Question Thermaltake Tower 600 Air Cooled ?

[KoolerThanJesus]

So Im looking at this case (Thermaltake Tower 600) & thinkin about possible air cooled layout. What do you all think of this setup?
Does anyone have this case with an air cooler? Thoughts on fan layout?
Thanks

IMHO, that is the best orientation for the airflow, to have all fans on the side and bottom set to intake while the top most fan is set to exhaust but set to the highest possible speed to have a chimney/stack effect however I have a question.

Why not just get the Tower 300? It's the same height and you're probably only going to use 1 discrete GPU in the build. What GPU have you photoshopped into that image? If you're going to say it's mentioned in my sig space, please mention it in your thread's body. It helps the community member in the same boat as you're in now, later down the road.

The space you've marked with the blue rectangle: if the power supply is fan up, that's actually a down arrow, not an up one.

Personally I believe in using the maximum number of fans that a case will hold which is 9 140mm and 3 120mm for that case. (This is from a guy who has one case with 8 140mm fans and another case with 6 140mm and 3 120mm fans).

Biggest reason is my board is ATX. Plus I rather prefer the look of the 600 . My GPU is the 4080S gigabyte gaming OC. Not even sure if the 300 would hold her. Thanks for the feedback

While this fan does sit on the PSU shroud. Its meant for intake with a 120 or 140. Im going for a P14

Guessing you got yourself an Antec flux pro? I'll proly add 2 more. 140 in the very bottom under the GPU & one 120 on the very back for the socket. I have a P14 140 left over from a family build. The P12 max fans come in 5 packs so this is most likely what Im going with. I do have some gentle typhoons I never used in the closet, guess I'll pull those out for the back&bottom

Fans do not cool.
They move air.
Hopefully the air contains heat from your components, and are all working towards getting heat from the cpu and gpu out of the case.

I would start with a minimum fan configuration and experiment by adding fans and testing the results.
