Your PC ATM

my pc would disconnect my HDD randomly today while downloading Star Wars Jedi Survivor so after a long while i opened up my case, at first i thought it was a loose cable but that didn't fix it then now it seems fine so far after using molex to sata instead of sata splitter, i know either aren't ideal but it's a shame that corsair made a 550w psu that was launched last year with only 3 sata power connectors despite costing ₹4,000 (roughly 50$).

turn that fan around, it will be better.

i thought this was the right way because earlier my gpu was slightly hotter and with this direction while gaming i can feel the hot air coming out of my case in that area from gpu which didn't use to happen before

this will suck out the hot air from the CPU as well. which way is your rear fan pointing? its supposed to be an exhaust but it looks like an intake :confused:

yes, it's intake, seems like i have both in wrong orientation.
but what's wrong if it works? i mean there is minimal difference in temps, also this way my PSU stays quite cool, earlier it was releasing warm air which was concerning for me.

That corsiar PSU is the least bit of concern in terms of heat. Thats why people get good branded PSU. What you need is to ensure that your CPU and GPU get fresh air, and that their exhausts are carried away ASAP, while making sure one component's hot air isnt warming up another component.

Stress your CPU and GPU separately and see if stressing one is increasing the temps of the other or not. If it does, it means you need better exhausts.

Is there any intake on the front of the case?

no these are only two option i have, it's a very basic old school case.

Unless you plan to run three matched sets of 3.5" HDD and DVD. It might be worthwhile exploring your willingness to cut a fan sized hole in the front panel. The box fan facing against an open side panel option is also valid. Points gained on functionality are worth more than ones gained from beauty.

i have another corsair case which is fairly modern (2015 but it was good for it's time), it has an acrylic side panel probably full sized ATX but the thing is i don't want to mess around with my stuff i am not skilled enough to assemble / build a pc so let alone carving a hole in my current case which requires sharpness and accuracy. My brother in upcoming few weeks would probably swap the case until then i can enjoy doing my stuff and it's not a big concern because despite being summers weather has been really cool in past few months due to regular rain so i don't think it's urgent.

Rear fan should always be as exhaust. Now your PSU is practically the only exhaust there. Your CPU and GPU are such low-power ones so you could take that side fan entirely away.

Swap the case, its a great way to learn, seriously. And as was said, rear/top are exhaust, front and side are intake.

She may be getting long in the tooth in tech years, but it still rips when I edit video/photos/audio. Just got the a750 back in it, this time from ASRock. Had to tweak the GPU text files to get the GPU to show up, again, come on Adobe! I have some 140mm Riing fans coming to replace my two top 120mm versions and then this thing is done until Intel's new platform arrives... then this platform will move into storage sever duty.

I think you might need a bigger case, that push-pull 420 barely fits in there. And that slim fan looks strange in there. Me i would mod the case in order to fit what i need in stead of compromise.
But hey that's just me...
My case had mounts for 200, 140 an 120 on the front, but the angle grinder/dremmel had another plans.

Project DRS update: the Stream Deck add-on works. Now comes the task of finding the right icons for all the games.

And probably print a display bracket. Cause I can't see the in-game dash.
