“Make sure to adjust your fan curves so they aren’t always spinning at max speed”

The PS4 engineers at Sony: “damnit I knew we forgot something”

For my old tower, I just took the side panels off and parked a box fan next to it. Coolest I've ever run.

I have only negative pressure in my PC case. Temps are good, dust is good too (it’s everywhere).

When in doubt, do the “paper test”. Place a thin piece of paper in front of fan. If paper “sticks” to fan air blowing in. If paper is “pushed” back by fan, air blowing out

This video helped me finally understand why positive pressure is better!! Thank you LTT

I wish fan companies had rgb fans that also spun in the opposite direction so that all the fans would look pretty

I thought I had set my fans up wrong but it turns out that they're actually in the right way. Mission failed successfully.

I have negative air pressure in my case and it, surprisingly, is the setup that has given me the best temps. 9 exhaust fans on three radiators with one intake on the back in the lian li 011 xl.

The positive pressure comment is genius; thanks for that insight!

This is literally perfect timing i just got my pc fans from Amazon

Good short vid! I prefer negative pressure with dust filters though. Almost no dust at all and certainly less than no filters + positive pressure. Also the negative pressure with exhausts at the top help the chimney-effect so you can run very low rpm with air coolers!
I've tested this with 1 exhaust fan at the top/rear against 3 intake fans at the front. Taking the front fans out made the temps raise about 5°C (70 to 75), while taking the rear fan out showed 83°C.
But for idle desktop stuff, I stop the rear and top fans but keep the 3 front fans at 350 rpm to only have the negative pressure + chimney-effect under load.

If your pc tower comes with a dust filter i think it's good to have a slight negative pressure cuz it's always good that all the hot air is taken out of the tower and allows more cold air to get sucked in

[CarsSimplified]

I never thought about the dust getting pulled in with negative pressure in the case. Good tip!

I like to imagine James is reading these comments and laughing like dr evil right now 😆

I finally understand air preasure within a pc case system thank you

[TheTechcrisis]

an actually useful short. thanks for the info

[yousefr]

Beautifully explained, now walk me through what I need to do exactly

[janrozema]

I've got better advise: make a riser for your case, so it is not on the floor or on your desk sucking up dust at all
