Bottom intake, side/back exhaust seems to be what it's designed for, yeah. The side as exhaust probably does give better temps, at least with a full-length open cooler GPU, since it'll be drawing out a good portion of the GPU exhaust, rather than having it all go through the CPU cooler and out the back.Necere , I would be interested in your thoughts on this chassis, and how you might set up the fans...
Obviously, the two fans under the GPU are intended for intake, as they are filtered...
The two upper fans are not filtered at all...
I would think the rear fan is intended for exhaust; but the side fan, intake or exhaust...?
I want to think intake, providing cool air for the upper chassis, but it is not filtered, so should it be exhaust...?
If the side fan Is exhaust though, then the only cool air entering the chassis would be heated as it passes the GPU...
