00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:05.560
I'm going to run a freaking Benchmark for an entire year then I'll make

00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:10.200
another video a year from now explaining what the results were of said Benchmark

00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:14.240
why well because we love multi-part videos and making you wait for their

00:00:11.559 --> 00:00:18.920
conclus no no no seriously this time there is a good reason we've been saying

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:24.080
for a long time that balanced air flow leaning on the side of positive internal

00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:28.679
pressure is better than very positive or any form of negative but we've never

00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:33.760
done a formal long-term investigation and to our knowledge NE has anyone else

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:38.709
so let's fix

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:47.079
that Verde Gear's ergonomic s and plus

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:50.000
line gaming chairs make a great addition to any gaming setup check them out at

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.239
the link below okay first we need to actually

00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:58.600
establish what the different types of internal air pressure are first you've

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:03.559
got negative air pressure this is when the majority of the fan power in your

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:08.960
case is focused on sucking air out of said case like if you had a rear fan a

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:13.600
top-mounted AO cooler blowing air up and a single front intake then you've got

00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:18.080
positive air pressure this is where the majority of your fan power is focused on

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.560
pulling air into the case if you flipped around the fans on your radiator from

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.880
the previous example it would become positive and finally we've got the

00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:30.479
mystical balanced or neutral air flow where your air flow in and out of the

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:35.079
case equal each other the conventional wisdom goes like so a negative pressure

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:39.560
setup will end up pulling air into the case through small gaps in the chassis

00:01:37.479 --> 00:01:44.119
that are just unavoidable unless case manufacturers use some type of seal

00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:49.439
everywhere that two different parts of the case met like your side panels to

00:01:47.119 --> 00:01:56.600
the case for instance this would completely destroy the usability of the

00:01:53.960 --> 00:02:01.560
case because of air flowing through these inevitable gaps dust is also

00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:06.600
sucked in in and accumulates throughout your rig potentially reducing cooling

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:11.760
performance or even causing component failure if left long enough easy

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:16.959
solution right with a positive air pressure setup you'll be pushing air out

00:02:14.040 --> 00:02:22.959
of those cracks instead but if you overdo your uh positivity it's going to

00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:26.920
be really turbulent inside of the case you might end up creating pockets of hot

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:31.680
air that actually harm your cooling efficiency and besides no cases that I'm

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:37.200
aware of are designed to have an intake on every single fan Mount so perhaps the

00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:41.560
more balanced approach is the answer now we here at the office have always rooted

00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:46.200
for balanced air flow leaning slightly on the positive side of things because

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:50.360
theoretically and from our anecdotal experience we found that it's a good

00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:55.280
balance between cooling performance overall dust reduction and actually

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:59.120
being able to control the delivery of cool air to the zones in your PC that

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:02.879
need it the most like just under your graphics card and through your CPU

00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:08.400
Cooler but anecdotal evidence has never been enough for us here or at least it

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:13.480
shouldn't be so the test today is to build three identical computers one each

00:03:10.920 --> 00:03:18.799
to represent negative pressure very positive pressure and mostly neutral but

00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:23.879
leaning on the side of positive since practically speaking it's impossible to

00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:29.439
make a perfectly neutral airflow setup okay so I've gathered three sets of the

00:03:25.799 --> 00:03:31.599
same Hardware this is mostly mostly some

00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:36.720
old stuff that we can actually do without for about a year I've got three

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:40.519
fractal design r5s and we're going to put it all in these different cases

00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:44.760
shove it somewhere in the warehouse and then be good to go so let's build so now

00:03:42.640 --> 00:03:49.480
that that's all done we were left with Audi the case that I built and I had

00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:53.879
Tyler replicate twice for innie and in betweeny innie has all of the fans

00:03:51.799 --> 00:03:57.439
blowing in the two in the front blowing this way the two in the top blowing down

00:03:55.519 --> 00:04:00.959
and the one in the back blowing in as well now the two in the top blowing down

00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:04.599
and the two in the front blowing in are actually very realistic the one in the

00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:09.400
back blowing in is a little bit less realistic but we just wanted to go

00:04:06.519 --> 00:04:13.599
hardcore with the theme Audi has all of the fans blowing out so the two in the

00:04:11.720 --> 00:04:18.519
front are blowing out the two in the top are blowing out and the one in the back

00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:22.040
is blowing out and then in betweeny is a little bit different we have the two in

00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:26.160
the front blowing in and two in the bottom blowing in and then one in the

00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:29.960
top blowing out and one in the back blowing out the reason why we did this

00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:34.160
was because the two in the front have to fight with this front panel which is

00:04:31.960 --> 00:04:38.320
actually a lot of restriction and can only bring in air through the side and

00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:41.759
then it has to go through a filter a lot of restriction the bottom has to fight

00:04:40.479 --> 00:04:46.080
with the fact that it's against the ground and has to go through a filter as

00:04:43.960 --> 00:04:49.560
well so we wanted to kind of overpower the amount of air coming in because it

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:54.199
had to fight against these elements and then the air going out was just fan

00:04:52.039 --> 00:04:57.440
grills no filters or obstructions or anything like that so we only had two of

00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:01.919
those fans a little bit of a different configuration but should be fine now all

00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:06.280
we have to do is take these three computers and shove them way back there

00:05:05.080 --> 00:05:10.680
all right so we're somewhere that you don't normally see in line Tech videos

00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:16.199
this is behind one of the sets we got the computers lined up AE inie in

00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:19.319
betweeny are all in a row so after a year we're going to check how much dust

00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:23.319
has accumulated in each setup I have arranged them in a way that they should

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:30.319
have a minimum amount of backwash to each other uh they're facing the fuzzy

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:31.800
wall so there's no Direct in takes this

00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:35.520
way because the intakes on the front of the case actually come out of the sides

00:05:33.919 --> 00:05:42.319
of the case so they're intaking from this way um and then they're shooting

00:05:38.280 --> 00:05:44.840
air back out or in the case of any

00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:49.280
pulling air in from the wooden wall so that should all be fine um and this is

00:05:47.960 --> 00:05:53.880
where I'm going to leave them so now I guess we just turn them on that one

00:05:51.880 --> 00:06:01.960
worked that one worked that one worked and then we wait

00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:03.479

a Linus Tech tips t-shirt which I'm totally uh wearing right now that

00:06:53.000 --> 00:07:00.479
probably screwed up the mic sorry about that uh check out this video which is a

00:06:57.280 --> 00:07:02.240
workshop video where we explore how

00:07:00.479 --> 00:07:06.160
cable management and keeping things unobstructed in your case isn't that

00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:12.360
important anymore but you should probably still cable manage your cables

00:07:07.960 --> 00:07:12.360
anyways and I'll see you guys next time
