Is this enough airflow?

[JPS]

I have an Antec KS282 case and am considering changing my fan setup to the following:


Location Model CFM dBA
Lower Intake Panaflo L1A 120mm 69 30
Rear Exhaust Panaflo L1A 80mm -24 21
Roof Exhaust Panaflo L1A 60mm -14.1 24
PSU Exhaust Enermax 92mm Clear -30 27

TOTOL CFM +0.9

Will that be adequate airflow for cooling? I wanna keep it as quiet as possible, hence the Panaflos all around.

LMK what you think...

FWIW: CPU is a D650@836 soon to be a TBird1.2@???? using a Tailsol cooler.

Looks good to me.

Sounds good, but You might wanna push just a couple of more cfms through your system, like by using an intake w/ more cfms and adjusting your exhausts accordingly. Do you already have the Taisol, or are you planning on buying one? Because the sk-6 or zalman cnps5000+ might be a better choice if you haven't already bought a hsf.
Just a suggestion

I have the Taisol already, but I am planning on putting a ThermalTake 60mm fan in place of the Delta 60mm that it ships with

I remember reading in a couple of places that the ThermalTake fan doesn't really push that many cfms for that dba. Try posting at amdmb.com, and they'll tell you the truth about it.

1. Use a larger fan for the "roof exhaust". I'm not familiar with the size of your case, but consider 80mm as a minimum for small towers, 92mm as a minimum for mid-size towers, and 120mm for large/full towers. Although heat rises, there are many vertical obstructions in full towers, and you will need vacuum up top to draw the air out and ensure good case flow.

2. The Thermaltake fan definitely does not put out the cfm claimed, but it a good unit for a quiet fan.

Teh biggest I can fit up in the roof is an 80mm. I am considering ordering Panaflo L1As or M1As for the roof OR simply using an 80mm PCPowerCooling 80mm silencer fan that I currently have.

My case is pretty neat & clean wired, with minimal obstructions, even to the roof I would think that an 80mm will work. Don't have room for a 92mm.

Definetely use a 80mm top exhaust fan. Personally I don't like 60mm fans as case fans at all, they are loud, don't push much air and look wimpy
