Corsair 760T bottom fan mount

[JTyran]

Hello, I was looking for some advice about the airflow in the Corsair 760T. Under the second removable drive cage there is a 140mm fan mount, that mounting has no dust filter so I was thinking it might be useful as an exhaust.

My graphics card (Asus 780 with the DirectCU II cooler) circulates most of the air into the case instead of having a vent that blows it out the case, would installing a fan on that mount remove the air the GPU blows out or would having it so close to the front intakes disrupt the air flow? I will install the PSU upside down to take advantage of the dust filter, I do not want the GPU blasting air into the PSU anyway.

The rest of the cooling will be fairly basic, the two intake fans and a Corsair H90 on the rear as exhaust and CPU cooling. My system is all at stock settings with no overclock so temperatures elsewhere are not a worry, I would like to remove the hot air from that GPU though.

I included a pic for anyone that hasn't seen the case, there will a drive cage in between the front intake and that exhaust if I fit it.

wouldnt bother as an exhaust - let the hot air rise matey, work with thermo dynamics not against it. Youll just end up sucking cold air out otherwise

i second that, you could use different speed fans in the front having the top one intake a little less causing a natural curve in the air flow aided with heat to blast out of the top with some fans

Okay, thanks. I left it alone and I will a magnetic dust filter to fit on the outside to reduce the chance of dust getting in through there, I might see if I can get a thin piece of white plastic to cover it and see if it improves the look of the inside.
