Confused About System Airflow - Saxperience

dannyboy2005 · 2nd June 2010, 21:56

At the moment, i have 4x 80mm fans. Its more then good enough but have upgraded to an extra 2x 120mm fans.

I have 2 fans at the front SUCKING in cool air, and the 2 fans at the back EXTRACTING the warm air.

With these 2 120mm fans, i want to place it on the side f the case. The case has no holes drilled/ sections cut. I was wondering whats the best method for these? Extracting the WARM Air as i was thinking perhaps one over the CPU (Which will be watercooled anyway) and one over the graphics card?

Thanks

Side fans are a total no-no tbh mate, they just muck up the airflow from the front to the back of the system...fact.

Many test have been done about this and weather the side case fans inhale or exhale air they increase the overall case temp by a few oc

I would just keep the intake at the front and exhause at the back
