oh hello good people so today let's talk about the airflow or the cooling potential inside the new PC Oh 11 dynamic from Langley the amount of interest that we've received on there our review video which you can check out over here has been tremendous thank you for all these suggestions on what type of fan configuration I should test out today so that is what I'm doing with this video so let's continue right after this hi I'm looking for a case well look no further I got this beauty the H seven hundred by NZXT with all steel premium frame with a side of tempered glass - beautifully showcase any cooling adventure you might pursue and cable management system that you wish you had earlier all this lit up with integrated RGB lighting and built-in fan control the aged 700 I this one's for you I'll take it and so a quick recap on this enclosure it's pretty fantastic but is it you'd see it has no front intake so it's just glass and glass so the only airflow sections are the side top and the bottom so we're gonna populate all those sections for exhaust and intake and see which one gives us the best result now normally I'm not the one to go with RGB fans because they require additional wiring and more hubs and etc and like to keep my things as tidy and clean as possible but for case like this where I'm not doing a hard loop I have to compensate somehow for the extra bling which is where these ml 120 Pro RGB fans come in well that was an unintentional rhyme and to alleviate the inconvenience of powering all six fans I have the commander throw so this thing is pretty cool we have six PWM fan headers additional USB ports and LED strips in here so I can control the lighting and fans directly from one hub from one software so I can actually monitor my fan rpm so that we can have like you know a fair comparison on this intake exhaust situation inside the Shalini case you see I hope I'm not making a giant mistake with these fans be RGB I mean is that too much like normally I would populate an LED strip so I can give the hardware some accent but now the fans are RGB I wonder if it'll be too much I hope not all right so for connectivity I'm actually super happy to say that it's pretty straightforward so each fan goes into this lighting controller hub that has the four pin that communicates with this different hub and that goes into your motherboard so you can control the lighting via the software but that is exactly where the commander Pro comes in because we eliminate these two pieces so now all the fans can be connected via the PWM connector and on the commander Pro and then the lighting hub can goes directly into the commander Pro so only these little pieces are required to control both the speed and the lighting of all my six fans so not bad at all but now let me populate all these fans and we'll see what type of temperatures we get now before we go any further which of the configurations either for top exhaust or intake where the bottom exhaust or intake will deliver the best results so leave your expectations in the comments and then come back to it to see if you are correct I think that adding some intake at the bottom will definitely improve the GPU temperatures and because we're already exhausting so much with the 360 from the side I want to know what temperature's we get by having a little bit of extra exhaust from top so we eliminate that heat around the motherboard area so let the temperature testing begin so I'm trying to be careful with my testing measuring room temperature making sure that I account for any deltas in ambient temperatures making sure that we account for what the temperature will be like without any side panels then adding those levels of fans and their orientation to see how things change I think this was one of the most requested configurations to check out so more intake at the bottom so I have three fans in there giving fresh air for the GPU and the side radiator so there's a bit of that and I am running my benchmark stress test for 25 minutes so there there's enough time for the liquid inside the old one to actually heat up and we can see what the difference is with that additional intake at the bottom and while we wait it's the perfect time for boot sequence snows fill us in hey what's up Dmitri in the audience i'm snow's your host for boot sequence and did you know that AMD was working on ddr5 memory did you know that the latest Call of Duty might include a battle royale mode well if you want the latest and greatest in tech games and perhaps fashion I'm just kidding do not take any fashion advice from me but join me on boot sequence linked in the description below so yeah subscribe to boot sequence all the social media is in the description now let's get back to our results I'm also apparently collecting noise information because of course temperatures is one thing but having a super loud system would mean you know you potentially don't want to have a 6 or 9 fans in in there so I will see which fan configuration actually is like the best balance between acoustics and temperatures alright so after five hours of temperature testing here is the mothership graph starting with an open case this is your best case scenario for the CPU temperatures with the side exhaust where the GPU suffers next in line is the radiator up top for exhaust and all the other six fans set up to intake air so both the GPU and maximum temperatures are totally under control the next best CPU scenario is for the all in one side intake three bottom fans for intake and three top for exhaust but you can see the GPU suffers because of that extra heat delivered from the radiator next one is surprising with both sides and top set up for exhaust CPU temps and maximum time our higher but the GPU gets that nice fresh air then the last one with the radiator side exhaust and only three bottom intakes would be the hottest scenario since the top is not really utilized for that exhaust and if we have no additional airflow at all so just the all-in-one cooler for the side exhaust CPU and GPU are at their worst and highest temps surprisingly noise variation between six or nine fans is not that significant which is why at random at 1000 rpm because it makes no sense to run all nine fans at full speed now of course these are is also very especially if you are water cooling the GPU because the GPU spits out a lot of heat into the enclosure so there are two trends that emerge through this test so the first one is having some sort of intake at the bottom for the GPU is a must in order to deliver fresh air for the GPU it definitely helps the second thing is if your priorities for the CPU cooling with a radiator then the side intake is the best if you want to mount the radiator on the side but it does negatively impact the GPU so that's one thing to keep in mind whereas what I have configured now is like your best-case scenario with the radiator up top for exhaust and then having three fans for intake both on the side and the bottom delivers the best fresh air both for the interior and the GPU and so I think nine fans in the system is kind of overkill but if you populate let's say just one fan in the bottom it will definitely help to deliver some fresh air for the GPU but then it wouldn't look that great because it's just one fan and this whole thing is very exposed so you also have to potentially think about the visual aspect alongside your temperatures but I feel like having a water block on the GPU would definitely help temperatures because then all that heat will not be circulating on the interior and then you can have radiator for exhaust the top radiator on the side for exhaust as well maybe and then just having a few fans at the bottom for intake to have like this optimal cooling scenario all right so what have I learned from this experience well temperature testing is extremely time-consuming especially when we're dealing with multiple configurations of fans and I even did stuff with running the fans at full speed at multiple configurations just to see how that would temperatures but that's not a really realistic scenario and I'm gonna show you some numbers right now and they are better of course because the fans are going to full blast but then the system is incredibly loud and would be such unrealistic and for number two I am so happy I have to commend the pro because I initially was thinking just using fan splitters and connecting the fans to my motherboard but having to commend the pro and having that exact rpm control to eliminate any variables in my testing is so awesome plus lighting control baby that looks absolutely gorgeous so let me know what you think of this entire experiment and come back to your original comment to see what your expectations were like in the beginning versus what you know now in terms of temperature testing and the reason why I'm not doing anything with airflow in terms of the CPU tower cooler is because this case really is designed for radiators and so the airflow version will come out so we'll be doing more things with the air coolers on that side of things but for here it's really radiator focused alright so that's it for me make sure to subscribe check out this other relevant content don't forget to subscribe to boot sequence the new channel for all that delicious tech news and we'll see you in the next video who alright good people who and see how temperatures improve for the GPU I don't know sir so yeah make sure the subscribe told so make sure to subscribe to do a channel for all we should be okay we should be fine
