Good day to you all,

first off see my specs in my sig


now see the picture



I have 2 fans in the front of my case pulling air into my case
the rear fan is also pulling air into my case
i have a rad in the roof of my case which is pushing air out of my case (2fans)


I think the norm thing to do is have the rear fan pushing air out but my reckoning is my rad has a direct cool air supply from the rear now.... and also i took apart my crappy intel cooler and i used the fan as a sort of cooler for my gpu.... which of course now as a cool air supply from the rear fan

Am i mad or can you see what I'm trying to achieve

Mad.

I never seen anyone use a stock cooler ontop of a CPU before..

You don't need to cool the back of the GPU, thats the whole point. So having the cooler there makes no sense.. It justs looks silly.

If i were you id have the front 2 as intakes and the rear and roof as exhausts. The logic being the air coming into the case is split into 2 streams, one heading for the back via the GPU and one heading to the roof via the radiator.. At the moment you've got the sir coming in "hitting each other"then going up to the rad. The GPU doesn't benefit.

Also the corsair logo should be the right way up.
 
Lol i thought so

What can i say i like to be different.

My thinking was to cool the gpu more by getting air hitting the back of the gpu... C'mon You could fry an egg on them....

I do think i would benefit from a direct cool air going through my rad... I know very little in all honesty when it comes to air flow etc.

I just imagine air coming in from the front mixing with the heat from my gpu and rising up towards the rad......

Would an intake in the front bottom and rear top not create some sort of wirlwind type of effect?

Ill do some gpu/cpu temp bench marks and see if it makes an difference......
 
O and for the corsair logo that's the natural way the tubing wanted to go so that's the way the block sat... It looks cleaning tubing wise also, it keeps the tubing out of the way....
 
The problem is with your fan location.
Front - intake, top - intake, rear - exhaust.
Use it like that and you will need something else to fry eggs :-)
As for using rear fan as intake because of the rad - I had a i60v2 with 2 fans, in exhaust position, rest of the case fans as described above and never had problems with my temps.
At the time, I had air cooled slix2 gtx660ti and 3570k oc at 4.4ghz.
 
I never have temp probs with front intake rear exhaust and top rad exhaust. I'm just messing to try and improve really.

You know the saying though don't fix what ain't broke
 
That is barmy, I mean seriously bad airflow going on in there. You want cold temps? Try front in, top + rear exhaust.

+1 for finding a use for that intel cooler though lol , cant say its doing anything though buddy

what works for one wont work for another so just experiment but you are stopping the natural direction of air flow and probably creating warm pockets in the method you are currently using
 
I shall revert to my normal operation hehe

But what to do with the Intel cooler and the heatsink is just doing my head in. There must be a good use for it?

I also have a freezer 7 heatsink. Lol
 
Holy cable batman !!! sort them cables out :( also you can use that Intel stock heatsink as a loose change holder on your desk just slot the coins between the fins.

Lol its gone back to original setup

I don't think my cables are all that bad taking the Intel heatsink out of the equation.

You should see behind my side panel now that's bad lol
