NZXT Phantom 410 - Using ALL 8 Fan options

Troof2Troof · Sep 18, 2013

Does anyone have experience using ALL 8 of the fans available in the phantom 410?

I'm just curious. Right now I have it set up like this:

2x Top Exhaust
2x Front Intake
1x Rear Exhaust
1x Side (still not sure which is better but I think intake is better for cooling the GPU)

There are two spots left for fans:
1x Internal adjustable
1x Bottom

I don't see the benefit of the bottom one, unless its another intake and I change the side to an exhaust.

The one on the bottom might be nice as an intake too.

What do you guys and girls think?

You have WAY more than enough fans. Adding more will not make anything better. (may even make airflow worse)

I would ditch the side intake. and leave it at that. Side fans often hurt airflow more than they help.

My friend has I believe 6 or 7 of them. He has 2500K with 2x 6870's and it cools great.

tiny voices :

what about switching it to an exhaust for the GPU.

Also, anyone know how to determine the amount of fans a 30w controller can handle?

I need to know more about this. I have this case for 1 years with stock fans ( 1x140mm top, 1x120mm front and 1x120mm rear ) How many more fans can i put and where?

I was thinking of 1 more 140mm top, 1 more 120mm front and 1 140mm interior pivot. ( Do i need the full hdd cage in this case? Cause i removed the half )

And also can the fan controller take control of all of them? Or should i buy them with pwr or not? And also which fans do you recommend to buy? The nxzt i looked here ( greece ) are very expensive.

And where i install the cables? At motherboard or fan controller?

You have no need for more fans. The stock fans are perfect for cooling basically any computer.

lazostat :

Too many fans and air does not flow in a linear fashion- I.E. instead of it flowing in the front and out the back/top (depending on you're configuration), it swirls around inside the case. That creates pockets of hot air that never exit. Bad. Very bad. Unless components are overheating stock fans will be fine.

EDIT: If you do purchase a controller, you don't NEED one with PWM function unless you're fans are PWM fans (they have a 4 prong plug, not a three).
