Cooler Master Elite 130 - air flow questions

[max789]

Hi, all

Can someone explain how air flow works in this new case?

Are both the 120mm fan and the side 80mm both in-take fans? The recommended setup for a non-water cooled rig is to mount the PSU with its fan facing up. If this is the case, how is hot air going to be exhausted from the case? Does it rely on positive pressure?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

There is a pretty self explanatory image on the site.

Thanks for your reply.

The diagram highlights the hot warm exhausted via the PSU in both watercooling and aircooling configurations.

It's be interesting to see whether the Elite 130 uses positive pressure to exhaust hot air like the Silverstone SG05, and how efficient the process is, given that the 130 is larger than the SG05.

This thread explores how to cool the SG05 effectively.
