as you see my cpu cooler is a kraken x60 and probably will replace it with a Noctua NF-A14 FLX 68.0 CFM 140mm Fan ...and replace all the stock case fans with a Noctua NF-F12 PWM 55.0 CFM 120mm Fan ....
my question is....how should i distribute and connect all the case fans i will replaced? connect them all to the mobo? or directly to the psu? connect some to the mobo and connect some to the psu? i need advice
