Intake fans positioning

Hi,
Only if there is no air to move it otherwise
The back is open for a reason so air can be pushed out
Top if filtered for intake same as front is.
You obviously need another cool air source the front is shit.

Yeah i removed the front panel glass but with that came some stupid noise that i couldn't fix even by putting some washers the same thickness as the glass from the dust filter shaking in place.

Hi,
Intake top wouldn't matter if the glass was installed.

how about front all outtake, back on intake, and all the slots under the GPU as intake also, try to fit a fan there.

Most aircooled CPU set ups blow hot air to the back of the PC or sometimes to the top, so "back intake" doesn't really make sense in most air cooled situations...

Hi,
Yeah you don't want to pull in unfiltered air it would be a dust bucket in no time.

The DataVac is magnificent, has saved me a fortune; there is also an ESD version.

But getting to oil the motor bearings is near impossible.

i always found the front fans not working as intended, they create some kind of air pocket around the video card, or directly blowing out the back slots and stealing instead of delivering airflow. I always had higher temps when installing front intake for some reason. So the distance, rpm and conflicting airflows could also be important.

How many fans do you have available?

Have you tried removing the PCI brackets? This can typically knock 4-5* off of GPU temps.

Atx spec for fans, front and bottom are intake, aft and top are exhaust

Sealed unit i presume

Top exhaust is almost always a detriment to cooling… The only situations I can think of are radiators when water cooling and having a single top-rear exhaust when air-cooling in a poorly ventilated case.

I guess also if you have weird motherboard orientation.

The motor is friction fit in the body and very hard to remove.

Good ol interference fit (use heat on parts to expand their bores and LN2 to shrink bushings/axles to fit into bores

About top it has a magnetic dust filter , even with those fans as exaust lots of dust build up on into it.

Hi,
Filtering exhaust air is kind of funny to me :laugh:

Kinda useless , i just leave it there because even if the fans aren't pulling dust inside this dusty hellhole where i live does the job.
