Hey guys,
I would like some advice on changing my cooling system.
My current system looks like this:
Currently there is a fan on the Thermalright Ultra 120, blowing air onto the heatsink (shown as a blue circle)
There is a fan above and to the left taking warm air out away from the CPU (Shown by fans - blue boxes and airflow - blue arrows)
Then at the bottom is the psu shown by a blue box which takes air out away from the psu and there is a blue box infront of the psu flowing cold air onto the psu.
There is also my graphics card in the PCI slot taking warm air away from the graphics card.
Finally the 2 red boxes is where I can fit 2 more fans.
I will be buying 2 more fans and was thinking of setting it up like this:
1 and 2 are now blowing cold air onto the cpu keeping it cool and 3 can blow the cold air directly onto the heatsink / cpu.
4 is taking warm air away from the graphics card.
5 is taking warm air through the front, so cold air comes in through the top near the cpu and out at the bottom near the graphics card (4) and through the front (5), a decent air flow me thinks.
In the bottom compartment 8 is blowing cold air onto the hard drive, 7 is blowing cold air onto the psu and the psu (8) is taking the warm air out of the back.
The only problem I feel is fan 8 bringing cold air in as the front of the Antec P182 is blocked off by the front panel and air can only travel in through the sides as show below:
