Hello Everyone!!!

I have a fairly large case, and i was wondering if my fan setup was good. I have 1 120mm fan and 1 140mm fan that came with the case in the front blowing air IN, so they're both intake fans. I then have 2 noctua 120mm fans blowing air OUT of the case, 1 of the noctua fans is on the back and 1 at the back side of the top and i was wondering if this is a good setup. Please give me your personal and honest opinion. This is my very first setup so any extra info would be appreciated 😀


Also when i was in my BIOS it showed my CPU temp was 41C with a hyper 212 EVO heat sink, is this normal?

Thanks!

Put the noctuas as intakes. you'll get better results. No it is not normal. Please take heatsink off, clean properly...

Hey Blue_smoke i was wondering if i should have all my fans as intakes except for the 1400mm, is taht a good idea?
 


All in your case should be intake fans other than a top exhaust fans. just use one of the stock fans that came from the case and blow air out from the top and everything else should be coming in.

BTW, did you ever decrease your processor temps?
 


Hey, i changed my fans arounda and now im getting around 30C when idle, which seems great! thanks!

 


I'm glad you're now able to use your rig.
