[QUOTE="Luca Brasi, post: 1099280, member: 60220"] The main principle about cooling is to imagine how the airflow in your case will behave. Hot air will always ascend on it's own in the first place. Start with this concept and improve it if needed by adding some speed to the stream with some fans. This means, get fresh air in at the front bottom of the case, let it flow over your components and push it out at the back top. Some additional advices - Put critical devices like HDDs in the fresh air at the beginning of the airflow - Try to get hot stuff like the cpu cooler more to the back - Make sure that the opening(s) for the intake air is big enough. In most cases you don't need intake fans. - Put the outtake fans near the hottest components to prevent heat accumulations under the top - Make sure that the air can get away once it left the case. For quiet operation - Control your fan speeds. These days your mainboard should do that... - Try to absorb all vibrations from components with moving parts like fans, hdds.... [/QUOTE]
