Hi guys,

I'm close to beginning building my PC (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cqnT23) in a Corsair Air 540, but don't know how to set up my fans...

I will be overclocking, and I have all the fans that could be put in the case. What would be the optimal way to set up the fans? I know that my water cooling radiator should be intake (I'm doing push/pull as well), but how should the other fans go? How many fans for exhaust?


Thanks,
Jules_GB

I'm just using one cpu air fan with no case fans. My i5-4690k is overclocked to 4.4 and I'm getting about 80C on prime95. IMO, you only need 2-3 case fans max. More case fans = more noise.

Normally air comes in from the front and goes out from the top and back.

I know, but I have already bought the fans, and want to make good use of them...

Despite their unnecessary use, what would the optimal way to set them up be?
