Fan setup in an inverted atx case

[Innocent159]

I would like to know is there anyone that has experience with different atx fan set up in an inverted case and what works best.
Currently i gave front as intake and top as intake and read as exhaust.

Case is a gigabyte luxo m10

it will be pretty much *exactly* the same as using any other atx layout. Heat still rises, air still flows...

But your gpu is on top. I made the two top onces exhaust and front and back intake.

Isn't your gpu at an disadvantage because all the hot air is rising.

the rising heat effect is so minimal that it really doesn't matter much

^^All of this.

At an airflow rate that isn't acoustically uncomfortable practically all effects people imagine are negligible. Get a few exhaust fans around the card and you'll be fine, it's generally slightly more effective to pull air away from something than blow 'cold' air at it.

Personally I would of thought the most significant losses in air cooled setups comes from flow reversal around the edge of the fan frame but thats something most case manufactures ignore on 'airflow' optimized cases.

Thanks guys. looks like i'm all set. Got the new card. running 100% usage and the card sit at 70-72 degrees Celsius.

Also, if anything your gpu will be slightly better at cooling itself if it has heatpipes, because despite them using wicked heatpipes, they always work better when they're the right way up (even if the difference is, as with everything else, completely negligible)

So my R9 270x had no reason to overheat (+90 Degrees Celsius)?
