I am building a computer inside a HAF 912 Advanced case. I think the default airflow in this case should be like this picture: http://www.coolermaster.com/upload/product_feature/HAF9... (This also shows the size of the fans and where they are). The thing is I want to add a water cooler like the Corsair H60 or Cooler Master Seidon 120M, and as far as I know, that requires the fan on the back of the case to be setup as an intake fan not an exhaust fan. I also want to add a side intake fan. So I was wondering if I would have too many intake fans in this situations, and if I did, what I could do to get around it.

Thank You

Hmmm I'm not terribly experienced with water cooling, but my understanding is that you can position the radiator and fans on the top of the case so that you have three exhaust fans (1 lateral 2 vertical) thus maintaining the airflow of the case. A question you might also want to consider is this: Why not air cooling for your CPU if you've already got such a big case? That is the great advantage of the mid tower: they can fit enormous, quiet, low maintenance air coolers.

I think the ones placed on the top are the 120mm radiators not the 120mm ones, plus I already have a 200mm fan on the top. And I just prefer going with liquid
