Air Flow in PC CPU

[DeenzX]

What do you guys think about Branded gaming desktops and their cooling?
For example: Alien x51, ASUS ROG Tytan etc.

Uh, SLS changes frequently. Why not walk around Level 4 & 5 and peek into every shop? I remember this shop "Laser distribution" with a few fans.

Lol, you have over 3K posts and you are new? Cannot be right..

 

[wtfwfs]

sadly mine can be like this only....
coolermaster k282 case.

intending to mod the side to a window so im left with 2 fans....

Go for more intake fans than exhaust... intakes have to be filtered to ensure clean air inside the rig... positive pressure is better than negative pressure...

Negative pressure sucks air from unfiltered sources... gaps in your case...

Filtered positive pressure ensures that only clean air gets into your rig...

new to com hardware, not to hardwarezone lol. i started taking an interest in diy computing recently, and hope to build a system of my own soon

i can also testify that positive air pressure is better than negative, especially when you have graphic cards that do not exhaust the hot air out of the case. here is my setup:

2x intake front

1x top back AIO intake and 2x top exhaust:

graphic card does not exhaust hot air out

instead, due to the positive pressure, will be forced out of the vents of the pci slots.
the only bad thing with my setup is that the hot air exhausted will rise up and be sucked into the case by the AIO intake on top.
However i did some test with the case window off and on. With the side panel off, my gpu temp was max 65 degrees during furmark test. with it on instead, the temperature is 63 degrees max after the same duration of furmark test. proves that the positive pressure created by the enclosed space and fans works.

after some fiddling with my case i notice there is a vertical pci slot which if i buy those pci mounts i am able to mount some fans on it to blow air straight to my gpu and maybe to my cpu but the problem i have is where can i buy those pci mounts and should i use it instead of putting a side fan?

example of the mount i am talking about

Looks good, but how you deal with dust? That front panel looks really troublesome to clean.

 

[crystalnox]

Anybody knows where to find AC Ryan UV lighting cooling fans? Donno how well they function but the looks itself is badass enough.

Those are really old school, gonna be impossible to find. Just go with corsair led fans nowadays, they look pretty good.

Corsair fans are very expensive. With that price (@~$20 each) I can get 2 CM fans..

The af120 quiet condition can be bought at $30 per twin pack. Anyway it seems the noctua s12 is highly regarded in amazon and newegg as well.

Not sure about his, but there are filters on my cosmos s drive bays. Not demciflex quality i suppose.

pretty easy. remove the entire front panel and spray water like crazy from the front and back. leave and dry and it will be good to go again..
there is some filter mesh in the interior of the mesh panel as well..

Here is a preview of the insides of my Rig:
The 2 front fans, the view is too obstructed by the HDD cage. Having a NZXT Phantom 410, you can't really see them from the front. So yeah, you can see a Corsair on the top and a red glow at the bottom.

This is my bottom fan. Just a cheap one as bottom fans are famous for dust collection. My dust filter at the bottom has already collected more dust in months than both the front fans.

This is my back fan. Very nice glow from Enermax. Really like the multi-led design, even though it is blue. I dislike blue led fans because everybody is using them. The same color blue. Everywhere. No idea why.

This is my top 2 exhaust 140MM fans. They are beautiful. Good job from Xigmatek.

anw folks thats wants to get casefans... im offloading my fans (corsair and coolermaster) its in the it garage section...

JY in getting airflow madness

 

[DeenzX]

Currently, there is the Corsair AF series with purple LED.
But I realize there are very little case fans featuring unique color-lightings.
Where are the pink, yellow & cyan ones?
Heck, even orange lighting are rare like the purple nowadays..

Please post some shops where we can get any of those color-lighted led fans!
