Hello
I finalized my build and last thing I need is to decide on my fan setup. I once befored discussed this but my build at that time was different. My goal is for quiet and cool (as temperature) setup.
Originally I was thinking about going with 6 chassis fans, but that was when I was planning to OC i7-4770k to like 4.5Ghz if possible. Now I switched to i7-4771.
I got 3 question related to cpu fan, chassis fans and psu positioning, but first my build:
Case Corsair C70 vengeance
Mobo Asus Z87-Sabertooth (may not be needed now when I do not want to OC, but I like though look and durability it should have)
CPU i7-4771
cpu cooler noctua nh-u14s
gpu Sapphire R9-290x Vapor-X (when it get on shelves, or maybe non X version)
psu Seasonic X 850W
CPU cooler
For OC i was planning to use nh-u14s with extra NF-A15 fan, but now I removed that extra fan from setup. I believe NH-u14s should abe able to cool i-7-4771 with ease or is there any problem?
Chassis fans
I would like to replace stock fans from case as I read those are little on louder side and use combination of PWM controlled Noctua fans.
My initial setup was with 6 fans
1x NF-S12A rear exhaust (1 pwm header)
2x NF-F12 front intake (between front panel and hdd bays with top bay removed) (1 pwm header)
2x NF-A14 top exhaust (1 pwm header)
1x NF-A14 side intake (1 pwm header)
but I'm not sure if it's not a little overkill and I'm thinking about more basic setup without NF-A14
like this
So basic setup (replacement of stock fans):
1 x NF-S12A rear exhaust
2x NF-S12A front intake (replacing stock fans on hdd bay from inside, with top hdd bay removed)
Will this provide enough cooling for case? Or should i keep some of NF-A14 or all of them? Wont my setup be too loud with 6 fans even when noctua should be one of those silent fans?
PSU position
My future case got perforated bottom of case so question is should i turn PSU to have it take air from outside of case facing to bottom of case or let it take air from inside of case?
Thank you in advance for all answers.
