Itx sb air flow advice

Hi!

Tried to do a rough sketch with standard 300 mm makerbeams, just need some input before i start ordering parts, note that side and top panels are hidden in the model.

Plan is to support std. 9,5 inch GPU and some std. i5/i7 non oc CPU, is the twin 140 mm intake and twin roof mouinted 92 mm fans exhaust fans going to be enough? Don´t want to make to much idle noise.

I would be using a SFX-L psu and a reference GPU cooler.

Thanks for some advice =)

Oddly I've been working on a fairly similar build configuration to this and one thing I've slotted in are a pair of 80 mm fans above the I/O plate to help increase airflow out the back of the case.

I like it! Looks like it would only fit smaller sub-7" GPU cards, rather than the 9.5" that you mentioned.. maybe it's just the perspective?

Yeah it´s the perspective, this is a shot of the left side of the sketch

Looks good! I think those fans will be enough, but maybe use 120/140 mm top fans? Looks like they can fit.

Also what cpu cooler are you going to be using?

I got a huge arctic LP cooler already so that´s the first one im going to use. I think its sufficient.

For the building part im going to use old used parts, i5 2500 cpu and a gtx 660.

Then if the fit and finish are good then maybe switch to a good noctua cooler that fits.

Yeah thanks for the tip, a managed to move the motherboard some mm and it looks like a slim 120 mm fan would fit (cyan model is a 120x120x15 mm slim fan.

But I think i need to build a cardboard model for the top panel, it´s really about millimeters.
