Temperature & Airflow Fan Setup for 690
Positive Air Pressure + Silverstone Aeroslot (Highly Recommended)
Quote:
| The benefit of having positive air pressure： Benefit 1： Dust reduction Benefit 2： Maximize graphics card cooler’s efficiency |
YouTube - Demonstration of Positive Air Pressure Design in PC chassis Part 1

Very brief conclusions:
Some of the test-results were just as expected, but it's also clear that while more fans equals better temps, the placement of these fans does play an important part.
For silent systems, I would recommend either the good old "front in, rear out", which proved to be quite effective or the "passive intake" setup.
If you're using more than two or three fans, intake or exhaust fans on the side proved to be very good (whether they intake or exhaust not making that much of a difference).
Finally, if you use tons of fans, having top and rear fans exhaust and all the others intake proved to be a well balanced solution for all components.
For me personally I'm using the Positive Air Flow setup aka (Almost all in) for my rig. Hope u guys can find out which setup is suitable for u guys !! Good luck !!
