So I have an NZXT H440 case and I'm not sure if the airflow is good enough for a ACX cooler. So should I go for the blower design or the ACX design. I have a H110 radiator mounted on the top of the case along with three stock fans in the front and one in the back. ( all 120mm) I'm also concerned with sound. If I'm only gonna get a few degrees cooler for a lot more sound I would like to know. Please leave you answers with reasons why and I'll pick the best answer really fast.

Thanks!

The only benefit to the blowers is direct venting, which is good in low airflow SLI builds.
In a larger case, or one with a single card, the ACX or similar design will run cooler, and quieter.

But will I have a problem with getting the heat it lets into the case, out of the case?

There wont be much of an issue. Even a single 120mm fan can handle the heat, you should be good to go even with the stock ones.

just get some high cfm fans and increase the air flow without much more sound.
