7/14/2023 0 Comments Best airflow case for 3080![]() An option would be to include another fan, at the topmost front position, to also exhaust air - but that fan would be next to an intake, which I can't imagine is a good idea but I haven't a clue. Picture 2 involves rotating the direction of the CPU fan (I assume this is possible?), changing the back exhaust port to be an intake (adding an after market filter), then using the top front fan to exhaust the air out of the system. I imagine those who purchase a 3080 and don't have liquid cooling will have a build similar to this. Black boxes represent empty fan placements. Picture 1 is what I perceive to be the traditional airflow, blue boxes represent intake fans, red represent exhaust, with orange showing the potential hot/cold mixed air impacting CPU cooling. ![]() ![]() I'm looking for feedback on my second suggested build to see if it's a good idea. That said, sometimes air flow doesn't do what you think it should.įor fun, I decided to theorycraft how airflow could work in my case with a noctua fan and a founders 3080. My major (generally accepted as true) take aways are: air should enter through the front and be expelled out the back/top. Given that I don't know much about building PCs, and I know even less about air flow, I did some research and found all sorts of fun and confusing information out there. My concern is that the 3080 Founders will expel hot air which will then be picked up by CPU fan, raising the CPU temp. While I don't have it yet, I was also considering purchasing the Noctua NH-U12A CPU fan (currently using the included AMD Wraith Prism fan) ![]() If I'm able to pull it off, I'm considering buying the founders edition with has a fan design in which hot air is expelled directly in-front of the CPU. I'm sure like many of you, I'm very interested in the new RTX 30 series specifically the RTX 3080. The only thing I didn't purchase was a new GPU I am using a GTX 1060. I hadn't done it in a decade, but I recently built a new PC that included a Ryzen 9, x570 board, and a meshify C case. When it comes to building a PC my knowledge is basic and fundamental. ![]()
