PC Case AIRFLOW; A Visual Guide for Optimal Cooling.

Описание: #gamingpc #pcbuild #howto - Airflow, one of the most discussed topics in the PC DIY space. What's the ideal cooling setup for my PC? Should I use an air cooler or liquid AIO? What's the difference between cases? Let's start from the basics and work our way through!

Timecodes, though I don't recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons!

00:00 - Introduction
01:10 - Fan Types Explained
03:08 - PC Case Style Overview
05:04 - Coolers Explained
07:58 - Dual Chamber Airflow
09:00 - Mid Tower & Micro ATX Airflow
09:52 - Small Form Factor Airflow
10:50 - Full Tower Airflow
11:38 - To Summarise


In this video I take a look back through almost two years of Airflow Visualizations from previous builds and take a look at how the air interacts with different configurations.

When it comes to cooling a Gaming PC, there are many ways to do this efficiently, but I wanted to give you guys the basics to understand the fundamentals of moving air inside multiple different cases and the associated fans that come with them.

Of course, there are more we could've covered here such as pull/push radiator layouts, full custom loops and not forgetting open chassis cases. All of which may come in a future video for a more 'advanced' airflow instructible.

For my final thoughts on this video, check out the paragraph below the following links:

To wrap this up, airflow doesn't have to be complicated. Always keep in mind that, the more efficiently you can get air in and back out of the case, the cooler your system will be. Always make sure your fans are oriented in the correct direction and take some time to find a balance for performance vs aesthetic :)
