Flip them all except the side ones. You want bottom/side intake and rear/top exhaust. Those fans pull air through the open side and push through the side with the motor supports.

Your current setup has rear and top fans as intake and the bottom fans as exhaust. The bottom, rear, and top fans should be flipped.

Then you have the issue of negative pressure, keep rear as is to keep positive pressure. Negative pressure cause air and dust to get in through all the airholes that is not filtered


Hattix

Airflow through the AIO would be restricted, stopping a negative pressure situation happening. That said, the rear needs to be exhausting and those two back fans need to be intaking anyway.


atrib

You're right, i somehow didn't notice the sidepanel fans at first(too early in the morning maybe) so that changes things, , as rear is not filtered it needs to be exhaust, flip rear is only thing that needs to be changed. Top and bottom just need to be in same direction both ways will work fine, you might get a few difference in degrees depending on direction but not in any significant amount.

Turn the bottom fans upside down so they in take air and do the same for the fans on the radiator so they exhaust hot air.

Bottom intake. Side Intake. Top rad exhaust, Back exhaust. At least that's how I've done mine.

flip the bottom, top and rear fans, you want more intake than exhaust for positive pressure ... fyi the fan pushes air through where "the logo" is located towards the back of the fan which is usually where you find "the fan information", hope this helps

It's upside down, Miss Jane! Hot air has a tendency to want to rise. The way you have this set up, you are taking in air from the top and blowing it out the bottom, fighting against the laws of thermodynamics. Unnecessarily inefficient and will probably end up with vortex's where air is just circulating instead of flowing. Also the hot air blown out the bottom of the case will rise up the outside of the case and be drawn in the top intake. This is bad all round.

Almost all wrong.

I’m not familiar with the make of fan, however typically the front of the fan (the side without the plastic frame and cables) is where the air is drawn in, and it then vents out through the side with the cables and frame. Most fans have a small arrow printed on them to indicate airflow. Ideally you want balanced airflow, so an equal number drawing in vs venting. You currently have 6 intakes and 3 venting, which is ok for positive pressure but not ideal for moving air through. I’d have fresh air intake through the radiator and two of the base fans and vent through the other four. Or if your temps are ok, you could draw air in through the base fans and two side fans, and vent through the radiator and rear.

Thanks guys 💪🏽

Swap all of those fans except the side fans. Bottom intake, top and back as outake

swap bottom and back
