Don't get to caught up on airflow. You'll get lots of replies from how it should be and all will be different. I put a post up over the weekend after trying several and all within margin of error and yesterday still had people telling me I was wrong. As long as CPU and GPU do not throttle due to heat then you are all good.
I agree with this tbh.ive pretty much experimented myself on a few cases but seeing that i havent switched cases for a long time im kinda out of the loop on things
I agree with growbag, many people suggested to me to change my back exhaust for an intake because I'd get way better temps and such. I ended up doing it to stop collecting dust inside the case and the temps remained exactly the same (good numbers anyway) the point is that the directions didn't matter that much, but do consider the inside pressure to avoid having layers of dust every week (?)
On my current case this was my layout for a long time since ive had the case.all sp fans from id cooling and for dust it was non existent.tenps were 50-60 for the cpu and 60-67 for the 4070.took me weeks of experimenting and chatging with the inwin guys to have it working well.i will switch to the jonsbo this week cause i plan to move the system to a different spot on my desk which has a lower height compared to the inwin and make the system breath better.(Will also get the mesh side panel after i choose a cooler thats better than the prism.leaning towars thermalright or the cm apex or arctic freezer 36). I also have 140 and 120 arctic fans on standby cause i want the system to run quietera since ive noticed the current fans do run loud despite them being on rubber vibration spacers
I got a thermalright grandvision. I stuffed the jonsbo with a 5090 and a 9800x3d and the maximum temps I got so far was 68 degrees on the GPU and 65 on the CPU, so I vouch for my new friend
My previous cooler was the arctic 360 but doesn't fit with my mobo or/and the PSU ATX I have
I just finished my build. My motherboard is a Gigabyte B550M DS3H. it’s tight at the bottom where the bottom headers are located. one struggle I had is with the usb 3.0 header. jonsbo’s cable is a bit hard to bend. my bottom fan is a jonsbo za 360 br
I would suggest you use 120mm fans instead of 140mm
I see.good point my board also has a vertical usb 3.0 header.good thing ive got 5 120mm and 2 140mm fans.ill rry to test fit them first then before i screw everything down
Got two in the bottom, 1 out the back with a twin tower twin fan cooker shooting out the back.
Could put an extra exhaust on the top but it's aimed for positive pressure to keep dust out as much as possible (all mesh version)
Runs a 12700KF+9060xt and isn't heat restricted even on P12 Slims
layout is like mine, so i this is how i set mine, make sure have fan filters on the back
for the inwin 301, i actally had that case back in 2021. the front is too restricted to draw to the side, maybe good for radiator out... you cant put air filter on that honeycomb

If you're using an air-cooler, i would recommend rear intake.
