Fan setup.?

[kinson]

Ok, I have a total of 5 fans on my current pc (if I build I'll have more but just asking for advice right now)...

Ok, this is the case I have! Not the best pics but it'll help me describe. I have 3 120mm fans, 2 are normal to the case, one in the front and one just beside the CPU and above the gpu.

I then modded 3 fans, 2 90mm, and 1 120mm (what I had at my disposal). I have the 120mm setup on the lower part of the "comb window" feature on the case, blowing in 'colder' air closer to the floor, and I have the 2 90mm (which are pretty much directly infront of the cpu and gpu) blowing out. Does this setup seem proper, or should I set all the fans minus the highest fan to blow in?

Below is the report as shown from everest. Just wondering how they look to you all. This is IDLE!

PS, no I don't have any type of cover on my fans such as leg hosing or anything, I should as it gets dusty in there ! lol

Does that say "Dual 12 cm fans in front & rear" under features on the link?

Do they mean 120cm?

10mm to the cm 12cm = 120mm (the standard larger cooling fan) its not usually stated as 12cm but its the same thing.

have a fan blow into your cpu, and gpu. Then have two 120mm fans blow out. If you can/want mod the top of the case and put a 120mm to blow out air. However, before trying this just take some time and switch fans around to see the difference in temps. Also I got the PCI exhaust fan for my GTX, dropped about 2-3c in load temps. Fan speed: 92% @ 60-61load. Try that if you want.

I have a fan right infront of the cpu, I have it sucking air out because the heatsink fan blows out, only made sense to me to suck the heat out where it's being dispersed. I then changed the fan on the left top of the honey comb and made it to where it blows it, that way it hits the case and does somewhat 3 things. Is pushed to the fan blowing out in the upper left side of the case, pushed to the cpu fan which is blowing to another fan sucking air out, or pushed down which has another fan blowing in to push the heat away. I dropped 3 degrees on my gpu and my cpu... At least thats what it's showing right now at idle.

Edit: I take that back, my processor went up 3 degrees for some reason...

I oc'd a little bit and this is what I get.

Actually I let Ntune do it , I'll attempt to get something better on my own, at least when I learn how
