Hi,
I'm currently building a new PC and considering my options in regards to cooling the Asus GTX 660 and case layout.
(I'm going to use it for recording audio so need it quiet and also video editing.. No gaming. Not sure on OC)
I've changed all case fans to Scythe Kama Flow 2 and I'm using an NZXT Kraken X60 for the CPU (stock fans).
I'm trying to keep positive pressure so there's less dust.. So more intake fans than exhaust.
I'm not liking that most of the GTX 660 heat will be pushed back into the case so I'm thinking maybe using a closed loop 120mm rad/single fan to cool it. (with maybe a NZXT G10).
Then I think I should have a well cooled and quiet system possibly? (at some point I want a Kingwin LZP-1000 but don't know how to get it in England)
So my question is... which rear fan position is best for the H80 on the GPU? (I've not bought the H80 yet).
Also, any comments or thoughts are greatly appreciated.. First build for 6 years!
