Here's my PC. The radiator support is superb, with up to a 360/280 mm unit at the front, 420/360 mm at the top and even a 280/240 mm at the bottom. If you have a good cpu cooler and airflow design, the CPU will be supplied with plenty of cool air and the little bit of warm air that hits it will be negligible. An intake fan’s airflow decreases fairly linearly as pressure increases. They were right. [–]mckirkus 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago* (0 children). As for thermal paste, less is more, and they're all basically equivalent. Should I? I've seen a lot of talk around the internet regarding PC airflow. It will run well at high settings on 1080p or higher when playing Valorant, Fortnite, Minecraft, Call of Duty, Rainbow Six Siege, Apex Legends, PUBG, and more. I definitely recommend using top fans as intake. Imagine having a cup of water and cup of sludge (and pretend that it isn't sticky). [–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children). Looks like you're using new Reddit on an old browser. Of course, fan dust filters help in this aspect. When are we going to be able to build PCs Again? Any thoughts? Airflow is important in choosing the best PC case, especially when it comes to high-end components in tight spaces. [–]knullcon 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children), My wacky plan thus far is a duct coming in from outside with a couple of of 3M filters in between and as the very very last line of the defense, a fucking stocking stretched over the hole that leads to the machine. More exhaust fans will create a vacuum like effect in your case. Building a custom PC is a delicate balancing act. There are dust filters on each of the intake fans and one over the PSU intake grill so the case is always dust free. [–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (1 child). But thanks for any suggestions :), [–]Calvus 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children). The opposite effect happens at the outflow fans. I can put my hand anywhere over the top of the case and I can feel all the warm air moving upwards even with the fans at a quiet 600 rpm. [–]Grumpy007 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (2 children). ". /r/buildapc is a community-driven subreddit dedicated to custom PC assembly. We’re talking about physics, thermodynamics, all sorts of fun stuff. Got it? [–]Azurphax 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child), This really brings me back... about two weeks, [–]ccampo[S] 4 points5 points6 points 9 years ago (0 children). The physics behind all of this is quite fundamental, and worth researching if you are interested, but what is important to know right now is that air moves from higher to lower pressures. The problem is water in the air. It’s on version 3.0 so I’m not sure if it has more features/ big fixes. How to check if fans are intake or exhaust? I can't stand cleaning dust out of my system and PWM fans let me keep airflow (and therefore dust) to a minimum unless I'm really stressing it. GPUs are a lot hotter than CPUs and they will benefit a lot more from a side fan; so much that even if a bit of their hot air gets to the CPU, it is still worth it. If you tilt them at an angle, the water will fall out of the cup quite quickly while the syrup will crawl along. You will also notice that there is a circulation cell near the graphics cards, which is hard to avoid with this setup. Central to fluid dynamics is Bernoulli's principle, which simply states that if the pressure (or potential energy) of a fluid decreases, its speed increases, and vice versa (which is simply a restatement of conservation of energy and Newton's second law, the more universal physical laws). [–]vcarl 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (2 children). The most important thing is that your system is constantly supplied with cool, fresh, dust free air. My computer is near a window and when it is cool outside (around 60 F), my temperatures are NOTICEABLY lower, especially the CPU, which may drop by ~8 C on idle (this comes with a 10 C drop in ambient temperature). Otherwise, all the airflow in the world won’t help much to cool down your components. [–]funktion 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (1 child). Top 10 Best Airflow Case Buyer’s Guide 2020. They are also various spacious and are best for building a high-performance PC. It all depends on the setup. On the other hand, if your case doesn’t provide you with proper airflow then you could damage your parts and a lackluster I/O can make using your rig a pain. No self-promotion, advertising or surveys, No selling, trading or requests for valuation, No excessive posting (more than one submission in 24 hours), No intentionally harmful, misleading or joke advice. Temps inside this cubby and out are practically the same. As an FYI on my level for this, I hear a lot about intake and exhaust but am only guessing when I actually screw the fan in. Imagine that there is an intake fan in the 5.25" drive bays in the above picture, and both top fans were exhaust. Additionally, warm air is easier to move than cool air. 5 cubic feet. In the pictured setup, the top left fan is exhaust while the top right fan is intake. Your floor or carpet can simply block the airflow of your pc, especially if your power supply is placed in the bottom part of your pc and if your case only supports 1-2 fan slots. The resulting air is "thinner", and less dense, and therefore requires less energy to move. [–][deleted] -3 points-2 points-1 points 9 years ago (0 children). As an FYI on my level for this, I hear a lot about intake and exhaust but am only guessing when I actually screw the fan in. I wasn't sure if my case was currently positive or negative flow so I did a little test. Meaning more intake fans than exhaust. 9 drive mounting space and supports 384mm maximum GPU length and 176mm maximum hight clearence.Sollution for the cable management with double tempered glass to view the interior. The downside is that all the air seeping in through the nooks and crannies will not be dust filtered, and your system is more likely to build up dust. Thanks! The performance doesn’t just cater to airflow fanatics, however. The parts holding the motor centered should be on the exhausting side. [–]Grumpy007 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children), [–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children). It will have an i5-2500K with Hyper 212+ cooler and an MSI Twin Frozr II GTX 560 Ti. This will work as a great dust filter and you can clean it by running it through the wash or vacuuming it. Go and buy some women's tights from Target or something (get the cheapest ones and the largest size) and stretch them across the fan until they are nearly transparent (a very tight stretch). Checking the Flow of Air exiting your computer is not a difficult thing to do. As far as negative pressure systems go, you are basically creating a vacuum cleaner. Building a modern desktop PC is surprisingly easy, thanks to modular parts and a lot of solid engineering. Since you keep getting dust, you'll want positive pressure. did it not say thats bad because it blow the heat from the gpu onto the cpu ? The red arrows represent fast, hot air. The air inside will be sucked out, and therefore the air inside will be less dense than outside. Getting the air flow right is an imprecise science at best. Just because you don’t have a super-high-end system doesn’t mean you should forego doing cable management. Clean your PC on a regular basis! I have an annoying dust allergy (allergic to life it seems) and keep getting this wrong and ending up with cases that just clog up with dust. Airflow is still important however; I upgraded my case from a Rosewill Blackbone to a Corsair 400R and even with the same side panel fans (2x 12 cm fans), my graphics card temperatures were nearly 10 C lower. I would actually close them if I had any open meshes, mainly to reduce noise. Otherwise, the cases airflow isn’t very good and the cooling of the components isn’t efficient. Anything more than that gives a negligible advantage. This page has a few good diagrams that will help demonstrate the different setups. IIRC the top fans have dust filters, so you could run front and top intakes and rear exhauset, but the pressure balance might result in reduced airflow as you would have 4 fans pulling air in and only one taking air out. Any references? To avoid any confusions, we are only going to look at the 5 best airflow pc cases available in the market. The best bet is to draw out your airflow diagram and see what will provide the most wind-tunnel like effect while minimizing dust intake. For less dust in your case, try to have positive pressure. Most of the talk is about what is the best fan configuration, and everybody seems to have their own opinion without knowing any of the science behind it. As a rule of thumb I usually use around 150% of the exhaust fan displacement on the intake. All of our components are housed in the Corsair 4000D Airflow edition case. heh i am just showing you a pic from my pc that the airflow is totally different because there is a watercooling system on the cpu, i hope that the picture is self explanatory for all. For some fixed, permeable volume, there will be less particles present if the air is hot rather than cool. For PC - Hardware Discussion on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "Guide to airflow? Make sure you're using some canned air on your pc quite regularly if you're gonna do that. Choosing a good cooler for your CPU and doing a good job with your thermal paste is 1000x more important. ... High Airflow RGB LED Case Fan for PC Cases, CPU Coolers,Radiators System,6-Pack,SR12-06-6 is the suitable for you. If you have a grill or mesh without a fan on it, you can leave it open or closed. Diameter: 120 mm Airflow: 53 CFM Noise: 24.1 dBA LEDs: None Connector: 3-pin Dimensions: 4.7" x 4.7" x 1" The budget fan business is pretty competitive – when you can get a … use the following search parameters to narrow your results: Please keep in mind that we are here to help you build a computer, not to build it for you. Great read. This video demonstrates "positive pressure" airflow, but please take it with a grain of salt, since the pressure gradient is most likely tiny (and ignore the YouTube comments). I agree, except I would add that a good side panel fan will help also. That in conjunction with the thermal armour on my Sabertooth motherboard and the dust filters on the case means I get almost no dust build up at all. oddly it says the opposite in the manual - states the fan at the top should be intake. The intake and top exhaust are speed controlled (switches by the 5.25 bay). Do you recommend changing my top fan to an intake to create positive pressure? Apologies, I did try looking (as it sounds like a basic question) but has anyone got a guide to getting the airflow right on cases? You can see that this creates a convection cell which possibly recirculates warm air into the case. In the 780t (and most similar cases with two front, two top and one rear fan) I would run the front and rear as intakes and the top as exhaust, but to do that you would really want to have a dust filter for the rear fan, as you want to have a dust filter on any air intake. Realistically, the positive pressure and negative pressure systems will be very similar. Like, if you dont have top slots for fans, I probably shouldnt max out intake in the front and bottom with only 1 exhaust right? This is because the syrup is more dense! Hardware Guides. Closed will allow your case to sustain more pressure, open will allow more places for air to come in/seep out. I just leave the side of my case off and occasionally point a box fan into it. The direction of the fans push the cool air from the bottom in the same direction as hot air would normally rise and there are no obstructions to air flow, all the cables are tucked away neatly. sorry, but so I am clear, are you suggesting this fan configuration along with 2 side fans also as intakes? Also note that filters only need to be placed on intake fans. I currently don't have a fan mounted on the side panel (when I get a second GPU I will definitely add a side fan) and I wondered if that opening was pushing or pulling air. I would, yes. These specs make these hands down the best PC cooling fans on the market, however, there is a catch. Without dust filters however, you will be blowing all sorts of dust onto your components. Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy. Dust filter wise? As an added step, I would filter the fan if you make it intake. This is because most cases are chock full of holes and establishing a large enough pressure gradient in the entire case is difficult without extremely powerful fans. [–]knullcon 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (2 children). The Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L TUF is a close relative of the Q300P, and they share the same chassis, and only a … Positive and Negative Pressures - What Are They? Also, the rear of this cubby that the PC doesn't go all the way down to the bottom; only about 1/4 of the way down the PC, you just can't tell from the picture. There is a spot on the side for another fan, I just haven't installed one to keep noise down. It just seem weird to me to have intakes from 2 opposite sides of the case, but maybe the air"flow" isn't really affected, I dunno. [–][deleted] -3 points-2 points-1 points 9 years ago (11 children). The house does seem to be rather dusty, no matter how often we sweep/vacuum/mop. Top Best Airflow PC Case 2020 1. Cooler Master H500M – View on Amazon. CFM is cubic feet per minute and is how fans are rated, but is not always the most reliable stat, hence the imprecise science part. Only on intake. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Whatever configuration will accomplish this for you is what you should use. Most overrated aspect of building a PC. Yea, figured it deserved reaching a wider audience, as I have recently seen a bunch of questions on here regarding cooling and airflow, etc.. [–]sime 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child). Best PC Airflow Cases for 2020 So Far: $60 Budget to $200 High-End By Patrick Lathan & Steve Burke Published July 17, 2020 at 9:00 am . I have a mid ATX case with two graphics cards that are producing a lot of heat. The blue arrows represent fast, cool air. the hot air tends to linger around and warm up the inside of your PC I wouldn't say 1000x because I don't spit out numbers unless I can substantiate them. Have you got any advice about when to cover grills? Larger fans tend to have higher CFM ratings, and anything obstructing a fan will lower it's CFM. That way, no dust gets inside your PC. Maybe the addition of a side fan would be enough to create the positive pressure without reversing the large 200mm top fan. Hmmm This is really interesting. Besides, anyone with modern graphics card pretty much need a side intake fan to cool them. Well lucky for you, I am a trained physicist, and I'm going to attempt to straighten it all out in this post. We have already received the Corsair Crystal 280X airflow case in this article previously, but the MasterBox Q300L TUF from Cooler Master’s Q series is also a great alternative choice from our recommendation of the best mATX airflow PC case of the micro-ATX form factor. This case features a clean design and a large side window. and advice on how to improve it? [–]Grumpy007 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (4 children). Here's what you need to know about both types and which is better for your PC build. This is the place to ask! Despite the huge number of discussions, there does not seem to be any agreement on which is the best. turn the front top exhaust into an intake and yer golden. having 8 small 110mm fans at 10% speed instead of 2 120-140mm fans operating at 100%. After Jayz and GN's recent vids I decided to grab a surplus Aeron. I recently dusted my pc and it was pretty damn dusty. You want to keep in mind whether any components are going to be stifled for air by any obstructions. The numerous accessories and the user guide are also a boon for first-time PC builders. I have one intake fan on the front (12cm), one exhaust fan (12cm) on the rear, one exhaust fan (14cm) on the top, and one exhaust on the PSU (12cm, mounted on the bottom). I held a piece of paper up to it and it mildly stuck to the port indicating that it is pulling air which means my case currently has negative pressure. PC cases come in all shapes, sizes, and features—from fully loaded ATX towers to bare-bones small form factors. The positive aspect of this setup is that the system will more quickly cycle out hot air. Exhaust fans don't need covers. Get an ad-free experience with special benefits, and directly support Reddit. High airflow and static pressure fans blow air through your PC, but they do it in different ways. The Silverstone link suggested that. That being said, number of fans is not the most important part of that, CFM is. (3D rendering). Planning on building a computer but need some advice? What would be a good ratio? As air heats up, the air particles vibrate and move faster and spread out (the air expands; basic thermodynamics at work here). Honestly, I'm not even sure the fan is reversible. High airflow computer cases keep the temperature of your internal components lower compared to other cases with a solid front panel or tempered glass front panel. Cut a piece of paper towel about one inch wide and six inches long. Has anyone got a guide for getting the air flow right. Is a lot quieter plus it looks better with lighting. After I installed the second card, the average CPU temperature rose ~10 degrees, which isn't much but it tells me that there is a build-up of warm air in the case. I literally just thinking out loud on text. Most fans blow exhaust away from the open sides. I have two 120mm fans on the front that are intakes and I have a 200mm top fan that is exhaust along with a 120mm rear fan that is exhaust. Good airflow is critical; you want a good amount of space with a constant supply of fresh air. Another link by Silverstone giving some good airflow guidelines. Then, we scored units for build quality, ease of installation, phone fit, mount security, whether or not a modification to the case or phone are required, and the tendency to block outward visibility. I agree that that is a fantastic case for airflow, as everything OS perfectly laminar and obstruction free. Putting a fan on the side panel in my PC lowered my CPU temperature by 5C. [–]ccampo[S] 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (1 child). Well, in theory, a positive pressure scenario SHOULD (and the keyword here is SHOULD) work better, due to the following reasoning: in this setup, your system should pull cool air inwards through the intake fans and exhaust air out through the exhaust fans and the nooks and crannies in your case (extra vents, expansion slots, etc.). Idle temps are around 36° when totally clean. I've now bought a pc case with great dust filters (Corsair 780T) and some liquid cooling but there are still 4-6 fans to put in the case. So 2 on the front (intake), 1 top back(exhaust), 2 side panel (intake). In reality, this circulation is probably negligible, and shouldn't affect temperatures negatively. No submissions about memes, jokes, meta, or hypothetical / dream builds. Consequently, since air will want to move towards the lower pressure system, outside air will seep through any nooks and crannies. Finally, the white arrows represent slow, system temperature air. Positive airflow How about 2 front, 1 bottom on intake, and the 2 from the watercooler on top for exhaust? By the Bernoulli principle and simple physics, the fresh air will tend to push pockets of older air out of the case (through random holes and crevices like the 5.25" bays and the expansion slots) as they move towards the lower pressure outside. I know this is a exception to the rule I have a silent case, the Fractal Define R3. [–]ccampo[S] 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children). How To Build A Gaming PC: Step-By-Step Guide (2020) Putting together a gaming PC build can be an intimidating process, but it doesn't have to be … Now open the side of your computer as you would if you were servicing the internal parts. I have the Corsair 600T and I can add more fans on the side. Unless you have performed comparisons with the proper controls, you shouldn't grossly underestimate airflow. For dust do this. It shouldn't make much of a difference. Yeah, you've definitely got the theoretical aspect of it down, while they have experimental data. Has anyone got a guide for getting the air flow right. If possible, attach the CPU fan so, that the hot air is flowing towards the case fan, that is pushing the air out of the case. I am getting a 400R tomorrow and have been looking for suggestions on airlfow. You could also run one of the top fans as an exhaust and one as an intake, but this could also adversely affect cooling due to the top intake fan drawing in air that was just echausted, as there is open space between top fans and the top fan filter. This is because warm air is less dense than cool air, for some fixed volume. However, if you have multiple fans directing the direction of airflow, as you do in a PC, then the heat will go in whichever direction you push it. Last Updated: 15th April 2015 - (Rewording of Introduction) This is a step by step, illustrated guide on how to put together your parts, complete with detailed photography and commentary; it can be supplemented with a video tutorial such as Newegg’s ‘How to Build a Computer’ series found here.. If you have a top fan as intake, your CPU has even more fresh cool air, and the side fan is nothing to worry about. There’s obviously nothing fancy here… no sleeves, no sleek color scheme, no PSU shroud, etc. Trying to get the best possible airflow for the system, I have the CoolerMaster MasterLiquid Lite 240 attached in the front with a push and pull airflow going (4 Fans attached) acting as Exhaust 2 Fans on top acting as exhaust, And rear as exhuast only one intake which is the bottom beside the PSU going full power. All the above assumes that all fans are of identical performance, and that you are using a dual fan air cooler in the top. [–]pktgumby 4 points5 points6 points 9 years ago (1 child). Central to this is the debate between "negative pressure" (more air exhaust than intake) and "positive pressure" (more air intake than exhaust) systems, and which configuration provides the best cooling for your PC and its individual components. Sadly there are only so many hours I have to piss away at work. This PC is designed to deliver high performance on all of today's most popular games without being complicated to build or costing too much. No Comments on 7 Best PC cases for Airflow in 2020 Posted in PC Components By pc Posted on 2020-05-08 2020-05-20. and join one of thousands of communities. It is definitely reversible, just flip it (not rotate). When Cooler Master released the airflow oriented H500P, everyone was excited because airflow oriented cases were making a … Best Airflow Cases for Gaming and Work PC. Understanding case airflow and the physics behind it (xpost from r/gamingpc), This video demonstrates "positive pressure" airflow, This page has a few good diagrams that will help demonstrate the different setups, No submissions about hardware news, rumors, or reviews, No submissions about sales, deals or unauthorized giveaways, No submissions about retailer or customer service experiences, No submission titles that are all-caps, clickbait, PSAs, or pro-tips. If you have dust filters on your intake fans, your system should remain virtually dust free, since this scenario only allows air to be brought in through the fan emplacements. You can make a cheap filter by using women's pantyhose/tights and wrapping them around your fans (stay tuned for this!). Remember your basic fluid dynamics to determine the direction of the airflow. Because of this, you should configure your system based off how powerful your fans are and also the layout of your case. For example, if you have a fan that will allow you to avoid recirculation near your graphics cards if it acts as an intake, use it as one. A Brief Overview of the Physics of Airflow (for dummies). [–]ccampo[S] 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (1 child). Ok, let me run this by you just to make sure that I'm understanding. And then move the PC over to the right? On top of the high airflow, these fans push the air with 10.52mm H2O of static pressure, which is literally an order of magnitude more than most of the other fans on this list. It is a great idea if your air is moisture free. [–]spasysheep 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children). This is an example of a budget gaming PC that has very good cable management. The site may not work properly if you don't, If you do not update your browser, we suggest you visit, Press J to jump to the feed. A ~100 page document all about improving fan system performance, from the US Department of Energy. This means that equivalent fans on intake (with a dust filter, thus lower CFM) and exhaust will give you negative pressure because your intake fan has to deal with the filter while the exhaust fan does not. In this case with two big cards that are hindering net air flow (two 580s) and adding a significant amount of heat to the system, air flow through the case becomes much more important. Do your back and ass a favor and ditch the gaming chair. [–]dopamean 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (1 child), I have a Silverstone FT02, I think it has the best air flow out of any case I've ever used. So in order for a system to cool effectively, we must keep the pressure impedance on intake fans as low as possible. Rendered by PID 842 on r2-app-0c86560e31d3c7463 at 2021-01-07 22:17:30.911830+00:00 running 22f414d country code: US. With your computer on place the piece of paper in front of the fan on the back of your computer and see how much air is exiting by visually remembering the distance and angle of the paper as the fan blows it away from the case. Speaking of dust, you want to make sure that your computer remains as dust free as possible. [–]Ender11 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child). This method will establish a wind tunnel-like effect. If you can create a strong flow over your CPU using an exhaust fan, do that. In the case of a PC, the syrup is the cold air, while the water is the warm air! Edit: your radiator should ideally facing towards the top of the case with air coming through the radiator and exhausting towards outside air. From what I just read, the top, should it be intake? If you are searching for a new chassis for all that futuristic tech you’ve just bought, there are a few things to consider when it comes to airflow optimising.
