If I read that right you're saying you have NO exhaust fans? Nothing to push the heat out?

I'm no expert so I'll wait until the Aventum owners pop in... I'm kinda curious about that.

Yeah I used a piece of paper to determine airflow and the paper got sucked in on every fan. But yeah I figured the top would be exhaust since heat rises.

I have an old Aventum and most fans also push air in. It is not an air cooled case, it is designed for liquid cooling only. So you want cool outside air to go through the heat exchangers (radiators). The lower fans on mine (both sides) draw air in and out the back under the psu. The top fans pushes air out. Those rads are the only ones that get inside air that comes in by the front, cools the drives and out the top.  Mine also has a fan in the back side panel facing the back of the cpu base.

Make sure the rad's fins are clean. I have magnetic fine mesh filters in front of the fans to minimize the dust.

Enjoy.

Well that means the top rads are also getting cooler air. The only consequence I see is that you have a case with extreme positive pressure (all fans pushing air in) which will keep it mostly dust free inside which is a good thing. Temps will be affected only by the ambient (room) temp.

Hmm...there is an outflow somewhere. If every fan pulls on the piece of paper, that means air is entering the case. And if there is air entering, it's also exiting somewhere.

On mine (Av II) there is a large opening on the back of the case under the psu area where hot air comes out. That area is where the bottom rads reside with the most fans. The rest comes out the back of the case and everywhere air goes. It is not an airtight case. Smile
