I've always just stuck with the standard 2 front intake, 1 exhaust in the back, and 1 exhaust on the top behind the CPU tower (all 140). I can't remember what video I watched when I started building my own stuff, but the conclusion was that additional fans beyond that configuration was just marginal or no gain.

Every case is different. But with air cooled CPUs, airflow is incredibly important. With my recent upgrade, I prioritized this. Using the same case, I reduced my temps by ~20+ degrees, just using better quality fans and smarter air flow. While using a CPU with noticeably more power draw that's overclocked to 5.4.

Why don't you test each configuration? Benchmark that shit.

You are welcome to take it up with GamersNexus. I'll side with the former Dell engineer that now runs his own company and has infinitely more resources than I do to test bench thousands of products. |

More fans in proper configuration will give you more airflow and cooler temps though. The only reason it wouldn't is messing up the airflow directions. Clay's CPU/GPU are producing 150W/300W+ alone. That produces a lot of heat that needs moved. More fans move more heat. The newest hardware is super power hungry. If you want to push performance, you can't skimp on fans and you have to be smart on placement.

So is he right or wrong? Because that's not a negative pressure configuration like you are claiming. I guess I'm not understanding where you get your belief that a fan infront of another fan is or isn't going to be taking air out of a certain area of the case based on negative, balanced, or positive pressure. |

That doesn't mean more fans are bad for airflow. That simply means 6 fans in the wrong config can be bad for airflow.

Because now you are saying the opposite. Before it was not a problem. Now its the fan should be intake. |

I would put his rear exhaust fan all the way to the back of the case. Then flip the front exhaust to intake and move it as far toward the front of the case as possible.

I haven't built a pc in forever.
Can somebody give me their thoughts on this build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K34vLs The GPU will be replaced later this year once I know a bit more for work related needs. Originally I went with the i7, but the i9 appears to have dropped in price so... I'm not big on rbg, and prefer the cleaner look of this case as it matches my home aesthetics more than a clear flashing box. I'm going to be using this for d&d and porn mostly, but when required by work, I will need to process some point clouds. I know this isn't a threadripper with 128gb RAM, but I'm hoping to stick a 4080 in it later and hope it handles small batches. edit: more storage will be added/paid for by out company. edit 2: I left in a 3060ti from when i was considering an all white build. Swapped for a 4060 ti.

looks good to me, don't forget to update the firmware on the 980 Pro, it's vital
