Hey Everyone,
I'm going to build my first computer and all the parts should be here later today.
I just have some concerns on the best way to setup the fans in the case. Here's my build:
Intel Core i7-4770K
Asus Sabertooth Z87
Corsair H100i
EVGA GeForce GTX780 SuperClocked w/EVGA ACX Cooler
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000W 80 PLUS Gold
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL9 @1.5V
Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB SATA 6Gbps SSD
7200RPM HDD
DVD Burner
NZXT Phantom 410
Here's the default fan layout for this case:
FRONT, 2x120mm or 1 X 140mm (1x120mm included)
REAR, 1 X 120mm (included)
SIDE, 1 x 120mm or 1 x 140mm
TOP, 2 X 120/140mm (1 x 140mm included)
Here's how I plan on setting it up:
FRONT, 2x120mm or 1 X 140mm (1x120mm included) - Leave this 120mm as an intake
REAR, 1 X 120mm (included) - Leave this 120mm as an exhaust
SIDE, 1 x 120mm or 1 x 140mm - I will take the 140mm fan off the top and use it as an intake
TOP, 2 X 120/140mm (1 x 140mm included) - I'll replace the 140mm fan with the 2x 120mm fans that come with the H100i as an exhaust
Is this is a good intake/exhaust setup?
What's the best way to control all of these fans? Should I use the Corsair software for the top?
Should I connect them ALL to the fan control of the case?
Can I control ALL of them with the mobo software?
I'm confused as to the best way to set it up and I'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks!
