Overkill?

[Mnx4]

hey. I'm making a list of all the components i need for my new comp. I wanna get the right amount of fans for my comp and i'm unsure of how many to get. At the top of the case I'm buying there are two holes for 80mm fans. I was thinking about putting two 80x80x38 mm fans there but i don't want to have too much air being pulled out. The front fan slot will probably have a 92 mm fan but not much else. Any suggestions?

too much air being pulled out?

how do you shoot the devil in the back? what happens if you miss? -verbal

negative case pressure.. I mean would too much air going out of the case and too little going in mess up my cooling? Also, would the sound be unbearable?

too much going out, if it actually makes NEGATIVE pressure, then you will have less air moving over the heatsink...causing less cooling...but...i dont know how much it would effect it...

well i think i'm going w/ a water cooling setup but i was thinking about the mobo and other components in my pc.

Just make sure the fan blowing in puts more cfm though than the two 89's put together then you'll cause positive presure and cool things down better.

There is such thing as negitive pressure in a computer case?

Im watercooled and dont have any case fans at all now (unless you count the 2 in the psu), I still have a vid card fan and a northbrodge fan, until I get round to getting waterblocks for them, my case temp doesnt get high at all.

For maximum efficiency you want a zero, 0, air pressure variance between the inside and outside of the case. Having a greater pressure either way will stain the fan motors with a positive or negative force. For air cooling you want a maximum flow of air molecules coming into the case, through the case crashing into heatsinks and components, and exiting the case. Equalized airflow is key.
