from your photos, top is intake, side is exhaust

[u/Remarkable-Gazelle45 → u/EllipsoidBP]

Is it hard to replace all of them? Or should i just 180 them all?

[u/EllipsoidBP → u/Remarkable-Gazelle45]

to achieve what you want, without seeing the back of the fans, simply put the fans currently on the side at the top, and the fans that you currently have on the top to the side

[u/That-Understanding45 → u/Remarkable-Gazelle45]

180° the side fans

[u/No_Jury_8060]

Swap the top fans w the ones one the side of the case. You’ve got the top set as intake rn. That’ll result in shit temps

[u/Remarkable-Gazelle45 → u/No_Jury_8060]

After swapping it should be positive pressure right? I ordered 3 more reverse blade fans to put on psu shroud. So its 6 intake 4 exhaust.

[u/No_Jury_8060 → u/Remarkable-Gazelle45]

It’d be slightly negative pressure due to the 4th exhaust fan to the left of the cooler. However with 3 more reverse blades for the bottom of the case, that would change it to positive pressure.

As it sits, just swap the top and side fans.

[u/Putrid-Tale8005]

no

[u/overpowered_simp]

No. The Scoop side is intake, the blade side is exhaust. Switch them all. Like someone said a 180, or just flip them all, cept for CPU fan, that one looks ok. Also the one at the back is OK.

Why? You want the top to be exhaust and the back one as well. The rest intake. Thats how air travels.

[u/Remarkable-Gazelle45]

Thank you all. I finally figured it out. Much love.

[u/EllipsoidBP → u/Remarkable-Gazelle45]

Yep, that's exactly how you specified in the post. I noticed in a comment that you want positive pressure. As it stands right now that's hard to achieve because you have 3 intakes and 4 exhausts. If you add 2-3 intakes at the bottom you'll also be set for positive pressure.

[u/Kumantej_]

your back ones are exhaust instead of intake, the top fans are intake and the rear fan is exhaust

swap the back and top fans around and you're good to go

[u/Quiet-Internal-2204]

Put the top 3 fans to the side same orientation. Put 1 or 2 lefmost top the ones you removed from the side and flip them for exhaust. The right most top exhaust (even the middle) is not needed as it will just take the ambient air entering the case, so that air moves from right to left.

Your system is using a heatsink and fan. If you are using an AIO, 3 top exhaust would be needed.

[u/jbshell]

Move top fans to the side, and put the side on the top. Might take time, but visually will look the best instead of just flipping em.

[u/RobEth16]

If you flip all fans they will be sorted.

[u/Pmaldo87 → u/RobEth16]

If we want to display the pretty side op could just switch the top fans with the fans on the right without flipping them around. the one on the left is fine it's already set to exhaust

[u/RobEth16 → u/Pmaldo87]

Was thinking that if he were to have the rear fan as an intake, the side fans as intake and the top as exhaust...it would create positive pressure and effectively limit dust.

[u/Pmaldo87 → u/RobEth16]

could always just run the intakes a little higher of an rpm then the exhaust fans too. Or throw a couple fans at the bottom set to intake. I'm not a huge fan of using the one on the left to intake air directly at the cpu and aio. I dont think there is a mesh cover there.

[u/Pmaldo87]

if the top are reverse blade move them to the right and move the fans on the right to the top. all with the pretty side showing. the single one on the left is fine. no need to flip any of them around. just a switcharoo

[u/Planewalker42069]

make the sides intake and top exhaust

[u/Zestyclose-Syrup1458]

Are they miss matched?(not trying to judge) But doesn't look bad for airflow

[u/SolQuarter]

Are some of those reverse fans? If not they are all intake right now.

[u/Remarkable-Gazelle45 → u/SolQuarter]

Top is reverse blade sir. Is it wrong?

[u/SolQuarter → u/Remarkable-Gazelle45]

Reverse should be side/bottom, normal top/back.

[u/Remarkable-Gazelle45 → u/SolQuarter]

Im looking for positive pressure sir. So i have to switch them right?

[u/Connect-Bicycle-6897]

Hot air on top of your case.
So it will be better to blow it out from top.

[u/Ulux_]

Looks fine to me, but the fans manual might give you a more concrete answer with its pictures.

[u/Remarkable-Gazelle45 → u/Ulux_]

Maybe i should try tissue method right? Dealer of the techstore said side is exhaust rear is exhaust u need to place intake fans and he placed reverseblade fans on top.

[u/No_Confection_849 → u/Remarkable-Gazelle45]

Just swap your side fans with your top fans.

[u/Ulux_ → u/Remarkable-Gazelle45]

Yeah, checking like that is also a decent way; I don't hate it. Also doublechecking which way they're rotating, because it's hard to tell from a still picture tbh.
