This pic is confusing me. Why does it look like the fans are blowing across the narrow length of the case?So my new rig came. This machine is beast mode baby!
4k resolution on BF1 Ultra? No slow downs!
Tera which I used to get 25-35 FPS in cities, now I am at 50-60.
D3, LOL, etc all those games are 120+ FPS.
Posted in the "SIJB" thread...but here seems more appropriate.

Haha I'm not the only one. The P5 is designed for WC radiators on this spot. You can put a nice 360 rad there, no problem. But with a 120 rad two of the fans are useless.
Yeah you're going to want to add an SSD like immediately.
You guys know what the heck an array setup is?
So that is an NVME and HDD put together into a RAID Array that is probably RAID 0. This means your read and write from the hard drive is faster because it is cached on that NVME. It is a cheaper way of getting SSD speeds with HDD sizes.
NVME is lightning fast NVMe Vs SATA SSDs: Is it Time to Switch?Thank you. Because I am loading just as fast in all my games...
Never did water cooling. So forgive this explanation. That middle fan is protruding about 2 more inches higher than the other 2 fans. From the angle I took the pic you might not be able to tell. Something is under there though.
The case is hollow with like a 2 inch gap from what the motherboard sits on to the true back of the case.. (Only way I can explain it) There are channels that the fans are blowing into with air holes releasing air throughout the case. When I got to looking at the setup I thought the same thing, what the fuck is being cooled? (The hard drives are under the mother board)... But it dissipates the heat...everywhere since the case has no walls. It really is pretty cool.
I already have a few SSD drives lying around. Didn't want to waste the money. You guys know what the heck an array setup is?
Attached a new pic...

I don't get them either. Wouldn't the cooling be worse due to not being able to direct the airflow as well as a traditional case?
Seems to be form over function to me.
