AirFlow

So my case mod for the cooler master comp is coming along slowly, but i have a question about airflow.

which would be better first or second?

You want an air intake at the front. And air extraction at the back and top

Why does the air intake need to be at the front? why not at the back?

Thanks for the responses of normal case ariflow, however this is a modded case hence normal case airflow doesn't apply - a bit sketchy i know but i have to keep my ideas under my hat!

So from what your saying mc_bob (and the way i'm thinking) there's no benefit in having the top blowhole as an intake. as in the second diag

The intake fan should be at the bottom of the case - be it at front or back it shouldn't matter

Hi,

If im correct your air flow in the case should look something like this.

Thats great for a normal case, no disputing that fact, but thats not the way my modded case will be layed out.

Cheers Yewen! the PSU part helps with the decision.

I'm going to go with picture 2 but will probably make the top an exhust as well.

All will be clearer when you see my mod log for the CM comp!
