When I started buliding there was hardly any airflow on cases at all . Most people would overheat and take the side panel completely off and some like myself would fabricate front and top fan locations ourselves .

Just to add: negative pressure is mostly beneficial to crammed components like in a mini ITX system. You want the heat to get out asap and not stay inside especially if there is no space. There is also the nzxt h500 with an almost restrictive front panel which benefits from negative air pressure. You can also force cases to have positive pressure even if there are more exhaust fans than intake. Just decrease the rpm of all exhaust fans and increase the rpm of intake. Vice versa if you opt for negative pressure.

Great video buddy! Enjoyed hearing your thoughts and addressing some of the common misconceptions about cooling in general. In depth, well explained and easy to digest. Thanks for the channel mention too, much love 🙌

Love your videos man. I worked in a PC shop, building PCs from 15-20yrs and then stopped using PCs for 20 years. Coming back to it, it really helps to watch your videos. A lot has changed and you have educated me in a really clear and fun way. Keep it up, absolutely excellent content. Cheers man.

This is one of the most detailed explanation for this topic on Youtube. Great work and thank you.

A lot of people do these videos but it’s important to revisit as the cases change Thank you for this video sir.

You forgot to mention that with AIR tower cooler like your NOCTUA D15 the fans can over hang the tower fins providing AIR flow over your VRM's, RAM and NVME heatsinks which a AIO CPU block normally doesn't do .. That can also help keep your system run cooler . btw good video thou , nice and simple to the point :)

Wow, great in-depth video on airflow. I really enjoyed it.

best video explanation airflow on ytb. Thank you man. Keep up the good work

Timely video. Thanks for this one.

Incredible video! Thank you

Great video thanks Cobber 👌🏻

Great refresher

Nice video again. Nice Jacket too, half way the video i thought "did he just won the Golf Masters on Augusta between all these fans?"

Yep i am running 13 fans, 3 120 mm bottom fans intakes 1 120 mm fan exhaust 3 120mm top fans exhaust and 6 side fans with my AIO CpU Cooler with the push pull confirmation on NZXT H9 Elite case

Self i got : Cooler Master MasterBox 520 Mesh with 3 front fans and 1 exhaust and my 240 aio as top and pull air thu rad and out = Neutral airflow. BUT i have change so the 3 front fans that take air via the mesh has little higher RPM than the rear fan due to its more easy for the rear fan to just exhaust it ,the front fans have harder to take air in.

👍 Thanks for the tips Lauri! I really like your videos and builds, they look great. As a matter of fact whats the color you use for your logo and fans? I like it. You got the hex#? Thanks!

Thank you Lauri.

Good video but surprised you did not discuss the difference between Static Pressure and Air Flow on fan choice. For general case fans you want to focus more on air flow than static pressure. These fans are about creating air movement. When you want to focus on pressure is when the fan is against a cooler or radiator and you need to overcome the air flow restrictions these create.
