CPU: I5 4670k
Case: NZXT Phantom 530
Cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 240m
GPU: Sapphire R9 270x
Ram 2 x 4 1866 ripjawx
The 240m Seidon is installed on the top of the case and the 2 x 120m fan are on push config.
so I could still install 2 x 200 mm fans on top, what would be the best fan for a kinda pull config
I am not that sensitive with the noise, I am looking for pure performance.
I am doing something similar in a phantom 820 with an h100i. I don't know if I should have two of the stock 200 mm fans on top of the cooler pulling air out with the corsairs underneath pushing or if I should have the corsairs on top pulling since they are a stronger static pressure fan. If I did use the two 200mm fans on top I would need another to replace the one that I took from the side since it would be on of my two intake fans (one in front and one on the side). I just don't want the 200mm stock case flow fans to get in the way of the two static pressure fans pushing the air out of the case. I know it may seem dumb but it's a nerve wracking decision for me it's my first build and the fans are all that's holding me up.
Somebody told me that it is ok to put a 200 mm fan on top of the radiator because the pull config doesn't need that much static pressure, the one that need high static pressure is the push config fans.
Can anybody confirm this because it is from just one source.
Are you also going to have a 200mm on the side and on the front for intake? Thats what I was going to do along with the two 200mm fans on top and a 140mm fan on the back;. Top and back exhaust, front and side intake. I hope that gives me less intake then exhaust so I have negative pressure because I hear thats the best way to get good ambient temps. It may be positive pressure I dont know. I think Im having information overload at this point. To many you tube tutorials and forum reads.
Phantom 530 has only a 140 mm mount on the side. I am going for
top - 2 x 200 mm fans + 2 x 120 mm fans and 240 mm radiator
back - 1 x 140 mm fan
side - 1 x 140 mm fan
bottom - 2 x 120 mm fan
front - 1 x 200 mm fan
pivot - 1 x 140 mm fan
I really don't know what positive and negative pressure in the case, I gotta research that thanks for the info.
