Hi!
I have a PC (Corsair 200R, MSI Z97 gaming 5, i5-4690k, gigabyte gtx970, 2x 8gb hyperx savage ram and more stuffs), I didn't put together myself, and it only has stock CPU cooler, but the CPU gets quite hot at full loads and also I plan to overclock it, so I need more cooling power.
First I thought about buying CoolerMaster hyper 212 evo, and I read a lot about that it will fit just fine in the 200R.
Second, the 200R comes with 2 preinstalled fans (front and rear), and I think I will buy 3x 140 mm fans in addition, 2 at the top (as outtake fans) and one at the rear, (as intake).
And here come my questions: according to my measurements, the CM 212 will block the upper one of the side places where you can install the side fans, so I need to install the side one at the bottom position.
Also wouldn't this be an overkill? And I have read a lot about negative and positive case pressure, and that negative is good for the performance oriented setups (which I think I have), but isn't this too much? Or (as I think) air fill find its way into the case and will it be no problem?
3rd question: what fans do you recommend? I read that Noctua fans are of high quality but quite expensive as well, so I'm open to pretty much everything.
Should I get a fan controller? Or where should I plug my fans?
I would really appreciate any recommentadions and if somebody happens to have a similar setup, I would be more than happy to recieve some tips or even pictures from them.
Thanks
