I'm curious if you accounted for the video cards position and airflow from bottom of case intake fan.. should I still exhaust the top fan and just to clarify only one fan intake is enough? Wouldn't the rad 4 sandwich also exhaust air still? I was trying to have bottom fan intake exit through the rad after hitting the video card and the top intake cool the mother board and exhaust out the back. Just to clarify the rad is pulling air from inside the case in the direction of the rad. I'm confused as to why it wouldn't pull air directly out from the bottom fan and why the top intake fan wouldn't push cool air down and out the front and back of the case. Probably going to have to a smoke test to confirm. Could you possibly elaborate on your explanation? Fan 1&2> []Rad Fan 3&4 > L case wall with right angle intake used as exhaust. So this in your theory would some how swirl air around at the back of the case? I'm even more confused than before.

So I recently started to build a rig. First time ever. And I've watched about 15 hours of videos on cooling and air floy, rad fan orientation etc. So I finally settled on fan orientation. I have the H500i Platinum AIO comes stock with 2 120mm RGB fans. I bought 3 additional fans with the RGB fan controller. And I'm using the cases fans aswell so 7 fans in total. I have the AIO set up at the front of the PC in like this. Fan 1&2 > []Rad Fan 3&4>. |Case wall with right angle intake strip now being used as exhaust. At the back of the case I have one additional RGB 120mm fan pulling air out of the case. The stock case fan is on the top of the case drawing air into y case. There's also another fan on the bottom of the case drawing air in aswell. So 7fans in total. Let me know if I you see any issues.
