Hi,

I have to have my sound card close to my GFX card.

So was wondering if i should have 2x 120mm fans at the bottom blowing onto the 2 cards, or maybe 1. i could make some holes for the air to get sucked into the case ?

What would you recomend ?

I have 3 1 x 120mm fans at the front, 1 x 120mm at the rear, and 1 x 120mm at the top. and of course the cpu fans.


Thanks alot

damn, thats a nice casing man.. and nice cable management btw :D.

i wouldnt recoman doing that.. cause, wheres the fan gonna get the air from? and even if u make a small hole, less fresh air will go in and instead, blowing hotter air Upwards onto ur cpu..
 
I think you're going fan crazy when you dont need too. are you seeing high temps? can you drop the sound card down a slot?
looks like your video card intakes air at the front and exhausts it through the side, if you put a side fan, it'll just be blowing hot air back to the card.
unless you're see some high temps, I'd leave it alone.
