System Airflow questions.

[Silent Whisper]

Hi guys.

I own an areocool sixth element.
I am going to build a fan based cooling system inside.
I have ordered my cpu cooler.


But I'm just wondering what would be the best way to maximize cooling airflow inside this case.
The case has 5 Fan slots.

I was thinking something like this...


Front: Blue LED 14CM - Air Blows in..

Side: 2 x 14CM - Air Blows in..

Top: BLUE LED 14CM - Air Blows out..

Back: 12CM - Air Blows out..


My power supply blows its cooling out of the bottom of the fan, and the system has a neat cable management system so cables getting in the way won't be a problem.


I'm a bit unsure of whether this the best way to keep the system cool.

That is an excellent way. Exactly how I have mine set up, except with one fan on the side blowing in.

You always want to have the top and back blowing out, makes more sense with the CPU right there to get the heat it produces out of the case right away instead of blowing it back in.
