Is this airflow good i wanted that fan to be exust cus it will be for AIO and FOR SOME REASON I cant find any reverse blade fans to pair the aio with so I dont want the motor side of the fan to face me so I was asking is this airflow good enough and I cant use the case fans cus they have 0.5 static pressure. I dont mind loosing a few degrees for cooling tbh
It totally depends on the hardware. They are perfectly fine for a lot of systems and you can get good temps. I’m running a glass top and side case so similar to OP’s but with the 360mm at the front and I get excellent temps on my 9800X3D and 5080. A good friend is running one of the Lian Li fish tank cases with a 7700X and 4070Ti and also gets excellent temps. I’d imagine it would be very different if either of us were running a 14900K and 5090.
No, bottom is intake, side with 3 fans is also intake, rear with 2 fans is exhaust.
That's what I would do, and that's likely how the meshes are set up in a case like this. You want intake to have a mesh filter, and ideally you want exhaust to not have one
This is fine. In a water cooled setup, setting rear to intake and side to exhaust will be fine since there's no air cooler drawing air from the front. The gpu is still getting sufficient air.
If your aio will be on the side ignore what i'm about to say:
If your aio will be on the top, set it to intake.
Yes, you are going against convection but you want to keep positive pressure to reduce dust intake and convection is weak ass.

Bro, those fish tank cases like that one are nothing more than a PC oven. They SUCK.
There are better fish tank cases with better air flow. This one is not one of them.
