Alright, I'm really considering this case, but I'm a little confused with the cooling design, I'm assuming I'm retarded but...

This case has two zones for heat, according to Lian-Li so I would assume they will work independently from one another. What I'm thinking is that this case will make positive pressure which isn't the best situation for temp reduction.

2 Intakes and 1 Out from the bottom, and 1 exhaust up top with no real intake. What am I missing? Is the video card (single card in my case) supposed to do the rest of the exhaust? And what about the top? Where is the cool air supposed to come from? I love the layout, but I'm a little confused how it is supposed to be great at air cooling if the exhaust CFM doesn't match the intake CFM based on the cooling "zones"

Overpressure in zone 2 will allow air to exhaust out of the passive vents, which is why this case is heavily vented (pci covers and etc.) This will clear stale air around the video card area out.
