Question Nzxt 510 elite case airflow

[Wallafly]

Hi Guys

Probably been posted to death before but cant find any answers.

Im doing a fun little build to get back into pc gaming. Ive bought a 510 elite case and have installed a kraken 120 at the top back instead of the standard dual front radiator.

The fan ive removed from the back i would like to install just to the front of the top case fan, ive course i will drill holes etc...

Does this create a negative pressure flow? Ive seen similar posts but now with the smaller kraken 120 radiator at the back.

For those of you that know this case, please let me know.
Thanks

It works but I wouldn't put a 7900x or 13700k into it. I moved the stock rear case fan to top exhaust. No other fans in the case, just the two.

My build in a H510 is a 3800x and 2070S Strix, runs cool and quiet even when gaming at 1440p.

Thanks for the reply

What im thinking is to put 2 top fans in. One just in front of your one on top. Ill have to drill holes through the case though.

I was just wondering if it will mess with the 2 front fans?

I doubt the two front fans really do much. They look nice.

The video applies to the 510 and 510 elite as they have minimal front panel mesh to allow for airflow.

DON'T buy front intake fans! (For NZXT H500/S340) - YouTube
