutral or negative pressure.

Thanks for your answer sir!
Well, if i want neutral pressure should i put 2 intake fans front and bottom. 1 exhaust at the back and 1 on the top. On the top, where is the best place for the fan?

You can go with the 5 fan setup with 2x 140mm as front intake since running 2x 140mm fans produce about the same intake as 3x 120mm fans are exhausting the air.

For positive pressure, run your intake fans faster than exhaust fans and for negative pressure, vice-versa.

But if you plan to use 4x 120mm fans all around then mount the top fan into that slot which is more at the front of the case, leaving the top rear slot free.

Btw, Corsair Spec-01 doesn't have fan mount location at the bottom. What it has is upper and lower front fan slots,
