I really need help with fan & CPU liquid cooler placement within my H440 Case.
Here are the case's cooling specs:
Front: 2x 140/3x120mm
Top: 2x 140/3x120mm
Rear: 1x 140/120mm
The Kraken X61 CPU closed loop liquid cooler uses 2 x 140mm fans.
I'm not sure which of the following options to choose:
[Option 1] 3 x Corsair 120mm Fans in Front, 2 x 140 slot up top used by the Kraken X61 closed radiator (will replace these stock 140's with the Corsair AF 140's from my PCPartPicker), and finally 1 x 140 rear Corsair AF 140 fan.
[Option 2] 4 x 140mm fans in front (push pull with the Kraken radiator -- all 4 fans Corsair AF140's), 2 x 140mm AF140 up top, 1 x 140mm AF140 rear.
[Option 3] Your best solution.
I plan to SLI the GTX 780 Ti in 3-4 months so cooling is a big problem im worried about and would rather get it all settled now rather than scramble later on.
All the corsair fans I will be using are the Quiet Edition ones.
Looking forward to your feedback.
