Hi,
I have the Fractal Define R4 case with two 140mm fans (front and back).
// I am not interested in water cooling. //
I also have two Artic Cooling 8025L (80mm), rubber screw and a Thermaltake's XController.
Artic Cooling 8025L datasheet:
Dimensions: 80 x 80 x 25mm
Rated Fan Speed: 1500 RPM
Air Flow: 18.0 CFM / 30.5 m3/h
Noise Level: 18.0 dB(A), 0.25 Sone
Power Consumption: 12 V, 0.12 Amp.
Weight: 74 g
Bearing: Fluid Dynamic Bearing
1) If I add the 80mm fans, will I notice improvement? Or should I go with 140mm on top of the case (exhaust)?
2) How should I place the fans?
- Two over the CPU (exhaust)?
- One over the CPU (exhaust) and one under the frontal 140mm?
- One over the CPU (exhaust) and one on the bottom (intake)?
Last option should looks like this: Image
Thank you
