valiskeogh.livejournal.comanyone know of any program that can model, at least rudimentarily model, the airflow within a computer case?
i'm trying something new with my setup.
i switched some fans around, and here it is as it stands now:
fans blowing into the case: (intake)
one fan bottom front
one fan on bottom panel
one fan on windowed side panel
two fans top rear just below the power supply
(5 80mm fans total blowing into the case)
exhaust fans:
power supply fans (dual fan)
one 120mm fan on top panel blowing straight up
(2 80mm and 1 120mm fan for exhaust)
the working theory is, cool air comes in through side, front, back and bottom, and hot air is exhausted through the power supply, and fan at very top of case (warm air rising, yadda yadda)
it would be interesting to have a program that could model this airflow.
thanks,
valis
