PC Case AIRFLOW; A Visual Guide for Optimal Cooling.
#gamingpc #pcbuild #howto - Airflow, one of the most discussed topics in the PC DIY space. What’s the ideal cooling setup for my PC? Should I use an air cooler or liquid AIO? What’s the difference between cases? Let’s start from the basics and work our way through!
Timecodes, though I don’t recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons!

In this video I take a look back through almost two years of Airflow Visualizations from previous builds and take a look at how the air interacts with different configurations.
When it comes to cooling a Gaming PC, there are many ways to do this efficiently, but I wanted to give you guys the basics to understand the fundamentals of moving air inside multiple different cases and the associated fans that come with them.
Of course, there are more we could’ve covered here such as pull/push radiator layouts, full custom loops and not forgetting open chassis cases. All of which may come in a future video for a more ’advanced’ airflow instructible.

To wrap this up, airflow doesn’t have to be complicated. Always keep in mind that, the more efficiently you can get air in and back out of the case, the cooler your system will be. Always make sure your fans are oriented in the correct direction and take some time to find a balance for performance vs aesthetic :)
