Hi .. I own a Phantom 410 case and now is the time to plan the ventilation inside it..
So, I will be watercooling my cpu and two gpu's through a big external rad, and will be overclocking..
and since my rig is based on silence I would go with just a few fans if possible. Let me add, inside the case the walls will be dampened, so the majority of the aeration holes will be covered. All fans will be PWM fans and controlled by the board.
So here is the first thought :
-front : 1x 120/140mm-fan ( front can have 1x 120/140 or 2x 120 ) ...my tube reservoir will stand in front of it ! ..not the best idea, I know, but I can't do much about that.... maybe that will help to keep the water cool x)
-side : 1x 120/140 ( static pressure would matter here ? ) to blow onto the gpu's
-top : 2x 140 expelling air out ( top can have 1x 120/140 or 2x 120/140 )
-rear and floor : none ( both can have 1x 120 )
Maybe go for only one 140 at the top and add a 120 at the rear ?..
Oh and would it be better for the psu to sit upside down ? I don't even know if the thing expels air out or suck it in.. ( a Super Flower Leadex psu )
Would be happy to hear what you would advise me, thanks !
