Case fans and Tuniq Tower

[Jimmy Swanson]

Hello, I am building a system using my old Antec Perfomance Plus 1080 case. However, the Tuniq Tower mostly sits in front of the rear case fans. The other available places for fans are a case side fan, the low front (path mostly all open) and a fan in the 3.5 drive cage bay.

So, I guess it's best to see how many fans I will need to run. I assume for sure the low front one and the side one both blowing into the case as well as maybe the drive bay one blowing in if needed, but as the Tuniq (which has it's own fan blowing out towards the rear) is pretty much blocking the two fans in the rear, should I even run two rear fans there??? I mean, would there be any significant benfit as the hsf would just be blowing outwards into fans that are also blowing outwards?

The rear case fans will help suck the air out of the Tuniq Tower, which will assist with CPU cooling. It'll probably be better just to leave them in there, they won't hurt anything and they'll remove the majority of hot air from inside the case.

I agree, only if the lame purple brackets prevent physical installation should they be removed (in that case I would remove the brackets and mount a 92mm fan directly to the case as those brackets have caused strange vibrations anyway). Heck, if you make a duct from the exhaust side of the Tuniq to the bottom exhaust case fan, it'll even help directly with CPU temps.
