Hello All,
Just picked up an NZXT H440 to try out and do a build in. I am moving from an NZXT Phantom 630 right now, for no particular reason other than to try building in another case and because I want to give mid towers a shot with my components. With that said, I am looking at this case determining the best way to setup my cooling and such. As many know, the H440 has a bit of a restrictive cooling effect, but I think its only a few degrees (we will see when I get building) In any event, I was thinking of putting an H100i in push/pull in the very front of the case. What are thoughts about this? My other thought, was to drop out of Push/Pull and just run pull, but put the rad in the top of the case and populate the front with three (3) 120mm fans as intakes. I would then run a 140mm on the back as an exhaust and obviously the rad in pull would be exhausting as well. All of the fans will be either Noctua NF-F12's (120mm) or NF-A14 (140mm) utilizing low voltage adapters. The rig has two (2) GTX 670 FTW edition graphics cards in SLI. The i7 3770k is currently clocked at 4.7 gHz. There will also be two spin drives in the drive caddy's and an SSD on the lower mounts.
What are the thoughts on this?
Thanks
