The CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW is a distinctive, high-airflow optimized mid-tower ATX case with easy cable management and two included CORSAIR 120mm AirGuide fans for exceptional cooling. Oh and I was helpful.Corsair 4000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Case - White But hey, I'll stick to making assumptions or not posting if I can't be available 24/7. Thus I asked for clarification just to double check and not just make assumptions to be on the safe side. Specs would but I've known people to switch them up trying for better cooling outcomes. Looking at a case image doesn't clarify which fans are intake and exhaust. Oh I'm sorry I was not on Steam 24 hours a day to provide more responses. Hunter even been given awards for there response unlike you. Like seriously, just give him a direct answer for his case like hunter did. He shouldn't have to clarify anything if you went to the link he provided before posting. Generally speaking the bottom/front as intake and top/rear as exhaust. Though it could be interpreted in one way or the other. Originally posted by Dead Monkey:Clarify your facing the back/front as that doesn't say if they're intake or exhaust. Thanks for the suggestion, I will take it into consideration :) I hope your future testing goes well Changing just one thing could change things. As always, experimenting yourself and collecting results will give you the best answer though. and rear and (if applicable) top as exhaust seems standard as a baseline, and often gives good if not best results. Originally posted by Illusion of Progress:Usually, front and (if applicable) the bottom as intake. This thread inspired/reminded me to do some more testing with my own setup once I change my CPU cooling.

PSU fan never really turns on or if it does I never hear it. I have a voltage selector on my case for the fans connected to it (two front and top) and I run them at 7V 12 V is louder. I perhaps should try it as exhaust though, since I have positive air pressure (I refer this for dust cleaning reasons), and it might help slightly with temperatures (namely GPU temperatures if nothing else). My side intake is empty, as having a fan there as intake did little to nothing to temperatures, so it was added noise and dust. Granted, that was with my old CPU and it had a tower style heatsink, and since I changed my platform, I'm on the stock (not a tower style) right now so it could have changed, but I'm changing back to a tower style cooler very soon anyway.

I tried the top fan both ways and it wasn't much different, but top as intake gave me the slightly lower results, likely as it brought fresh air in directly in front of the CPU. Reason being the front two intake are obstructed by many hard drives in the way. Top fan as intake isn't always necessarily unorthodox I have mine that way at the moment (I don't have the same case as the OP). Usually, front and (if applicable) the bottom as intake. This should provide you enough airflow you'll need.

I hope everyone is doing well, I recently upgraded my pc case to a Corsair 4000D Airflow and was wondering the best fan configuration for my build, I have a Noctua NH-U12A CPU cooler with a total of 5 Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM Fans in total (1 on the back with the fan towards the back, 1 on the CPU cooler facing towards the front of the case and 3 on the front of the case facing towards the front) any suggestions would be great and I know there might be the possibility that I have the best fan configuration already, but I'm curious if there're any other configurations I haven't thought of, thanks in advance.
