Eh, why are the fans pulling in through the exhaust vent? In that config you are pulling back in the heat from the GPU... |

Racine, WI | It's still warmer then the air coming in through the front intake. That and why have the cross turbulence by having the airflow going back and forth in the case, get all your fans generally going front to back to keep the flow rate consistent for greater turnover of air in the case. Having the heated air double back into the case is going to increase overall temperature.

Having the heated air double back into the case is going to increase overall temperature. Doesn't appear to. The front intake is only for the PSU and the GPU intake. The whole GPU cuts the case in half. Cool air is drawn in below (there is another unfanned grate in the bottom to draw air).
The GPU lives on cold air drawn through the bottom and lower fan grille and kicked out through the GPU exhaust. The GPU backplate heat rises and is mixed with the CPU cooler and blows out the top with a double grill and boost fan. GPU idle is ~50C (two monitors) and games at ~90C with all eye candy turned up. The diagram above may help you understand the airflow. The majority of the heat produced us actually on the backplate, not the GPU exhaust (It's also the EVGA High Flow bracket for the 460 OC).

Racine, WI | And yet heat rises, the rad fan is sucking up the heated air expelled from the PSU and GPU. Yes, it's good you have top intake, but if I'm not mistaken there's an open grate on the front of the case correct? Air should come in from the front and bottom and go out the back and top. It's not a hard concept...

It's not a hard concept... No, it's a top exhaust. And there is a front grate fan that blows cool air in, which you can see by the arrow. The CPU cooler does not appear to be affected. Why not? Take a look at the placement of the monitor cables. They form a natural baffle and deflector. They aren't particularly warm, either.

It's not a hard concept... More photos. The cooler intake is four inches and more above the exhaust and offset as well as air being deflected by the video cables. Little or no warm air intake.

said by Parogadi:And yet heat rises, the rad fan is sucking up the heated air expelled from the PSU and GPU. It's not a hard concept... Good point !! That never really occurred to me, but it should have. That H50 intake fan is guaranteed to suck hot-air past and around those plugs and straight into the case. Yet another reason I'm glad I stopped buying cases and started building open and flat blades.
I have seen it in various forums, but I never agreed with reversing the H50 fan flow to an exhaust, contrary to Corsair's suggested mounting. However; with a bottom-mount power supply and/or rear exhausted GPU's, I can now understand a very valid reason for doing so. Especially for those cases which do not have top mounted exhaust fans

That never really occurred to me, but it should have. That H50 intake fan is guaranteed to suck hot-air past and around those plugs and straight into the case. Yet another reason I'm glad I stopped buying cases and started building open and flat blades. I would suggest that is not entirely true and that you are overestimating the impact of the GPU exhaust. In the case above there is a distinct difference in temp above and below the video cables. The offset also makes a difference in that particular case (this is a mid-tower). The H50 is still taking in cool air. In any situation, the fan does seem to cope well. I have had it running at 25% overclock (4 GHz) without difficulty. If one were really concerned, one could point a fan at the intake, but that could cause its own turbulence issues. The Corsair recommendation, though non-intuitive, seems to work and work well. Much depends on your case and internal airflow. For my setup, it works very well.
