Morning MyBB'ers,

Need some help to get the correct airflow on my Coolermaster CMP 102 case.

It houses a Asus R9 280 GPU and i3 4170 CPU.
The case can be equipped with the following fans:

2 x 120 mm in front
1 x 120 mm at the bottom
2 x 120 mm on the side panel
1 x 120 mm at the back


Given it take 6 x fans,can you please help me with a correct airflow description or chart?


Regards
 
1 at the front drawing in, 1 at the bottom drawing in. Use the PSU to vent out, will keep the case at a positive pressure to keep dust out. Make sure you put dust filters on the 2 intake fans
 
I would just have them all blown in like ScottulusMaximus said.

Otherwise have all blow in except the 1 at the back, if you don't care about dust. (you could try and find dust filters for all intakes in this case)
 
All fans closest to the CPU needs to extract hot air, everything else is an intake.

The bottom must be an intake fan, the front must be intake fans.
The side must be extractor, the back must be extractor.
 
What about the 2 on the side?

You want to create an airflow in the case, 2 on the side will just blow air at the mobo with nowhere for it to go.

EDIT:

Corsair AF120 Silent editions x3 (http://titan-ice.co.za/cooling-air/120mm-fans/page-3/)
Bottom intake with dust filter (http://titan-ice.co.za/demciflex-120mm-dust-filter-magnet-black-black-mesh.html)
Front intake with dust filter
Rear exhaust

PSU set to exhaust as well.

That'll give you more airflow than you could possibly need with that small system
