Dear reader,

I've a corsair 300r. I recently became a coolingenthousaist/amateur. I've spend some money on fans. Trail and erroring, etc. But now it's time to get real. I've the following fans:


Intake:

Front: 54 + 87 (Corsair case stockfan + Bitfenix spectre pro) all 140mm. Costs 17 euro.
Side: 66 + 35 (Corsair quiet edition + Recom 140mm) Recom was cheap at local store and wanted to try some airflow) 140mm and 120mm. Costs 21 + 11 euro.
-----------
242 cfm
spend: 47 euro.


Outtake:

Rear: 33 (Corsair case stockfan 120mm)
Top: 40 + 40 (2 recom 140mm) costs: 22 euro.
------------
113 cfm
spend: 22 euro.

247 - 113 = Positive pressure of 129 cfm.
spend total: 69 euro

I also have a MSI r9 290 installed + a Evo 212 cpu cooler. and a NXTZ fancontroller. 40 - 100% range.


Conclusion:

- I assume my setup is good. Front + side intake, rear and top exhaust.
- Need to replace the cheap recom and the stockfans.
- I am leaning towards the corsair quiet edition, because it's a corsair case.
- Means 6 corsairfans + bitfenix or 7 corsair fans.
- I am a bit impulsive sometimes.. recom fans etc. but I am willing to pat for my fans. Just one or 2 per month.
- Need positive pressure, because I live with 2 cats.

What is your guys opinion? should I stick with this setup or replace all? My temps are always under the 55/60, except for my gpu which topped 69.

If you need any information, please let me know. Thank you for reading.

Kind regards,

RinusCooling

I suppose as an enthusiast you don't want me to say that the temps look fine. :3 But the only other thing is how noisy do you want to go? Certainly I think it could get better but it might be loud...
