Here is my setup, the cpu fan is intake rather than exhaust. I'm kind of at a loss on how to position the 2 case fans i have. Any pointers?
I feel like the rear one should be intake so I can blow cool air over the cpu fan, not sure where to put the second fan though for exhaust. If I put it in the front that's just kind of weird because I'm just blowing air out the front. If I put it up top it might cause a loop where the intake is bringing in that warmer recycled air. If I make the rear fan an exhaust I feel like it's going to just suck hot air over the cpu fan which is just going to make it worse. Plus if the front is intake then it is just going to get shoved around by the GPU fans. That's another potential reason to put exhaust in the front, to get the heat out of the case being generated by the gpu, but yeah idk shooting heat out the front just seems weird to me.
Airflow is something I'm really terrible at so I'd like some pointers!
@special-boy there is not. i ended up doing the basic thing and kept the exhaust in the back and the intake in the front. seems like it worked well enough. i was going to do it the opposite way but there is an air filter on the front and i also realized that noctua probably wouldn't have designed a CPU cooler that required the back case fan to be an intake, that wouldn't make much sense.
