I had already planned on that then stumbled across this vid. 3 fans up top exhaust 2 intake on bottom and rear intake with cpu cooler reversed. Balanced.
@@Brandon-ob8ul I'm running pretty much same setup as the video creator, but I am debating whether 2 120x120x15 fans will help or make cooling worse on the GPU, since there's like maximum 1 cm gap between them - couldn't fit two 25mm thick noctua 120mms due to GPU being thick.
Hey, I just wanted to leave this comment. This video really helped me with my first PC build! I got the same AP201 case and I decided to copy your fan and airflow configuration and it has worked wonders. I used a Ryzen 7700 and a 7900 GRE, I was a bit scared at first since I had never really even tried building a PC but your video along with a couple others were really useful. Thanks!
I ended up testing to see if the system worked outside of the case before i put it in, and THANK GOD I did so, because turns out my ram sticks were faulty, ended up returning them and getting new ones.
i have the same case and i mounted the case all the way up so i had just enough space to mount the fan that came with the case under the psu as a front intake. this is also a great idea no cap
hello from ITALY, I'm taking ASUS Prime AP201 and Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE heatsink, I will try your very interesting method with I5 13500 processor.... congratulations for this idea..... I'll let you know bye
Thanks for sharing... I use the XPG Vento Pro GT2150, they are great. Also Limin (Thermalright) makes great products. Im using the SI-100 CPU Cooler on my daily rig
Excellent... quick question... the filter for the intake at the back where did you get it? ... they whole time I was watching after you said you reversed fans I kept saying, but what about dust through those big holes in the back... but you solved it. Where did you get the filter (or how did you make it?)?
Some generic PVC filters (1mm diameter holes), magnetic strips, double-sided tapes, and a box cutter did the job, it's pretty straightforward and easy, hope it helps!

Finally found someone that tried this back intake configuration, since I first saw this case I thought about doing this. Did you tried the normal configuration to compare if it makes a difference?
Back intake and normal (back exhaust) config will mostly differ in performance depending on the GPU state. With my set-up, the 4070ti can dissipate close to 300w of heat under full load, and the flow-through design of the GPU cooler will inevitably transfer a lot of heat to the CPU cooler if it is set-up as back exhaust. In CPU only workloads though, there isn't much of a difference in temps between the two configs.
Just ordered parts for my first PC build and am using a pretty similar list, but i am curious as to why you didnt use a third exhaust fan on top? Would it effect the airflow to the CPU, or would it effect the ambient temps? Just trying to learn as much as i can, thanks in advance!
what are your thermals looking like? considering moving my build from a mid tower to something smaller but a bit worried that w/o the front intake fans, things could get a bit hot (i live in the tropics). good idea on using the back fan as an intake. i plan to use 1 intake bottom, 2 exhaust top, and 1 intake back fan.
12:22 USB connector well installed. I couldn't get it right and bent the pins.😖 I managed to put the pins back in and connect the USB connector before mounting the motherboard in the case.
Some mobo headers are indeed pretty hard to reach, and it is even more of a problem when building in a space-constrained case like this one. Glad it worked out for you in the end though!
Creo que el ventilador trasero deveria echar el aire hacia afuera ya que el calor que dicipa la gpu lo vuelve a meter y en vez de enfriar va a meter aire caliente
Es lo mismo, los 2 en el techo, sacan el aire caliente de ambos, de la GPU y el CPU... Es solo otra posible configuración, difente a lo que acostumbramos ver

It'll depend on the processor SKU you use and the power target you set for it. Although in any case, the Wraith Stealth will not perform as well as dual-tower coolers from reputable brands, so expect a higher temp delta from ambient with all else kept equal.
Yes, I did. Updating to the latest BIOS is generally recommended when building a new system or upgrading to a new motherboard. I used the MSI M-flash method to update, you can check out this short tutorial for details: th-cam.com/video/sKMub20CUNI/w-d-xo.html

I had tried standard 25mm thick fans and they definitely do not fit, but I guess 15 mm slim fans will probably fit, not entirely sure about that. I don't think bottom intake fans are necessary at all though, temps are fine as it is, and adding more fans will result in more noise.
Finally someone to reverse the cpu cooler fans and uses the 120 in the back as intake. I'm considering to do the same and like your diy dust-filter.

It makes it worse. This case is better when it's in negative pressure

Nice way of utilizing the back fan as intake as the psu blocks the front. Will be doing that also when my ap201 arrives.
Isnt he just pulling hot air from the back that was pushed out by the gpu?
@@ajpewding4058 The hot air from gpu is being pushed up inside the case. The back fan is pulling in cold air from outside the back of the case mate

Thanks for the idea. Will try that kind of fan setup.

It's just enough to make the manufacturer's logo shine.
Rear intake might be quite nice. Good idea!
after watching it finally I understand how cheap the ram is

Looks great, how did the airflow end up working out?
I have the exact same SSD and case, and the same cooler as you but in white
Sounds like a nice build as well!
Nice - most impressing thing is the diy magnetic filter. How did you make?

when the air gets sucked from the rear you just waste it by exhausting it out immediately if you add a 3rd

Thermals and noise are not a problem at all, even with a modest GPU overclock. This case trades front intake for bottom intake.

I love it! Will it work with my AMD Wraith Stealth Cooler (not LED) or will I need another cooler to have such good temps? thank you

Great build! I'm doing something similar- where can I find the GPU leg?
I actually could not find any GPU support that go short enough for my build (needs to be
Did you update the bios? If so how did you do it?
Yes, I did. Updating to the latest BIOS is generally recommended when building a new system or upgrading to a new motherboard. I used the MSI M-flash method to update, you can check out this short tutorial for details: th-cam.com/video/sKMub20CUNI/w-d-xo.html
You didn’t take in account that the GPU exhausts below the rear fan that you set to intake the air to the CPU.
What are you using to support the gpu?
I just stacked a few rubber washers on top of each other, it only cost a few cents and they work pretty well.
Hi, will the tuf 4070ti fit with 2 120mm fans at the bottom?
Standard 25mm thick fans do not fit, slim 15mm fans probably will, but I'm not entirely sure. GPU temps are fine without bottom fans though.
How did you make that filter?
Some generic PVC filters (1mm diameter holes), magnetic strips, double-sided tapes, and a box cutter did the job, it's pretty straightforward and easy, hope it helps!
With that GPU is it still possible to put intake fans at the bottom?
I had tried standard 25mm thick fans and they definitely do not fit, but I guess 15 mm slim fans will probably fit, not entirely sure about that. I don't think bottom intake fans are necessary at all though, temps are fine as it is, and adding more fans will result in more noise.
Hai. Is included fan with PWM 4 pin or 3 pin power?
The stock fan included with the case is unfortunately only a 3-pin fan with no pwm function.

so psu plug needs extensions?
