Working from home is awesome, working from bed is not. And people wonder why they have trouble falling asleep...

Wow, thank you for such a great explanation!
I will probably first try switching the side panel fans to exhaust, just because it's much easier and might help level out the pressure. If that doesn't work, I'll definitely try your proposed layout!

The top is mesh. That's why I did so many intake fans - to let the pressure naturally out of the top.
I still might experiment with switching the side panel to exhaust. That's what I wanted to do in the first place but every build I saw used it as an intake and I was scared that would starve the CPU fan.
I did seem to get the noise down a bit by modifying the curves and making the ramp up smoother.

Wouldn't a back intake make the CPU cooler useless? I would need to switch the CPU fan to the other side which I'm not sure there is enough space for.
Exhaust in the bottom seems like it would do the same thing - starve the GPU fans of fresh air.
Top exhaust, though, might be better. 🤔
Hi! I currently have this build using the GT502 case. I just recently got 3 more case fans. Previously it was set up like this:  I think that for some reason the temps got worse and the PC much louder. It might just be buyer's remorse but I got more fans so that they could use less RPM and be quieter, but I feel like the complete opposite has happened. Can I change anything about this layout to optimise airflow? I was thinking of maybe switching the side panel fans to exhaust? That might starve the CPU cooler, though... Maybe I'm just imagining things and I just need to perform exact tests to figure it out. What do you use for testing airflow effectiveness? UPDATE: The issue was weirder than I would've thought. The bottom 3 fans are controlled by one motherboard channel using a PWM splitter cable. The rear and side panel fans are the same - one channel for all 3. Previously I had just the rear exhaust plugged in to a single channel but now it's plugged into the splitter. Apparently the *order* of the fans in the splitter is VERY important. I changed it so that the rear fan is the first in the splitter and that instantly fixed the issue. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

This is exactly the smartass answer I'd expect from Lemmy

Unrelated - I love that picture. I want it as a wallpaper but it's way too square. Do you have some source where I could get a higher definition, wider and/or taller version?

Oh yes, Dark did it in an amazing way too.

I've been on 196 too much. I see "rule" in the title, I instantly think it's supposed to be a meme.

There was a cache near me which was hidden in a tea house. You had to go up to the cashier and ask for the cache. Thought that was pretty cool.

Mostly flash games on some websites. However, the main one I remember was Colin McRae Rally 2.0. Getting a cheap controller with force feedback was amazing.

You're so damn confident with every comment that I am constantly struggling not to believe you're actually Margot Robbie.
