I need help on getting better airflow and temperatures - Page 2

ryan48 · Jan 21, 2013, 05:20 AM

Hi, I need suggestions for airflow for my future rig. Here are the specs:

Case = NZXT Source 210 Elite
CPU = does'nt matter (I don't want to hear any fight over AMD or Intel hehehe)
HSF = Coolermaster Hyper Evo 212 Dual (Push and Pull config)

I am planning of blocking the rear fan slot to let the warm air exit only from the
top.

Also planning to configure the HSF to push the air upwards....

Any thoughts about this config? All suggestions are welcome!

dont block the rear. it is always a good idea to have more exhausts than intakes. keeps the dust way because of the low pressure inside

so should I keep it open w/o a fan or place another fan as another exhaust?
