Hello everyone, I’ve got a question regarding the cooling setup I have going in my Fractal Meshify 2.
I’ve got 6 fans total: 3 x 140mm in the front for intake and a 360mm aio with 3 x 120mm fans up top for exhaust in a pull setup.
My problem is that very little air is being exhausted from the top panel. Even when the fans are at 100%. I’ve already taken out the top air filter since it’s exhaust but even with the top panel there is barely any air coming out. Only when I take the top panel does it have noticeable flow.
Im concerned that the air coming off the rad fans is being recirculated back into the pc from the increased resistance from the panel. Also, note, there is a good bit of space (5 to 10mm) between the fan and the top panel/vent. And there is also enough room beside the fans and radiator for the air to recirculate back into the computer.
Not sure what to do to fix this. My thought was to 3D print a shroud the would fill in the space between to fans and the rad, but I’d meet to find someone with a printer first. And I haven’t been able to find any commercial products for something like this either.
Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5600x
GPU: ASUS Strix OC 2080 Super
Mobo: ASUS X570-e
AIO: Corsair H150i pro xt
Case: Fractal Meshify 2
Fans: 3x Noctua NF-A14 (front)
3x Noctua NF-F12
Thanks
Edit: will add pictures once I’m home from work
Edit2: added specs
