[SOLVED] Intake fan in front intake fan?

[john22477]

Is this possible or will there be any drawbacks doing so.

are you saying like you will stack them on top of each other?

Yeah, basically.

 

[Maxvj]

Yeah, basically.

i have severe thoughts that would help anything, take a look at Unicorn Reviews video on fan stacking, he does it for cpu cooling, but i figure it is a similar concept. realistically i think one fan would bottleneck the other or one would just push more than the other. so i dont think it would be 2x the performance.

Yeah, basically.

Just stacking them on each other will do nothing or less in some cases. What you want to make is an asynchronous turbine and that requires baffles to be placed between the fans to straighten air stream before hitting second fan as well as higher airflow rate of second (or subsequent fans. That's why push-pull fans works on coolers for instance.

I did this once out of curiosity: H500P Mesh's 2x 200mm fans with 3x 140mm fans behind it.
Hoo-boy, the turbulence from that... do not recommend for every day use. Totally fine for laughs, though!
