****Show Us The inside of your Case!****

Don't mean to burst your bubble, and I don't mean any harshness, but "heat rises" is not true when fans are added to the equation. The laws of thermodynamics are one thing. Forced airflow is another.

But the top fan may cause turbulence and restrict the intake to cooler fan. That is if cooler intake fan cannot suck the downward airflow in as easily... This can and does happen, but not saying it is happening in this case.

Again, I mean no disrespect.

Now, now, trolling via repetition?

Fans or no fans, hot air or liquid, has the natural propensity to rise.
It's called convection. If you introduce a fan into matters, you only create turbulence which gets recycled through your case and passed thru the heatsinks.

The coolest air by a narrow margin is at the bottom of the case, so take advantage of it and make this point your intake.
The single most efficient use of cooling fans is to exhaust at the top once the cooler fins have made use of the cool air from intake.

Fighting against warm air rising is possible, but why fight it when it can actually assist your case's cooling capabilities?

Why not try both and see which works better? I did and having intake in the top and front was better than exhausting through the top.
 
Hi

Just thought I would share a pic of my setup

Sorry for the poor photo

That looks amazing, I think the white lights on the bottom spoil it a bit though.

I have them there because when i put my side panel on it covers them up just enough to give like a bloom effect over the tubing and bottom half of the gpu block. It's quite nice in person, really hard to capture on camera though :(

How did you achieve the duller white lighting effect seen in the top half of the case? It does look good. Is it just those Enermax fans?

It's achieved using the enermax fans and RAM LED lighting with a twist.. The default enermax fan's LED's are really bright so i put in a resister to dim the lights to give the dull effect which coincidentally goes really well with the ram too, it doesn't overwhelm it.

The RAM also has low level blue LEDs too :)

White LED's, not blue ;)


Going to be changing out the tubing next week and adding red dye for that evil look. Also i'm going for a backlight motherboard tray using light strips.
