okay so im thinking about this new fan layout for this case and wanted to ask you guys opinion.

here is before:

the reason why i wanted to is because it dosnt have much airflow to the cpu / ram. the big high cfm fan in the side window is blowing at the video card which i think is like a wall stopping any cool air getting to the cpu.

so this is what i wanted to do

switching the rear exhaust to an intake and adding a filter to it. and chaning the top ones to exhaust ones (hot air rises)

dont have the top 2 fans yet so was just wondering what you guys thought.

jw about it so the hot air isnt being stuffed right into a wall. (case is ontop of desk) so there is unlimited space above it

looks abit to complex for me.

i keep things simple,
air in through the front via 2x 120 intakes (1 of which is a 69cfm)
out the back through gpu exhaust, 1x120 fan and 1x120 in the psu mounted at the top of the case.

keeps the air moving in 1 direction.

usually I go in from the front low, and out through the back top. My case has 2 x 80mm in the front pulling in, and 1 80mm at the back and 1 80mm at the top.
