Hey guys,
I have the white 600T and I’m installing an EVGA GTX 580 DS in the first PCI slot, “the EVGA SLI3 motherboard has but one PCI-E 2.0x16 slot.” The Graphics card vents primarily into the case rather than out the rear like the reference 580’s. It’s supposed to provide better cooling in a well ventilated case, but I bought it for the way it looks, like I have for everything in this build. I have always intended to use the mesh side panel insert rather than the window, I like the way it looks also. I was wondering if anyone who is familiar with this case or case airflow in general could tell me whether I should have the two 120mm fans mounted on the mesh as intake or exhaust. The mesh would allow for four fans, but I am able to put two almost directly over where the card sits and the heat is exhausted. Right now the case has the 200mm intake in the front, 200mm exhaust in the top, and a 120mm exhaust beside the I/O.
Thanks!
