Hey everyone,
I'm starting my build and had a few questions about how to orient my fans in my Define R5.
The R5 which comes with two 140mm Fractal Design case fans. newegg link
I also bought two 140mm Fractal Design high flow fans. newegg link
My plan using 4 fans:
1 high flow fan @ front intake
1 case fan @ front intake
1 case fan @ bottom intake
1 high flow fan @ rear exhaust
The top is staying closed. I have an air cooler for my CPU, plus one optical and one HDD. Light overclocking.
Thoughts? Will I get enough exhaust with 3 intakes/too much positive pressure (that's why I plan on one of the high flow fans as the exhaust)? Is four fans overkill (wouldn't be running at full speed, I presume)?
Thanks for the help!
