Hello,
In my case there are now 2 92mm fans at the bottom front of the case, with HDD mounting bays infront of them, with 2 92mm fans exhausting, one at the top of the case and one at the back.
My 2 questions are -
My 260GTX is directly behind the hard drives. Should I mount the 2 HDDs in the bottom slots so the top of the card gets cool air flow, or mount the HDDs at the uppermost slots so the bottom of the card (where the fan is) gets more cool airflow? The HDDs are all very cool (25-28C) but I was thinking the air coming off them is probably warmed slightly. Basically - which side of a graphics card needs the cool air - the top or bottom (fan) side?
And also - would it be worth considering moving them out the way altogether to the 5.25" bays with an adapter or would this be a waste of money?
Thanks
