So im building this haf x and ive looked around and saw alot of different set ups....im wondering about my "airflow" directions and such and how should i run my fans.


heres a crude drawing of how my first thought is, yes its alot of fans, but honestly, a loud machine doesnt bother me as im hard of hearing anyways.(not deaf but almost)...lol

am i on the right track, still unsure of the "h100i" tho and if i go that route i may not keep the stock 200mm fans on top, i would be better placing the rad up there instead?

i will be overclocking to whatever the 4770k will go stable.

Your setup is rather complex, but really about as good as it gets in terms of proper airflow. in a perfect world you would want to have hot air going out the top, but this would affect cpu temps, but at the same time, the hoses are not really long enough for you to go anywhere else with it.

so i'd say you've done about the best you can in terms of getting the best cpu AND gpu temps
