Belexes Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Hello, I'm new the forum and have a question for anyone who has knowledge of air flow. I have a Genesis 9000 case which has an inverted motherboard tray (an option that I chose for ease of access). There are two 140mm intake fans on the bottom of the case and two 230mm exhaust fans on top. I would like to add a Corsair H100i cooler on the bottom but I'm not sure if I should position the fans as intake or exhaust. Currently, the only intake fans are the 2 bottom 140mm ones but if I position the radiator fans as intake, won't I be pushing hot air into the case? On the other hand, If I position the fans as exhaust there would be no intake anywhere in the case. If anyone has any advice here for me I would appreciate it. This is my first attempt at overclocking and water cooling but I want to get the air flow right. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 I use to have My Silverstone RV02 with the Corsair H100 on the bottom and changed the fans for intake. err I had the fans on the other side so it push the air through. Those corsair fans work best as push rather than pull. As for adding heat into the case, it will be minimal since you have 2x 230mm on the top pulling air out.

Belexes Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks, that helps a lot. Just in case I may add a fan to the side panel to bring cool air in. I can mount a 230mm fan there as well. Thanks for responding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
