Will Having More Intake Fans Mess Up My Airflow?

Asked By TechnoWiz88 On

I recently got a Montech King 95 Pro case that comes with six fans: one 120mm rear exhaust, three 120mm bottom intakes, and two 140mm side intakes. In a bit of a mix-up, I ended up buying three extra 120mm fans, but they're all intakes! I'm worried that having eight intake fans and just one exhaust might mess up the airflow in my case. Additionally, these intake fans are set up to showcase the RGB lights, so flipping them around would expose the plastic backing. Will this setup harm the airflow in my case?

You can just unscrew the fans and flip them if you want! It changes the airflow direction easily. Just remember that too many intakes can create positive pressure, which isn’t always the best.

Technically, having more intakes isn’t a total disaster, but it’s probably more airflow than you need. You might be fine, but it's unnecessary. Just monitor the performance after you set everything up!

Why not just try it out? See how your system performs with the way it is, and if it’s not working, you can always adjust later!

Honestly, you could just flip the fans around to make them exhaust instead, but I get that you want the RGB to be visible. If you keep them as intakes, it might not ruin the airflow completely, but it’s not ideal. You’ll have to experiment a bit to see how it affects temps!

Yeah, I get you! The RGB can look awesome when it's displayed right, but just keep an eye on your temps. If they start to climb, you might need to reconsider.
