Hello all,
I recently purchased a Cooler Master HAF XB case for a build and I'm getting excited about building this thing. I've done a lot of research as far as the components that I want, but I'm still having trouble with one thing...
Should I use a 200mm fan on the top for exhaust, and a CPU cooler like the Thermalright Macho 120 / True Spirit 120, or should I just get a larger CPU cooler, and leave the top panel fanless?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Depending on the rest of the build, you probably dont need the 200mm top fan. You definitely want to get the two optinal 80mm rear fans for the bottom rear as well as the 120 for the top rear imo.

Cool, thank you. I guess that brings me to my other question. Should the 80mm fans be intake or exhaust? Would it be possible (and beneficial) to have the one closest to the side panel set up for intake, and the other one set for exhaust?
