“Other wise”
*leaf blower sound starts in the background
I installed industrial Noctua fans in my case, the thing is louder than a leaf blower xD
But got HDD temps down from 45 to 30 degrees at max load
@ObinAtor Yeah those are meant for servers where the foot traffic is low (so the noise and revs can be limitless), but for a consumer PC they're overkill at max revs.
@@obinator9065 same in a mini itx. Complete overkill but it's nice to know that if I really want to I can freeze the components without annoying water
And if you got more powerful fans, especially with as many fans in this video.... *Jet engine noises intensifies*
Basically the PC version of a PS4 💀
My gpu sounds like a leafblower randomly
damn I hate cliffhangers 😢
@Gabriel Gledhill never heard of that, so no. Can YT Premium be the cause to this?
@Gabriel Gledhill what about android app?
@Gabriel Gledhill XDDDDDD
Since the video is intended to automatically repeat, many people on shorts have the last line lead back into the first.

“Make sure to adjust your fan curves so they aren’t always spinning at max speed”
The PS4 engineers at Sony: “damnit I knew we forgot something”
Haha they are not forgot obviously ps4 heating fast with framerate higher than 30 and it’s actually nearly always hot.
I took mine apart and cleaned the fan and cooler. It wasn't hard. Whisper quiet after.
nah i'm pretty sure they overclocked them fans to make them louder
@@qPalee seriously. Just take it apart and clean it. It's super easy.
The fan noise is produced by a capacitor. I was shocked, too, when I cleaned it and changed the thermal paste. There’s a video of someone trying to replace that capacitor, but I don’t remember if he managed to get rid of the noise.
I have only negative pressure in my PC case. Temps are good, dust is good too (it’s everywhere).
LMAO
Gotta make sure the air you breathe in is fresh.
Start by cleaning the floor regularly and having an air purifier.
@@probablynotdad6553 you are correct but sadly air purifiers at max speed are as loud as or even louder than a PC under full load.
@@Trippsy05 My house airconditioning and ceiling fans both drown out any noise my case fans make under full RPM.
Pretty sure an air purifier isn't going to make any difference to the noise in the room.
For my old tower, I just took the side panels off and parked a box fan next to it. Coolest I've ever run.
Buddy did that in the early 2000s, until a bottle of coke next to it fell in a way that the cap hit the edge of the graphics card and ripped the port off the MB. Its a learning process.
@@BatLB take an big fan, that ”protects” the pc
I did this while I was waiting for my case fans, my graphics card was running at 40 under load
@@AlaskyHuskyG airflow is a joke to you ? Lol
@@BatLB yes, nah lol
When in doubt, do the “paper test”. Place a thin piece of paper in front of fan. If paper “sticks” to fan air blowing in. If paper is “pushed” back by fan, air blowing out
Brilliant :-)
🤯
Tf ....
Genius
Which one is better? 😐
I thought I had set my fans up wrong but it turns out that they're actually in the right way. Mission failed successfully.
underrated comment
haha funny 😐
This video helped me finally understand why positive pressure is better!! Thank you LTT
But it’s not, for cooling at least it’s not better.
@@UseWallow yeah not that hard to keep your pc clean if you aint a lazy fat discord mod lmfao
@@me6057 woke up and chose violence
I have negative air pressure in my case and it, surprisingly, is the setup that has given me the best temps. 9 exhaust fans on three radiators with one intake on the back in the lian li 011 xl.
the main point is less dust. You might get better temps but dirtier case.
@@johnsnow1749 then learn how to clean, I also use negative air pressure for better temps. I dont go as far as op though I use 3 intake and 4 exhaust.
@@hivemind8817 you underestimate my laziness.

That last episode tho
@@1.0xY.m0r0n dude got lucky
@@revemb4653 he didn't
I wish fan companies had rgb fans that also spun in the opposite direction so that all the fans would look pretty
There is at least one that does that for that reason. They only perform OK though but if RGB is what you're after

Well if its stupid, but it works
Then its not stupid

I like to imagine James is reading these comments and laughing like dr evil right now 😆
This is literally perfect timing i just got my pc fans from Amazon
me too i did 4 days ago omg they are watching
The positive pressure comment is genius; thanks for that insight!
Otherwise? Finish your sentence!
Your fans are louder and die faster
Peter Parker can fragment whatever sentence he wants.
@@williwonti well louder yes but die faster does it matter? I've had fans running at full speed for 8 years they're probably ready to die but they still work. Four of them are currently cooling my GPU via radiator at 36°C idle for 8 years.
Fans do not die lol...I had mine for 10 years at full speed everyday
@@Igmus agreed. Fans rarely die. I've had the ones on my Nzxt cooler for 4+ years and the ones in my case are also about 6-7 years old running at full speed and they still go to their hearts content
If your pc tower comes with a dust filter i think it's good to have a slight negative pressure cuz it's always good that all the hot air is taken out of the tower and allows more cold air to get sucked in
I've got better advise: make a riser for your case, so it is not on the floor or on your desk sucking up dust at all
it can’t get dust while on a riser? what would the difference be between a rose and my desk
@@NdEfOrYdOdKfI a rose ? It can and it will suck up dust, just greatly less
@@janrozema7650 what makes a riser better then my desk
@@NdEfOrYdOdKfI it can suck up the dust that lands around the pc. You kick this dust up with your feet or when it is on your desk with your hands or moving a stack if papiers for example.
Over time this builds up.
If it is raised up, it will be further away from the surface on with the dust lands and so it will suck up less when dust is blown up into the air.
I made a very simple wooden frame wich is open on the underside. After years of standing on the ground in a very dusty invironment it was relativly dust free.
I checked after a couple of year and decided not to bother at all and closed it back up again.
Sadly in a cigarette smoking and animal hair environment the dust is the very least of my issues. Only once were my filters truly filled with dust, and I had gone a long time without removing them that time. The nicotine and cat hair is what gets ya.
Beautifully explained, now walk me through what I need to do exactly
Good short vid! I prefer negative pressure with dust filters though. Almost no dust at all and certainly less than no filters + positive pressure. Also the negative pressure with exhausts at the top help the chimney-effect so you can run very low rpm with air coolers!
I've tested this with 1 exhaust fan at the top/rear against 3 intake fans at the front. Taking the front fans out made the temps raise about 5°C (70 to 75), while taking the rear fan out showed 83°C.
But for idle desktop stuff, I stop the rear and top fans but keep the 3 front fans at 350 rpm to only have the negative pressure + chimney-effect under load.
an actually useful short. thanks for the info
It seems you either overlooked, or picked the wrong alternative, in the _'Region'_ option when ordering your household fans. Those are *_Australia_*_ spec_ fans.
I never thought about the dust getting pulled in with negative pressure in the case. Good tip!
I finally understand air preasure within a pc case system thank you
"Are you installing your fans properly?"
No, no I'm not. Because I bought my pc prebuilt
Why u here bro go to your tree house
Precisely. But did the people who built your PC install everything optimally? Why not open it up and make some adjustments?
OTHERWISE WHAT! I have no idea what could happen!
Probably was want to loop so it's "otherwise are you really installing your PC fans properly?"
@@b2mark914 what? no...
only thing that affects fans lifespan is the orientation and bearing design. Some bearings fail faster if mounter vertically.
Fans rarely spin at full speed and most are designed with low RPM limits anyway.
Examle: 120mm fans usually have 1200rpm limit and can run at 100% for years. If the RPM is 2000 or more then yes you'll need to adjust the fan curve but mostly to keep it quiet since 2000rpm 120mm fans would be loud.
Negative air pressure is much better for flow/turbulence, getting way better temps, you just have to keep your desk clean and do some maintenence every few months.
Honestly, there's going to be just as much dust regardless of positive or negative pressure...which is kind of a dumb distinction to make on a pc case with a bajillion holes in it anyway...I miss the old LTT.
@@halomaster985 u sure about it?
@@rodrigoferreiramaciel4815 If you have a DECENT PC case made in the last 10 years, you probably have dust filters built into the case, or have removable filters. Those filters are only going to allow so much dust/air in, unless of course, you never clean them.
I normally can’t hear my fans at full tilt from their home under the desk. Only when nothing is playing through my headphones do they come through. Unlimited power for the spin gang.
a real tech tips btw
NEVER! I will negative pressure my case and love it.
Now this is truly a tech tip
One of the few times that the auto replay feature of these shorts added any value.
I removed all my filters and have negative pressure with all fans maxed out. I also love cleaning my pc
"are your fans installed correctly" no i used zip ties
It's crazy I was literally installing my fans for the first time when I opened youtube and this showed up on my feed. Great time lmao
Just ordered a bunch of Noctua fans for my new build.. 4 intake and three exhaust
Living in a simulation.......i swear lol...hours ago I looked up this information to make sure my gfs new case and fans would get the best way to set them up....
that's called cookies.
Are you really thinking it is a coincidence?
@@magamednohchi yes but this video had just came out the same day
@@jelly8594 Only because they had released this video the same day I'd looked it up.
This content really should be in your OnlyFans account! 😁👍
What do you mean? 🤔
Oh my God I finally got the joke 2 days later
There can be benefit to negative pressure as well, in some cases (h510 comes to mind) the main place it’s going to pull in air is through the PCIE slots which is going to give your GPU plenty of fresh cool air.
Am I the only one who likes going in HW info and cranking the fans to full speed so I can hear the computer becoming an airplane??
I literally ordered my pc parts a couple of hours ago and needed exactly this.
Is 3 intake 1 exhaust (4000d) good?
@@sharifatassi yes
@@sharifatassi honestly if you want to know if they should be intake or exhaust you'll need to look for somebody that specifically tested that case (it's popular so I'm sure there is) This is because while negative pressure will increase the dirt in your case it does sometimes perform better. Also optimal fan placement is important.
@@sharifatassi please tell me you didn’t buy noctua fans
@@Nick-00001 nope I got more of the same that were included with the case, corsair
I always prefer a slightly negative pressure for the best cooling at higher temps, but it really depends on your fan positioning... an exhaust next to huge openings with negative pressure would just recycle the hot air. There is no ideal scenario regarding pressure, the important thing is to know how your case works
I'm a big fan of this channel! good content!
positive pressure good in pc application. Negative pressure is usually the way to expel gases from internal combustion engines
didnt you bust the pressure myth yourself years ago? also, some cases like NZXT H500/510 performs better with negative pressure.
Yeah it makes almost no difference in terms of cooling but it will be less dusty inside if you have positive pressure
Some older fans made by superred are standard fans but they blow the opposite direction
My molex fan: "yeah, sure. set the damn fan curves"
I really think you guys need to go back and review this... When holding the PC fan up to the 'household' fan, you're holding the PC fan backwards. You state a moment later that the 'nice' side is the intake side which is the side you had facing the camera in that shot. So if you properly put the PC fans intake towards the household you'd see it's actually spinning clockwise as well.
PC fans and room fans spin the same direction in reference to airflow. If the air is coming towards you the blades spin clockwise. If they air is blowing away from you the fins are spinning counter clockwise.
"Positive pressure" is other word for "dust collector".
This is the first time ever I hear someone recomment positive pressure
The default curves on motherboards are fine. Its just a linear flop rate relationship. There are pros and cons to each curve style depending on what you want, but most people won't notice or care for those from the linear line.
You're the only person I've seen that has recommended positive airflow. Everyone else recommends neutral airflow
Every fan spins counter clockwise, the only thing that differs is if you're measuring from the front or behind the fan.
Thanks i needed this
I really like how the top intakes are right next to the top exhaust, making 3 of the fans essentially useless. Maybe some educational TikToks on actual air flow would be helpful instead of super basic “6-4=2=good setup”
Good video!
Thanks!
I can't believe I didn't know there are arrows on my fans 😭😭 I spent so much time carefully deducting which side the fans blows, thank youuuu
OMG I built my pc when I was 12 in a Corsair 5000d and arranged my fans exactly like this, using my common sense, and logic.
U want some internet points?
You realize that depending on where you live that you have to change what direction your fan rotates based on season (to either pull hot air up in summer or cold air up in the winter)
you understand it's the same, right?...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................right?
i didnt even know that household fans spun a specific way
According to Steve, you can't even install fans properly... 😂😂😂
They can't 😂
I do only negative pressure (=suction?) because cavitation is so awesome when gaming. ;)
I've always built mine with exhaust pressure in mind, but I always tape off all the tiny holes mentioned here, even the vents in the rear. Only real issue I have is dust collecting around the small holes in the I/O shield around the ports, quick hit of duster makes quick work of it tho (wasn't an issue when I started building 20 years ago). Sometimes I miss the days when heat wasn't really a concern, a single 80mm fan out the rear + PSU fan was sometimes more than you needed
We in Australia like to call the counter-clockwise direction, 'standard spin'
This was on of the most useful Linus tech tips I've seen and it's not even one mini long! What!? 🤯
nailed the music !!! , song name ? :P
Same, been looking for this one for one long while
The arrows really help.
The spin in exactly the same direction lmao. Based on the direction of the airflow they are the same
“Otherwise…”
AUGHHHHHH
The main reason for not having negative air pressure is only related to air cooling and doesn't really apply to water cooling. Negative pressure means less air molecules in the case to transfer the heat energy into. Somewhat less importantly, but more impactful over time, negative air pressure causes more dust to accumulate on the inside of the case.
"Negative pressure means less air molecules in the case" 👋
If he has a twin hes the evil one
My case has neutral air pressure since it has two intakes and two exhausts. I could tune the fans to make sure there's a little positive pressure, but I prioritize quiet operation, and my case gets dusty VERY slowly. Like, I didn't clean it in over 3 years and it still looked really nice and not gross at all, even with rgb all over it.
Is equal pressure good?
Im pretty sure all my fans spin clockwise
Information level: Expert
Yes I really am installing them properly. Thanks for asking.
"PC Fans turn counter clockwise" .. *staring at my scythe fans in confusion* I beg to differ sir.
Me: *PC turns on* yeah it’s workin.
Ah dang, I technically have negative pressure as I only have 1 intake but 2 exhaust. I also haven't put my side panels on in months though...
Those fans are almost useless if you have a completely open PC
Fan control is godspeed. Go hunt down the software and support that guy
I have 3 exhaust (back and top x2) and 5 intake (front x3 and bottom x2). Works great for my MSI Codex R 110 case.
Front and bottom should be intake and back and top should be exhaust, helpful tip!
It’s ok. I’m usually playing flight sim anyways so the sound of my pc blowing real loud actually makes it feel like more of a cockpit 😂
lol thanks I was struggling a lot
Man, this is like taking care of a dog. Taking it on a walk daily, and bathing them daily
ML120s (non-rgb) are excellent quiet fans, unless you forget to set the fan curve and they spin at MACH JESUS.
I have 19 fans in my case including 3 blower style. It sounds like a jet plane at idle...
i prefer slightly negative air flow. makes sure all the excess heat is pulled quicker. slightly positive air flow will hold the heat in more. slightly positive airflow will give slightly more heat diffusion, but it'll be more temperamental as there will be more hot pockets.
When you haven't realized that fan spin direction depends on which side you're looking from 🤔👌
Did you learn that just now?!
@@Avke92 Yes, before this, I just turned them 180dg, but it only worked a couple of times..
Opti actually reccomends for small itx builds negative pressure to actually encourage air through mesh and stuff
Also:
Hotter air always is above, if you have few coolers, make sure to put em high,if 2 coolers, put the front in middle (if u put it down, you have chances of make dust come in, unless u clean your PC a lot)
I had no idea I spin counter-clockwise
Bro, how are you? Got my PC case that I’m going to buy right there
My pc fans are installed in place with literal twist ties 😂
Negative pressure is good in itx small form factor pcs, sucking heat away from the gpu and forcing more air in through the side panel, helping get even more air to the gpu
Negative can be good too, but yes lots of dust
When he finds out you can change the direction on your ceiling fans 😆
*Speaking in heavy:* Fan is fan 😂
I have never seen a computer fan without an arrow.
i have 3 of them here, corsair...
