Why would this matter since heat always rises? Even if it was upside down, top should still exhaust meaning front and side should intake.
Fans can overcome convection. You don't have to limit yourself to it. While the norm is typically best to have it front to back, and bottom to top, there are exceptions to this. I know as I've had one. Heat rises naturally, but a fan easily overcomes this. If you happen to have better results going against convection in some situations, there's zero reason to not take those better results just because warm air rises on its own.
You can check the air flow by lighting a cigarette and holding it at the first point of intake. You just wouldn't be able to take the side panel off and visualize it but you might.make some inferences based on what comes out the exhaust.
If your case comes with a flow director (plastic housing that directs air from the side panel onto the CPU), then you can have the side as an intake with the flow director attached.
If in doubt, you can also just remove the side fan or leave it off which will allow some air to enter at a low rate (since there are vents that the side fan would be using).
What you don't want to do is have a side fan overpower the front and end up with stagnant warm air that doesn't get cleared - there should be a balance with air flowing through all vents either in or out.
Front : intake
Back: exhaust
up: exhaust
down : intake
If you have a cpu heatsink the fan need to take the fresh air coming from the front intake.
And send it inside the heatsink
The down intake can push the hot air from graphic card
it also looks cool i keep my pc on top of a desk so its not accessable to anyone, it is also nice for hot swaping drives because the sides already off.
i feel my pc runs 5c cooler then usally because i keep the side of the case off.
p.s. i am looking to build a PC case using a Flat screen TV shell, that will ultimately make a flat panel Computer set up, this will allow even more air flow and ambient room temps.
how to do it, back the mother board with a silicon sheet between the metal and the risers of the mother board, this will help insolate any potential contact with metal, you can mount a card riser with rivets or drill out your own screw holes, and or use a GPU riser cable to mount the GPU flat with the shell, also optional use water cooling to maintain a respectable size instead of a heat sink CPU.
Depending on the size of the tv shell size you will have plenty of room to add SSD drives, one issue you will want to consider is the length of cabling to connect parts, off setting things like the PSU and or using fan risers to direct more air flow into the motherboard is also recommended.
you can also option to add cool paneling over the whole shell and customize your wall screen computer , just some idea's for any creative PC case builders.
I always went for side panels as intake but that was back in tthe 3dfx days. GPUs produce sooo much more heat now.
For the other fans...
I don't have any fans on the top of my case, just two front intakes and one rear exhaust. When I'm gaming and drop a rizla onto top vents it clearly shows it's sucking air into the case... so for my poorly vented case (BeQuiet Pure Base 500) surely the top option should be intake. Exhausting the top would be like 'pissin' in the wind'!
For others, that would be a terrible idea and exhaust would be the way to go.
There's always a lot of talk about airflow too. I don't think it works like a wind tunnel. I doubt the bottom front intake is sending a stream of cold air to the gpu and top front sending a stream of cold air to cpu. The low rpm of big fans (80mm+) probably make it a turbulent mess in there with the average going from front to back. There's a good chance it's my cpu fan that is sucking air through my top vents and not the draft of my slower front intake fans (which have poor vetilation). I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the reason gpus have two or three relatively fast spinning fans is because cpu fans (and the closely positioned rear exhausts) are stealing air from the gpu so it needs to fight for air/ventilation, rather make the most of what's being delivered to it.
GPU manufacturers obviously know their products best but it's a mystery to me why they haven't got a fan right at the back of the card/case blowing outwards. Even a couple of 25mm fans would do something.
What's to say air needs to flow from the front to back? I've never tried it but maybe the front could be exhaust, rear and top as intake and cpu blowing to the front too. ? Who knows? The gpu won't like that though!
Whatever works best for you is the way to go.
I do keep the side panel on 99/99% of the time, though. If my cup of coffee wants to suddenly lurch full steam ahead into the computer (which is right next to the desk), it will do so at the earliest opportunity.
Only takes one freak accident.
Yep. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. Cold air sinks, so it's also reasonable to have intake on top and front, and exhaust out the sides and back
I was just pointing out that sometimes you can get better results even if you go against convection, and that's because fan airflow easily overpowers convection. It's probably less common for sure, but it's all configuration dependent so it's best to test it if you want to be sure.
For example, I had slightly better results once with a top fan as intake (the two front was also intake and back was exhaust, bottom and side had nothing). My guess was because I had a hard drive cage full of hard drives at the time so the two front were doing less for the rest of the system, and with nothing on the bottom (PSU too long at the time) nor side (would have been below the GPU), it was limited in intake for the important stuff. So I saw slightly lower CPU temperatures with a top intake in front of the CPU. Was minor, and things weren't overheating without the fan to begin with, but it was still lower despite going against convection.
These days I have a different CPU cooler on a different motherboard (so placement of the cooler is more forward) and now I also have less hard drives and minus over half the cage blocking it, so that top fan was moved back and is now also exhaust. I now get better results that way.
Yeah. I just wanted to make sure my setup wasn't actually wrong. I'm sure my CPU only warms up cause the heat from the GPU, which is right below it, rises and some of that heat gets sucked into the CPU. The side exhaust at least pushes out some of that heat.
The real problem is simply the case itself, being an ASUS M32CD office case. All metal, and smaller than your average midtower. It's meant to house a microATX mobo. Said mobo is also proprietary and OEM so probably wouldn't really fit or slot in right with any custom case.
