Hello,
I've a Raidmax Reiter case with a Be quiet cpu cooler and a twin frozr gtx 660 gtx msi graphic cards. My issue is how to set the side panel two 120 mm fans.. whether to set them up both as input both as exhaust or one exhaust/one input. Here's a diagram of the air flow set up:
Would setting the 1st fan as exhaust and 2nd fan of the side panel as input make the hot air just go directly back in ? The big problem is that there's no top fans. I thought about putting both side panel fans as exhaust but the cpu fan can only be set up as shown in the diagram meaning it is input air from below the cpu because my ram is too big to let it be on the right. So there would be the exhaust fan of the side panel trying to take the hot air from the graphic cards and the cpu trying to blow it upwards. Also if both side panels would be input, is the negative pressure i heard about really important in that case?
Any help appreciated, thanks.
