Airflow over hard drives OK
I own eight 7200rpm HDDs at the front of my case, which run intensively and become quite warm. Many forum discussions suggest airflow should come from the front intake, pass through the top, side, and back, rather than blowing hot air onto other parts. Would it be more effective to direct air from the side fans onto the motherboard, GPU, or CPU, then have the rear/top/front fans expel it out of the case? Given the vertical design with the motherboard upright and heat sinks/gpus pointing upward, this setup could help manage heat better.
The other components, particularly the GPU, generate significantly more heat compared to HDDs, making adequate case cooling sufficient.
