As a pc builder, i recommend looking on the fan for the air flow arrow that is printed on almost every fan ive seen. It points which way the air is going to flow so you dont gotta second guess
I was told you can immidiately tell which side the airflow is flowing based on the side of the fan which has a rotating center that rotates with the fans (esentially the obvious front side of fan). This side is the side which pulls air in.
it's great when those arrows are raised but i had these new noctua fans that had them recessed and i could barely see them so i filled them out with a little sharpie
Generally, you want the case fans in front of the case drawing in air while the fans at the rear blow air out. If your case has vents at the top, they should be placed as exhaust fans because hot air will rise. Side-mounted fans should be used for intake, though they often don't have air filters. What you are looking to do is INTAKE on front and bottom and EXHAUST on top and back. Altogether I have 9 fans, 3 at the front 2 at the bottom for INTAKE and a 360 AIO and back fan for EXHAUST.
@@nostrum6410 Well it depends obviously on your set up. Mine works perfectly using NZXT H6 Flow chassis. But then you should still balance the INTAKE and EXHAUST. No use having 3 front intake and only one exhaust fan, i mean you could but would not be ideal. Again another factor is the chassis.
Back when tempered glass side panels weren't a big thing, some people used to put fans on the side panel. Became so popular that case manufacturers made dedicated grills and mounts on their main side panel. The idea was for the side panel fan to get cool air immediately to the gpu, while the front fans got air to the air cooler on your cpu. While it doesn't work too well in practice, a custom cooling company recently made some 3D printable guides that separated the airflow in their case so you could actually do this. They designed their case and the guides so it would take air from the side to cool the lower half of the case, while protecting the gpu from the bottom mounted psu, and a guide for the top part so it focused air from the front intake directly into the area around both the top and where an air cooler would sit. The results were quite impressive. I couldn't care less about aesthetics, so if this became more mainstream, I'd be a happy pc guy.
My prebuild came with only one exhaust fan so I bought 3 cooler master fans with rgb for the front. These fans were so beautiful that I bought another one for exhaust instead of the default one. And I bought their master liquid. It wasn’t necessary but the aesthetics were amazing.
and this is the reason why you should addict your childeren to PC gaming asap. Then they never have enough money for drugs. They just keep spending on their pc to make it better or more pleasing to look at.
Really appreciate the video. I have been working on designing my own pc case, and air flow has been one of the things I’ve been thinking about in the design.
When I built my first pc a few years back, I thought that the three in the front and one in the back that were included in the case were all I needed. Technically, yes, but I kept watching my temps and they were within tolerance but not what I expected considering the games I was playing. Adding two exhaust fans at the top of the case dropped the temps by 20c immediately. I was blown away. It makes a massive difference.
Yeah. He should test the system without the rear one and look if there is any significant benefit for it. Air might go trough the holes decently enough.
to add why the top fans should be an exhaust and not an intake, hot air goes up so it will help the airflow going with the flow of the air instead of against it.
dont really think natural convection matters with fans in the mix. also, i got intake on the top cuz... idk actually, because I needed more exhaust I guess but then I could just swap them around I dunno
the moment you use front intake fans, thermal dynamic of hot air rising naturaly goes out the window since the front fans blow air to the back of the case. sure it helps i agree, but its not a deciding factor anymore. That would only be case in pasive cooling, not active cooling
i bought a fridge years ago. cut into the door of the fridge holes for 6 fans down one side and 6 down the right hand side of the door, left in, right out. got my mate to cnc machine some tools to create carbon fibre cowlings for the air flow onto the components and then from them to go back out, using the filters from dyson hoovers to keep dust to a minimum. run the fridge at max cooling, sealed the fans in with silicone sealant. when I buy new components, I open the fridge door as normal, take out the test rig platform it all sits on, and replace as needed, push it all back in, job done. I would say it extends the life of the components massively, ive often kept stuff running overclocked, for years.
O thank you for answering my question it was for me sister she has a fishtank style case i don't use them but will change it to have more intake over exhaust right now it has more exhaust over intake
My fractal torrent compact has 2 180mm fans in the front and that's enough, my PC doesn't overheat at all, it's crazy how good the airflow in the case is, and it's also a beautiful case imo, I highly recommend it
Bought a pre built with only 3 fans. All of them being intake fans. Had overheating issues. Bought 3 more fans and reorganized them similarly in this video and it made a massive difference.
If you have good intake and there are enough exhaust holes and your system isint superhot then you might not even need separate exhaust. 2x160 mm frontal intake on 7000 series amd system should work great.
2 intakes on AMD 7000 definitely not enough at least not when paired with a good gpu. But yeah I've ordered a few extra fans and will be doing 3 front in 3 top in and 1 rear out. Top had a filter so I'm hoping that stops most of the dust.
I certainly prefer positive pressure to avoid dust buildup and for me it works brilliantly, everyone's style and preferences are different though so it's up to you, just make sure you've got fans with inflow and outflow and maybe use a stick of incense to see the airflow and directions to ensure it's a smooth direction of airflow instead of choppy in order to maximise your cooking effect.
I like to use a burning piece of paper in my house to see how the smoke travels through my case fans. Very easy to tell how the air moves when the smoke passes through my cpu air cooler and through my GPU
I have two big ones at the top and the ones from my two GPUs (back), blowing hot air out of the PC. (no intake fan) Fresh air is coming in from the front, the side and in rare extreme situations, the bottom of the back, through the PSU. I am using a negative pressure air cooled system. The openings for air intake are much wider, so the air is moving slow, preventing dirt from being sucked into the PC. The air accelerates inside the PC, taking a lot of heat with it, cooling all parts that actually heat. My CPU max temp is 47 °C My GPU max temp is 75 °C (intentionally, but could be lowered to 59 °C)
A good rule of thumb is that, hot air rises a lot faster than cold air. Always have exhaust fans near the top of the case, while intake should be around the bottom. But just as he stated, there are a lot of exceptions
Make sure your fans actually move air, i bought some unknown to me brand on amazon, and hooking them directly to molex via an adapter, and i couldn't feel air moving more than an inch away on either side. and yes, it was my fault for thinking that there was no way to mess up a fan.
I find this advise productive, as with positive pressure (more in than out), suggests that, once powered off, air will, by default, be moving out of the computer, to neutralize pressure.
I have my front and top fans as intake and the rear as an outtake for positive pressure since I have radiators on the front and top for my water cooling loop.
My PC has the universal 3 fans at the front door intake, 1 at the back exhaust, and 2 additional fans up top for more exhaust. The Corsair 4000D chassis is spacious enough.
I meannn, I don't really recommend this if your clumsy, have kids or if your desk area is cluttered and unorganized, but I put my fans in but I also took the side glass off. My area is fairly organized, I don't have kids (that I know of at least) I no longer have any pets and my house isn't really dusty. The PC is under my desk. I really only use a water bottle to drink out of. Soo, I felt comfortable just leaving it off for more air and "breathing room." 2 years later, I have had absolutely zero issues and my temperatures are a few degrees cooler than when I would have it on.
I have 3 on the front and 3 on the side as intake (all filtered) 3 on the top over an AIO as exhaust, and one on the top rear as exhaust. PSU sucks from bottom and exhaust through it's rear. Planning to make a shroud and make the rear fan an intake for the VRMs.
I got 7 fans in my case just because i had spares and it fills everything out. 3x intake on the front and 4x exhaust (3 top, 1 rear). This results in negative pressure, but you can modulate the rpms so that the intakes outweigh the exhausts overall to create positive pressure. FanControl is free and lets you micro this stuff or you can change it in your bios.
I have a little wonky airflow setup but I did it cause of case restrictions ATX case 240mm aio, front, exhaust, can hold up to 360mm aio (wouldn't fit on top due to ram restrictions) Top 2 fans, intake Back 1 fan, intake
Hey Zach will you do a video on a super underrated cooling brand called Arctic please? Their products look incredibly sleek and outperform much more expensive stuff by a mile
With 30 and 40 series gpu it is best to put the radiator as an intake. Because if it was exhaust orientation it will only get the hot air that is coming out of the gpu
I have 3 front and 2 bottom 120mm fans set as intake and 3 120mm top rad fans and a 140mm rear for exhaust. Should provide plenty of fresh cold air and keep all air moving to prevent hotspots. My mobo is equiped with 2 movable thermal probes and a mic that detects fan noise in addition to the usual chip thermal monitoring and it stays near ambient temps under load on silent mode.
I prefer a positive pressure build, in at the front or bottom and exhaust up top, this is because heat wants to rise and to force the dust out with that pressure.
Probably should also remind that you want both regular and reverse bladed fans Regular fans can be your intake fans while the reverse blade fans can be your exhaust
One thing you should 100% mention that makes a bigger difference that anything else, MAKE SURE YOUR RADIATOR FANS ARE INTAKE NO MATTER WHAT. I have seen way to many people run radiator fans as an exhaust and you are just frying your cpu.
My rule of thumb is to match all the fans and always have at least 1 more intake than exhaust. Otherwise you gotta go by cfm and many won't understand how to do that.
So in 2022 I bought my first desktop pc, and at the time I didn’t know anything about pc, so I just didn’t know how big of a scam it was. The pc had: I5-10400F Asus prime H410 M-E Corsair CV 550W 80+ bronze Kingston Fury 16GB (2x8GB) 2666MHz Kingston 500GB M.2 NVMe GeForce GTX 1650 4GB Paid almost 300 for THE 1650 ALONE( I googled and it didn’t cost that much even at launch). For the whole pc paid around 800€(keep in mind I bought it in Europe bc I live here). I’m still mad at them.
What if you, like me, have the water cooler mounted on top, I want the fans to that radiator to suck in cool air from above. Not blow hot air from under it?? Seem kinda weird to blow hot air on the cooler.
If you have an AIO, keep the bubbles in mind while mounting the radiator. Having g the connector at the top or pump are the 2 worst setups. This was shown in almost every pic.
Actually there are circumstances when you might want your top fans to be intake rather than exhaust. For instance. You only have 2 120mm fans on the front for intake. But 1 120 on the back for exhaust, then you buy a 240 AIO and top mount it. So now youre adding 2 240 fans to the top. If you put them as exhause youll end up with negative pressure airflow.
As a pc builder, i recommend looking on the fan for the air flow arrow that is printed on almost every fan ive seen. It points which way the air is going to flow so you dont gotta second guess
I was told you can immidiately tell which side the airflow is flowing based on the side of the fan which has a rotating center that rotates with the fans (esentially the obvious front side of fan). This side is the side which pulls air in.
Is it fine to mix fans from different brands?
@@redvic83 yeah but the more powerful fans need to be set to intake
also pretty easy to tell if you turn it on
it's great when those arrows are raised but i had these new noctua fans that had them recessed and i could barely see them so i filled them out with a little sharpie
I recommend looking at the fan blade and how it cups one way or the other. It will scoop air in only one direction.
Sometimes theres an arrow on the side telling you what way air goes
Easiest way to tell is, the side that has the supports is the side that air is pushed out.
All I know is 'Faces Suck'
The side that curves point to is the exhaust
Just imagine the blades as scoops.
Generally, you want the case fans in front of the case drawing in air while the fans at the rear blow air out.

that sounds like extreme overkill to me
@@nostrum6410 Well if you really want cool temps then, and no it's not.
@@MrMin316 bet you could take out half the fans with little difference
@@nostrum6410 Well it depends obviously on your set up. Mine works perfectly using NZXT H6 Flow chassis. But then you should still balance the INTAKE and EXHAUST. No use having 3 front intake and only one exhaust fan, i mean you could but would not be ideal. Again another factor is the chassis.
What about asus ap201??, the only intake fan available is from above
at one point i had all intake for my fans, even the radiator, and my gpu and motherboard set fire💀
Damn bro I hope that you saved everything else 💀
Rip bro's PC ⚰️🙏🌹
RIP PC.
this setup isn't dangerous lol it's obviously better to have an exhaust fan but you only really need one or two
😂😂
3 in the front 1 in the back was one of my favorite community videos
Damn I’ve been spinning mine with my hand all this time
@greygreygreypoodamn right
i've been doing this since i got my pc. a bit annoying since i have 2 hands and 4 fans, but a crank for all of them really helps!

I knew someone would say this 😂
Yeah. He should test the system without the rear one and look if there is any significant benefit for it. Air might go trough the holes decently enough.
That’s what she said
I have always been running two 140 and one 120 in and three 120 out. slight over pressure and it works really well.
Thanks!! I am building my first pc soon and this is one of the things I wasn’t sure about
Explained very well and accurately.
I'm buying new fans soon and I was asking myself exactly this lol
to add why the top fans should be an exhaust and not an intake, hot air goes up so it will help the airflow going with the flow of the air instead of against it.
dont really think natural convection matters with fans in the mix. also, i got intake on the top cuz... idk actually, because I needed more exhaust I guess but then I could just swap them around I dunno
If the top fan are intakes,the will suck and blow the dust directly to the motherboard's components and GPU,which is not good.
Depends on case
In fish tanks it will change
@@arghyaprotimhalder5592 also with some mesh cases, going all intake except for back exhaust can actually bring temps down a good bit
the moment you use front intake fans, thermal dynamic of hot air rising naturaly goes out the window since the front fans blow air to the back of the case.

got my mate to cnc machine some tools to create carbon fibre cowlings for the air flow onto the components and then from them to go back out, using the filters from dyson hoovers to keep dust to a minimum.
run the fridge at max cooling, sealed the fans in with silicone sealant.
when I buy new components, I open the fridge door as normal, take out the test rig platform it all sits on, and replace as needed, push it all back in, job done.
I would say it extends the life of the components massively, ive often kept stuff running overclocked, for years.
Also hot air moves up, so encouraging hot air to go up faster than it usually moves, it improves airflow.
Did David Icke dirty 😂

They should add like a carving of the fans that say in or out
Bought a pre built with only 3 fans. All of them being intake fans. Had overheating issues. Bought 3 more fans and reorganized them similarly in this video and it made a massive difference.
Putting exhaust at top is not because of dust but because of convection where hot air goes up and cold air goes down
that would make very little difference
3 in the front 1 in the back had me laughing.
What i did is also take into account that some psu can be used as an exhaust fan if it didnt use fresh air intake.
I noticed that in my case having all of my fans as intake and only one as exhaust brings my temperatures down by a lot

having an intake on your radiator while it’s top-mounted is completely fine. Supplies cool air for your AIO to do its thing.

Setting your fans is something so simple, but most people make it look so complicated and overlooked
Also, hot air is much less weight than cold air, so top fans must exhaust the air
Another thing to consider, is if your top intake fan is really close to your top right exhaust, you may want to put them both as intake.
3 front, 1 rear and 1 top/rear.

Me who has a ceiling fan over the unit, but the amount of dust inside is breathtaking 😮
Basically, you don’t want more exhaust because you make a vacuum which makes your case dustier

That’s literally my fan setup and same cooler I thought I was looking at mine for a sec except I’m waiting on my gpu lol
Love your videos ❤️
The top fans being exhaust is also because of the fact that warm air rises. You don’t want your airflow to be fighting thermodynamics.
I think we figured out the cpu cooling. The new modern issue I seem to be having now is gpu overheating. But hey, pretty Founders Edition.
The fans on the top side of the case are also best for exhaust BC warm air goes up so having them as intake would be stupid.
please get carter to do the thug shake

Top fan to the right intake top fan to the left exhaust. If you have a tower cooler. Othervice the top fan will steal airflow
I recommend watching LTT's video about how much case fans. Usually one front and one back are enough.
If you have an AIO, keep the bubbles in mind while mounting the radiator. Having g the connector at the top or pump are the 2 worst setups. This was shown in almost every pic.
Actually there are circumstances when you might want your top fans to be intake rather than exhaust. For instance. You only have 2 120mm fans on the front for intake. But 1 120 on the back for exhaust, then you buy a 240 AIO and top mount it. So now youre adding 2 240 fans to the top. If you put them as exhause youll end up with negative pressure airflow.
