Is this air cooling good?

[deadlyghost]

See this picture and tell me if the air cooling is good or bad...

That's great. I always follow the general rule of side/bottom/front as intake and top/rear as exhaust.

But, are you sure your PSU fan pushes air out? Most of them pull air in.

My PSU is Corsair GS700.. and its fan only works when it thinks that the temperature is high... But I discussed this airflow matter on GeForce forums and they say that in a case there should be more exhaust than more intake... They say me to flip the bottom fan so that it becomes an exhaust and to put filters on the other intake fans..

Well, it really depends on the user's preference. I prefer positive air pressure over negative. Here, read this, and decide which one is better for you:

Also, I'm almost 100% sure your PSU pulls air in, not pushes it out. That's good, though, because your PSU is bottom-mounted and will pull cold air in from outside the case.

Thanks a lot for the link @ihog... But I prefer negative pressure...

See this is my whole system's intake and exhaust flow -

Intake-
146.7715358350179 m3/h - 2x 120mm fan front
182.3013640919361 m3/h - 2x120mm at HDD cage
Total - 329.072899926954 m3/h

Exhaust-
73.38576791750896 m3/h - 1x 120mm fan rear
169.8744627720115 m3/h - 2x 140mm fan top
84.93723138600574 m3/h - 1x 140mm fan bottom
Total - 328.1974620755262 m3/h

I am thinking to replace the rear fan with a 140mm fan of higher CFM than the stock one... and place the rear 120mm fan at the HDD cage...

Whatever floats your boat, man.

 

[deadlyghost]

lol but what if the boat sinks xD... btw thanks ihog.. helped a lot..

Hope you're really good at swimming and you're not too far from shore!

And no problem.

Also, I'm almost 100% sure your PSU pulls air in, not pushes it out. That's good, though, because your PSU is bottom-mounted and will pull cold air in from outside the case.

It could pull warm air outside the case if the fanside of the psu was pointing upwards to the top of the case,the arrow is than just pointing in the wrong direction,it should point towards the back of the case where the psu outtake is.The fan indeed pulls air in.
How these warm temps effect the psu i don't know,the guy from oc3d always does it this way afaik.It probably sucks some warm air out of that corner under the gpu keeping the gpu cooler.

What is better is personal,but i think that if you use the 140mm at the bottom as an air outtake it might disrupt the airflow in the case so i would leave it like this.

Just try tings out and look at the temps with a good program or maybe you have a fancontroller with temp. sensors.

Uh.. then it would be a whole lot of intake... Very much less of exhaust... I think I really now know what to do... BTW thanks for trying Vic 40...
