@@xExekut3x one possibility is visual aesthetics. nothing pretty about a fat air duct shooting from the side panel to the CPU. a more likely explanation is diminishing returns. cooling solutions in computers have come very far from cheap fans and shitty heat syncs. these system integrators probably see solutions such as the aforementioned air duct as a waste of development time and money, being that they can get plenty capable cooling out of any regular CPU cooler off the market.

There has been some stuff like this tried in the past commercially, but it never really succeeded. This is a super complex topic though, not only because fluid dynamics is a masters degree on its own, but you also have to account for all the other parts of the computer that needs some cooling, an almost infinite amount of hardware configurations, the fact that cooling with air is not the same as pushing air into a turbo for fuel, that there is another medium that actually transfers the heat between the source and the air you are moving, fire hazards, material science, the fact that people really like to see their components, convection etc etc. I have seen shrouds like this in the past (dont remember what company) but I like to think there is a reason why they never really took off and that the go-to solution for custom heat exchange is water cooling. But at least it goes to show that theres potential!

Well put, should be upvoted more. I had a case in 2003 that had air flow ducting, I ended up removing it when I upgraded to a larger CPU cooler. As you noted, many parts - capacitors, memory modules etc. are intended to be cooled by the general air flow throughout the case.

​@@8654ZuluFoxtrot Honestly keep at it! In general the whole case's internals should be designed to allow for better airflow. Most cases are too boxy where the air will bounce around and cause turbulence. Also there's tones of gaps throughout most cases to allow different sized hardware to be mounted and things like the I/O slots in the back and if you don't have some positive pressure it will just suck in air and dust that further mess with the whole thing.

Just a tip if you ever decide to revisit this or if anyone else tries this, look into using the "sweep" function as well. It lets you "sweep" a curve you've made along a path you've defined. That lets you make complex ducts with gradual curves more easily, and gradual curves are good for airflow.

@Yarsig
@Yarsig 6 месяцев назад
@@ckngmad1357 No. If you take a look at the finished product, 10:27, there's a lot of acute angles, and thus, sharp curves. This can disrupt airflow because the air will run into the angled surface much like a physical object and bounce off, creating turbulence and disrupting the flow of the air coming in behind it. When you have a gradual curve, (like a bell curve from a graph) air will travel much more smoothly, and 'slide' along the curve, rather than 'bounce' off an angle. Think of it like driving. If you take a sharp corner going 50, you'll smash into the guard rail. If you take a gradual curve going 50, you'll stay on the road without having to slowdown much, if at all. What you're saying is rifling, and I think that would actually harm airflow, rather than aid it. Rifling is useful for creating a stabilizing spiral on an object be ejected, (and yes, air) but the only real benefit would be if you're trying to aim the air at a distant target.

The only thing I’m curious about is potential turbulence caused by the walls of the ducts having those edges due to the layers of the 3d print material. If you could print them in a different orientation so that the material is laid down longways going in the direction of the duct, that would tremendously increase air velocity and overall CFM and efficiency. Alternatively, you could line the ducts with a smoother material, or somehow construct them completely of metal.

And old PCI cards with scraped off components and drilled hole as a mount for a small fan under the passively cooled GPU.

I started doing this with cardboard and masking tape back in 1998. I spent more than a decade having people mock the low-key mods, but I also achieved some pretty epic overclocks. As you've identified in many videos before thhere are really only a couple of parts that are properly temperature-sensitive; the rest just need to be 'cool enough'. You've really added a great engineered look for the first time that I've seen. It's the same outcome as cardboard and tape, but the result is something I'd be happy to show off in a case modding context. The one lesson I learned the hard way was to not take incidental airflow away from the MOSFETs on the motherboard. Keep an eye on those temps for reliability, SSD and RAM aren't as big a drama that way. Looks like the airflow pattern from the top rear intake fan is probably doing an ideal job of keeping the key motherboard and RAM parts cool in this instance though.

This is actually awesome. I'm a 3D modeller/designer in the manufacturing industry and there are several ways to use the loft and shell commands to optimise your current design. Airflow clings to edges and 3D printing ridges and those straight lines would be causing some turbulence, decreasing the overall efficiency. I would be rounding everything possible to lessen this. However, you are 90% there and I'm definitely going to use this design methodology on my next build. I also have the advantage of 3D rendering skills so I can design this and also test how it will look before printing. Thanks for this idea!

The way it’s done in this video works though, there’s still at least a spare intake fan pulling cool air into the case.

@@stevenswall ah I didn't take it like that, I think what he was saying was that we don't put fans "everywhere" in a case because there is no point, but conversely having directional tunneling onto the gpu and cpu is bad as the other components such as RAM and SSDs also require cooling. Ultimately the components that generate the most heat (gpu, psu and cpu) need dedicated fans and in all three instances the fans are setup to blow ON to those components, so the ambient case temperature needs to be maintained for that to be beneficial - the most effective way to do that in a room that's below 30c is to have an airflow which brings in more air than it pushes out (say 4 in, 2/3 out) and in the example of a hot country where the ambient is say 35-40 to have it balanced. Tldr is you want the ambient temperature of the air in a case to be around 20-25 where possible for air cooling, if that's not possible then water cooling is necessary for high spec rigs and/or overclocked builds.

@Nekochukinch 8 месяцев назад
This is actually a good point. The case being used I believe is actually designed for negative airflow which just means it's designed for pushing hot air out as the priority. That's why the front intake is actually routed from the opposite side panel. Positive airflow typically leave a mesh grill at the front for direct fan intake. Gamer nexus did a great video on negative airflow cases and the effects of jamming more fans in them. In this case(ha) I think if you were having high temps on ssd or ram already, this would not help those components if the case is truly a close air circuit.

I had the same idea as you. Today, I'm shopping for a CPU cooling fan, and I've been thinking that to maximize the cooling airflow, it would be better for the fan to go through a smaller opening. It's just a theory I had, and then I stumbled upon your video. It was really great!

Forcing air through a smaller opening does not reduce air temperature rather it increases velocity. One perceives the air is cooler due to the increased velocity. Think of it this way. The faster you spin a fan (increase velocity), the cooler the air feels yet the air temperature did not change.

Smooth out those bends with a fillet, get as much laminar flow going in, and less static pressure will be required, airflow should improve significantly more on the CPU. (master of eng. - thesis on airflow in medical devices) - currently in that scenario the air will be separating massively, with lots of turbulent air only getting to the bottom half of the air cooler just so you know. Try and straight line the air as much as possible. Edit: P.s commented before watching

I was thinking the same thing, but At least with the current design, there isn't much space to round out the CPU duct because of the GPU duct competing for the same space. I'm sure there is a complex design that somehow smooths the curves of both, but it might be too much work for minimal pay-off.

@ApacheVR-4 8 месяцев назад
I think that if I were to design something like this, I would have the Upper fan at the front of the case act as intake and the Top fan that he is currently using as intake for the CPU as the new exhaust for the GPU. You would have to get a bit more creative with making the 2 tubes move past one another, but you would get a much more direct airflow path for both CPU and GPU. Hell, you MIGHT even be able to use both top fans as exhaust for the GPU that way. It's worth noting that I think this is why most SFF cases do so well with thermals and smaller coolers compared to their larger tower brethren. Many SFF cases place the components where they bring in fresh air from one side and exhaust out the other side fairly efficiently.

I got the best results with the intake fan glued the furthest away from the radiator. The inside of my duct goes round (fan side) to square-ish (radiator). Hot glue is great to seal ducts to radiators, fans to ducts, and is pretty easy to remove.

As a car enthusiast myself, I absolutely love this idea and way of thinking! Some notes though: -The rest of the parts/components on the motherboard need decent airflow too. The only air they are getting from this set up is from the bottom of the front fans blowing in, and the rear back fan is the exhaust fan for the case itself. With the GPU in the way the air is likely splitting the 1 intake fans airflow, best case scenario half towards the motherboard and half the glass (which is useless, and more than half is likely going this way). This could be fixed with a piece that moves air from that front fan directly to the motherboard. -The SSD must be an M.2 under one of those plates with the ROG eye on it, which does not look like is getting much airflow as is, meaning the SSD is getting much less from the one fan when it was likely used to getting it from the bottom fan (floor-fan? That's what I call mine) as well. -When you remember that he said he "drastically" reduced those fans speeds because they "aren't really doing anything", you start to realize the case isn't getting much airflow to the other components. Might want to make sure those are at a decent speed if they are not already. Still, an awesome video!

This. I was thinking the same especially the components VRM and southbridge as those things insanely heats up. Although modern motherboards have heatsinks on them, it would be great to see it properly dissipated too.

I did the same air channeling with the idea of "one fan cools the chip, means one fan can take the heat out" got even better results. Now I start to hate 10-fan computer cases that can't cool but just induce dust and brute force and consume unnecesary power and produce noise for no reason just to watch some RGBs. People don't think at all, they just want turning things with lights. Thanks for making a great explanation about this.

People have been doing this in the embedded server space forever. But it's still a fun experiment. Nice job

My old Dell from the 2000s had channeled air like this--I definitely did not appreciate how smart that was at the time. Would love to see more mass produced computers that are highly optimized for airflow like this. That'll allow for quieter PCs and/or lower overall energy usage, which is awesome either way.

I had an old dual xeon workstation which came with 1 cpu actively cooled and 1 passive. The passive one was constantly thermal throttling and when I investigated it became apparent some ducting was missing from my system. It was basically impossible to get hold of so I truly botched it with cardboard and aluminium tape. In my defense it worked and the cpu became usable, and it never went on fire!

I think the cpu temps didn’t change, purely because of the smaller internal case volume you created by adding all of the ducts. Less room for the motherboard heat to dissipate. Awesome design and love the rs3…I have the TT. 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎
