Only issues I'm seeing are:

  • The cpu cooler fan is either pulling hot air off the video card to push through the cooler, or its blowing hot CPU air onto your video card. Both are no bueno. Rotate that motha.

  • You are going to have some funky airflow going on with all of those fans after rotating the cooler.

It looks very nice though :)

edit: GPU to video card

edit2: Some of you are concerned about the cooler hitting the video card. Get out your magnifying glasses - look above the cooler. See the offset on that mounting bracket? That is what is making it look so close to the video card. Its meant to be pointed towards the exhaust fan (I think)

Definitely, the top 3 fans make no sense if your not running a rad behind them. Frankly they still don't make much sense oriented sideways like that.

I have the same feeling about my PC, that huge shinny block in the middle looks off, but when I build it I was insecure to use an AiO, because of the possible leaks, and the 212 Evo happens to work OK and is cheap.

only way to know for sure which orientation would be better is to test both. it varies highly depending on the particular case and fan setup. this setup may very well perform better with the cpu HS/F facing upwards

[–]GenerationBlue 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (8子コメント)

Why would you assume the fan is blowing down? It could very well be blowing up, through the heatsink. And out the top through the 3 exhaust fans.

[–]kanfayo 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (5子コメント)

You are correct. This is a popular CPU cooler - the Hyper 212 evo, and the air direction is from the fan through the heatsink.

I actually have my CPU cooler like that, with the fan pushing air upwards. there's a 200mm intake fan on the side blowing air in to the GPU and CPU and 2x 200mm exhaust fans on top. Will the 200mm side fan be enough for pushing in fresh air for the CPU to compensate for the heat coming off the graphics card?

[–]kkZZZ6700K @4.7 GHz || GTX 1070 FTW 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Is there a particular reason that you set it up that way? The cpu fan could be still pulling in some warmer air.

It sounds like you don't have any issue with warm air lingering in the case but it would probably be better if the air blowing over the heatsink wasn't facing another heat source. Depending on how close that side fan is, it probably isn't much of an issue.

[–]RaggedFountain5 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why not rotate it 180 degrees so it gets sucked out the back as it is blowing up, so it doesn't block the exhaust, unless the PSU is there......

Edit: but then it would take the hot air from the GPU.....nvm better just to blow out through the exhaust

Pushing air down pushes it into not only the GPU, but also the case. the heat can effect the performance of the GPU as well as the ram and other components. If you push it to the side of up, then you will be pushing the hot air out of the case

[–]StrawberryOverlord 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (14子コメント)

It is blowing hot air upwards. The fan blows air through the metal blades.

[–]xXxOrcaxXx 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It doesn't really matter in which direction that fan rotates. It is narrowing the space between the CPU grill and the GPU, which hinders the airflow.

[–]rspeedWhy no option for FreeBSD? 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

This is a bit different. There isn't enough clearance between the GPU and fan.

Edit: Also, that doesn't make any sense. How could the CPU possibly run cooler when using a GPU that blows its exhaust into the case?

[–]DrobUWPGTX 1080 | i5 6600K@4.4GHz/1.28V 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

yeah... something is fishy here with the airflows.

ive got some CFD experience, and the only thing I can think of is that the cool airflow from the front is bypassing the CPU cooler zone, splitting to either get exhausted through the GPU or through the top fans before it gets to the CPU cooler? the difference between the GPUs is that it's either a low pressure zone or static pressure.

I'd frankly prefer it if he remounted everything and tried it again to try and rule out setup and testing errors.

another thing people don't realize is that CPUs have an orientation, and depending on cooler heat pipe orientation, the heaviest load can either be all on one or two, or it can be spread among them all more evenly

Very nice, but are the fans for the overall look or do you think you'll need 6+ fans in a build like this? I only ask because there seems to be a fairly significant amount of diminishing returns on anything over 2-3 fans on average builds.

This also isn't taking into account the heat generated by having that many fan motors spinning inside the case which could wind up not being insignificant. Noise level is also something to note, unless that doesn't bother you and/or you opted for ultra quiet fans.

Again, I'm not trying to take the piss out of you or criticize your build. Just generally curious. I see a lot of builds with a bulk of fans in tow, but wonder if they're more for overall aesthetic or rather for performance.

EDIT: Its not worth the bother of replying to every "you're wrong" comment, so I concede. The heat generated by the fans themselves may be rather insignificant. That doesn't take away from the point that I and other commenters have noted. The variables involved in having this many fans in a 'closed' (yes, I know a computer case is not completely closed) space may hurt rather than help the temps inside. Having more fans moving hot air around the case is not as effective as having a few directing airflow over the components and out of the case.

[–]Adhmad_Dubh[S] 38 ポイント39 ポイント  (18子コメント)

It's quieter than my mac mini under load. The fans are overkill I can run them really slow.

The CPU cooler is the loudest part. I stuck one of these on. http://www.alliedelec.com/sunon-fans-pmd1212ptb3-a-2-gn/70225975/

Also, the fans look cool.

[–]Cash091http://imgur.com/a/aYWD0 30 ポイント31 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Your CPU fan is most likely ramping up because you are pulling all that hot air off your GPU. If you rotate the fan 90° to the left, the fan will be on the right side of the heatsink and make sure it is blowing air towards the back of the case, everything should stay nice and quiet.

I just really hope that CPU fan is not blowing air down.

[–]aBoatfromKhuuli5 4590|MSI 1070 Quick Silver|16GB DDR3 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (10子コメント)

If that bothers you, I don't think you'd need a 120 CFM fan unless you've got some serious OC going or something. Its also not a complete surprise to hear that its quieter than your mac mini. The thin frame and small fan(s) don't seem like they'd attribute themselves to silence.

[–]Adhmad_Dubh[S] 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (9子コメント)

I don't think you'd need a 120 CFM fan

No, but it was free. I run it really slow as well. It only goes full blast if I run prime95 or something, and even then it's not much louder than the Coolermaster fan that came on the cooler. Pushes way more air at low speed too. Higher pressure. Couldn't tell you the RPM unfortunately no tach.

When I'm gaming I'd say that fan gets up to about 50%. The original fan had to run 100% for gaming. Just surfing like I am now it's at 30% (my set minimum) and my core temps are 28c to 30c. Case temp is 26c.

I tried with 3 fans at first, and it was louder under load. CPU fan had to run faster.

I noticed a lot of these quiet fans don't have much pressure and run really slow so they don't work that great. The reason they work so well with this case is because it has so much space for fans, and so I have a cheap way to light the case. A 3 pack of those fans cost less than one of those magnetic led strips.

[–]spiritofjerryi7 2600 | EVGA GTX 1060 SC 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree with this sentiment. The majority of builds that I see on here have 3+ fans in addition to the cooler. In my build, I have a single 120mm on the front intake, and another 120mm on the back as exhaust. My temps are perfect. I can't imagine anything more than two 120mm fans are needed for anything cooling-related. That is, unless you like RGB, which seems the case here and elsewhere.

[–]ConspicuousPineapplei7 3770K / GTX1080 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

It looks like this case is designed for custom watercooling loops, where this many fans would make sense. I agree that it looks overkill for OP.

[–]aBoatfromKhuuli5 4590|MSI 1070 Quick Silver|16GB DDR3 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thats a good point. I also have a case designed for water cooling and only use 2 120mm fans. Non-K CPU and my temps never rise above 60 on the CPU or 65 on the GPU. Not saying my experience is law, but rather its not a giant gain to have a large number of fans. Unless you like how it looks, then thats your preference and who am I to tell you otherwise.

[–]Keelay_Jellyi5 6600k @ 4.5Ghz | R9 290 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I have the 303. The bottom fans are REEEAALLY tight with the ASUS maximus viii HERO. I had to omit the bottom middle fan because it was causing a lot of bend on the plugs at the bottom of the motherboard. If I were to do it again, I would get a mATX board, since I plan to move this PC to a mATX case anyway when I build the next one many years down the line.

All in all the case is built SOLID af, but it has a lot of quirks you have to work around, such as the bottom fan clearance, a lack of space for AIO coolers (they still fit though, just a bit tight) and a strange airflow layout. Can't beat the price though.

Crap, I was hoping to install 3 intake fans at the bottom with the Asus ROG STRIX Z270F ATX motherboard. What kind of fans where you using and what connectors where obstructive to your setup? Thx for the reply btw, really helpfull. Will maybe consider a µATX Mobo, but that will be more expensive.

A Mac Mini as about the size of that CPU heat sink..?

The PSU is mounted on the top, right? How do you feel about that?

[–]_HottoDogu_i5-3570K, 16GB, R7950 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Not OP, but I've had a top mounted PSU in my rig for 4 years. I would say bottom mounted is still the better option, as top mounting makes it top heavy and the PSU blows hot air onto you CPU. It hasn't really been an issue though, my temperatures are still good even with a decent overclock and at the time most mATX cases were top mounted.

PSU's intake from the inside and the exhaust to the outside though... at least in this case (pun not intended).

Nice! I'd maybe recommend rotating your CPU cooler 90 degrees counter-clockwise so that it's blowing the warm air directly out the back exhaust fan, and more importantly that way it wont be literally sucking warm air off the backplate of your 1060.

[–]arexin 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Welcome to the PCMR, don't even worry about what others say about the build, it's your build. You should rotate your CPU cooler, though. I'll agree on that critique mentioned by others. It's just restricting the GPU fans from air.

please rotate your heatsink 90degrees and place the fan blowing out the back of the case or i will be a sad boy.

right now all it's doing is taking heat from your video card and passing it through your cpu, making it hotter.

That's the problem with Apple right now. Their newer machines are slower than the old ones. I could sell my 2012 Mini today for about the same I paid for it new because it has an i7. It's still one of the fastest Macs available.
