I think the intake should be higher then out, just a bit.
just try the setup what you think, see the temps and noise, then change the set up.
make note of all .
post it here the results, curious.
So after a little bit testing
Results (Comparison)
New Case (Corsair Carbidge Series 500R Arctic White) - Old Case (Cooler Master Elite 335 Black)
(CPU Cooler = Noctua NH-D14 + stock fans)
(GPU = Sapphire Radeon HD6950 + stock VaporX Chamber Cooler)
CPU Temps
OLD idle +-38 Celsius Degrees
NEW idle +-30 Celsius Degrees
OLD burn +- 64 Celsius Degrees
NEW burn +- 56 Celsius Degrees
GPU Temps
OLD idle +- 50 Celsius Degrees
NEW idle +- 45 Celsius Degrees
OLD burn +- 86-88 Celsius Degrees
NEW burn +- 70-73 Celsius Degrees
Personally Im surprised how much the case influence the heat (Maybe a great effect has got the PSU position (In CM it was in the upper part of the case, now it is in the bottom)
CM Elite 335 fans positions
Front 1x Noctua NF-S12B 1200 RPM intake
Rear 1x Noctua NF-S12B 1200 RPM outtake
Side 1x Cooler Master 700 RPM intake
Corsair 500R fans positions (I think this is the best setup possible)
Front 2x Corsair 1200 RPM LED fans intake
Front 1x Corsair 1200 RPM fan intake
