Hi, I plan on custom watercooling my H440 with a Triple fan 360mm radiator, using 3 Corsair SP120 Pwm fans, But i realised that if i have the radiator and fans in the top exhausting i would have more outake than intake (im using stock fans other than corsair SP120's) Wouldnt this cause bad air pressure and how can i fix it?
Should i turn the back case fan around as intake and put a makeshift dust filter on it?
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

(Also i have a 780 Ti outputting alot of heat into my case, later down the line il strap a waterblock to it though.)

If you have any open front/bottom fan slots that is where you should look to increase intake.

you can house 3 intake fans upfront that is your only option since that case is limited.

Yes, 3 intake fans in the front, and from the looks of the spec sheet, they are included, plus the 140mm in the rear

SHould i turn round the 140mm in the back and have it as intake, put a make shift dust filte on it and then i would have positive airflow?

No, just use the three fans in the front for intake.

You want a smooth flowing air path. By reversing the airflow of the rear fan, you will end up having the air from the front and from the rear fan colliding with each other, which will be worse for airflow.

Disregard, or a mod can just delete this.
