if the RAM and the video cards are parallel instead of perpendicular

[tonschk]

I Dont understand why the motherboards manufacturers insist to make the mobos with the memory RAM perpendicular to the video card slots , I think the airflow can cool better both components the RAM and the video cards , if the RAM and the video cards are parallel instead of perpendicular , now I have very few choises about mobos , there is only a few mobos with the RAM and the video cards parallel

Hi, heat rises, thus those memory modules would be at the hotest place and would block airflow from venting out of the top of the case...

No problem , I turn my PC case 90 degrees , therefore the mobo will be also rotated 90 degrees , this way the PCI slots and the RAM slots will be vertical , like in the new RAVEN RV02 case , the airflow will be total vertical , also the airflow inside my PC Power & Cooling 910W PSU will be vertical but in a upside down way , because the fresh air will go inside the PSU where the airflow usually escape from a normal PSU , this is the reason I need a mobo with vertical slot RAM

Even inside the power supply all the heatsinks are attached on the PCB parallel to each other ,to allow the airflow in just a single direction to cool all the heatsinks , therefore dont make sense to install the heatsinks perpendicular to each other

Question ......Why is BTX put forward since ATX is so popular now?



Answer:..... ....The reason for BTX release is just for heat elimination. The air passage of ATX is just like an "S"
written reversely, namely from the hard disk to chip set, CPU and the fan of power supply, and this way of heat
elimination is Not effective. BTX adopts an enclosed air passage in a straight line, and the CPU, chip set, video
card and memory are all parallel in this air passage, thus the heat elimination becomes more effective. In the future,
the BTX will become more advantageous along with the promoted power consumption of CPU

Thank you for your answer , I think is not a problem to reverse the direction of the airflow inside the PSU , the amount of airflow must be for this PC Power & Cooling 910W PSU about 30 to 50 CFM , no matter which way the airflow move ( backwards or forwards ) , the cooling effect inside the PSU is the same

I am choosing which fan to attach to this PSU , the original fan was not total silent , I have found a really silent ( at low-middle speed ) Silverstone thermistor three blades fan

There are by at least two or Three main problems with water cooling , The first is obviously much much more expensive than the simple cheap aircooling ,the second, water can touch just a few components inside the computer , the airflow on the other side can flow all over the place inside the computer cooling everything everywhere ( if the airflow is properly oriented inside the PC ) , the main problem with watercooling are the short circuit due to leaks , I am already tired to see and hear in the forums and from friends about expensive hardware lost due to leaks of water , and even if at the biginning the water used can be non conductive , after a while the chemical properties of the water can inavoidable change and become conductive

Watercooling ? ,.... No thank you

Now this motherboard start to make sense , All the Slots are parallel and of course is easy to choose the direction of the airflow to cool the components on the mobo

Sorry I made a mistake, " the cooling effect inside the PSU "is NOT the same , because the traditional use of the PSU to take out from the computer the hot air developed/produced by all the other components is not really the best design , I reversed the airflow inside the PSU to take into the PSU just fresh air from outside the case ,my PSU will be installed vertically , therefore the low amount of heat developed by this 80 Plus Silver PSU , will escape toward the roof of the case sucked out by the two 140mm exhaust fans installed on the roof

No, what you are doing is pushing warm air into the PC case. Its fine to say it is efficient, but it still produces heat. Why change the airflow around at all? I do not see the logic . . . .

And to people meantioning BTX. It started, and died a death! I doubt it will rear its head again.

Also your CPU heatsink develop heat and the warm air produced by your CPU heatsink is constantly pushed inside your case , do you permit to your CPU cooler to push warm air inside your computer ?

And what do you think is the problem to direct all the heat of the : CPU , GPU and PSU toward the roof of my case to become sucked out by the two 140mm exhaust fans installed on the roof of my case ?
