I was looking to get some suggestions how to optimize the airflow in my rig.
Currently I have the stock white LED fans on the front as intakes in a "push/pull" with two Cooler Master R4-S2S-12AK-GP. The stock back exhaust fan is on the bottom now as an intake.
The back exhaust fan is a Zalman ZM-F3, the top exhausts are two Cooler Master R4-S2S-12AK-GP.
My real doubt is if I should have my side panel with the fan mounts on the left or right side; on one hand, I can get more airflow on my GPU and MoBO NB (but the top fan can also interfere with my 212). On the other hand, the top right area of the side panel (where the CPU black plate and VRM are on the back of the motherboard) gets warm when I have an OC, so having some ventilation there from the mesh can't hurt.
¿How should I balance the CFM to get a good positive pressure on this case? This is really important for me to know so I can buy the proper fans for the job.
My rig is still the same as on my album with the minor difference that the middle HDD has been removed, the SSD is at the bottom and the bottom HDD is at the top now and the DVD drive was also removed.
