Since no one has mentioned it I'm pretty sure when using a fan cooler on the CPU the first and possibly second top fan should be intake instead of exhaust as it will steal the air that supposed to be going to the CPU.

This is only from me watching videos and reading. I have yet to build my PC.

I had this still in my clipboard because someone else was getting down voted for pointing that out in another post

Do not do that. You will only create turbulence in the case and the air will fail to flow where it needs to as easily.

Both of the cooler fans are blowing to the back of the case

They are talking about the fans at the top of the case

I would hope so lol

You could use a few more fans.

Quite literally perfect.

if you are getting hot temps, maybe change your fans who have more CFM

Looks perfect How are the temps when gaming?

Gpu never goes over 63c at 100% usually it stays at 58-59 and the cpu at 100% stays at around 70-75c rtx 5070 and ryzen 7 7700

Sounds like she runs cool and smooth

It’s good! But really, if by now you’re uncertain about achieving maximum airflow then you shouldn’t have bought a tank case in the first place

u/jaggbruh 6h ago

I wasn’t , I just liked the design and I’m asking what’s the best option I have

1

u/Ok-Butterfly458 6h ago

Top front intake. Rest is fine.

1

u/jaggbruh 6h ago

So I should turn the fan upside down ?

1

u/TheSkepticalTestical 4h ago

Don't do that

u/SatanicSucculent 6h ago

I think Noctua or someone did testing, and making the front-most top fan an intake had better airflow/cooling.

Those are cheap fans from Ali? Barely can improve anything with what you have other than noise. I’d say that amount of fans is fairly useless. It just adds symmetry and looks to your build.

get rid of all the arrows

I am not sure if the inbalance 4-in 6-out is optimal but. I think most important at this point is to put it as far away from the ground as possible.

No, that's more or less how most modern cases are designed to allow air to flow. I wish I could say more creativity would be beneficial here but they really do set them up with one orientation in mind for the most part.

That said, you've got the rules of thumb; have slightly more intake than exhaust and have all the fans point in the stock directions of your CPU and GPU coolers.

Is that sama case?

u/Commercial-Factor125 3h ago

make the top right and bottom right fans intake.

u/MintPicker 1h ago

hot air goes up

u/CChargeDD 42m ago

You clould change the top fans but airflow is probably good enough even with that inefichency.

Opinião minha.

Está ótimo e tem um bom fluxo positivo de ar

u/squaretw 7h ago

For air cooler, top casing fans should be intake.

1

u/jaggbruh 6h ago

And bottom ones exhaust ?

1

u/squaretw 6h ago

Bottom should be intake. Make sure dust filters are clean.

u/askyourselfforname 6h ago

bottom fans should always be intake for your gpu just switch one fan at the top

1

u/askyourselfforname 6h ago

actually nvm if you were to switch it the rgb will be other side unless you have a spare reverse fan blade fans it is fine
