Dual Exhaust via PC Fans? Ultra Kaze 3k RPM HSP

Aloha everyone,

So from my last post I had issues with temps. I was running 29-30c inside the box but now Im at 26-27c which is where I want to be.

Turns out the fans in my led panel cant suck for shit so when I flipped them in an attempt to suck air from the heat sink upward, no air was moving at all which made the box hella hot. Fixed it by flipping the fans to their original blow position.

Im thinking now that since I have a spare UK 3000rpm HSP pc fan that adding another exhaust to my box would lower the temps even more.

I will also be cutting my intake hole bigger because as soon as I shut the door I can hear the fan start screaming.

So will dual exhaust work better than 2 fans stacked on each other sandwich style?
grow space is 1.7ft x 2.7ft x 5.7ft.

input much appreciated. Would like some opinions before I go and buy another pvc elbow.

Mahalo

Imo, I think that if you used one fan for an intake near the bottom of the box and one for an exhaust near the top of the box, would work the best for keeping the temps down.

Hey 707 thanks for the input. Yes I thought about using an active intake to suck more air in but a lot of people said I need to have a lower rated cfm fan if I want To go active intake.

Gotta wait for my ac-ad adapter to come in before I can do that tho
