Title doesn't say much...
I am building my first PC, but the GPU is a little late, so I have some time to plan.
I am using Fractal Design Define R5 which comes with to Dynamic GP 14 and I bought two
Noctua NF-A14. My motherboard has only 4-pin connectors, so I can use PWM
The Noctuas are PWM, but the GP 14s are not.
I have not bought any dustfilters so I only have the ones in front, so I'd prefer front to be intake.
My question is: Should I have the two Noctuas in PWM, or should I run all of them with the build-in fan-controller, or doesn't it matter – it's winter (soon), so it'll stay cool anyway. (Were should I place the questionmark?)
I am planing to upgrade all the fans to Noctua.
If I run just the Noctuas I thought about placing intake in front and exhaust in the side. If all four I planned the Noctuas as intake to keep positive airpressure; one in front, one in top, blowing into cpu cooler (Noctua NH-D14) which again blows to the rear. The GP 14s exhaust through the side and rear.
All answers are apreciated. Tell me which one of the setups I should use or tell me what you would do. Thanks in advance.
P.S: If you feel like it please tell which direction my cpucooler should blow
