Will be running 2-way SLI 980 TI on a MSI Z170A Gaming M5 mobo with Skylake I7 6700k in the H440 case, links below to manufacturer's pages for reference if needed.
Mobo: http://us.msi.com/product/motherboard/Z170A-GAMING-M5.html
GPU: http://us.msi.com/product/graphics-card/GTX-980Ti-GAMING-6G.html#hero-overview
CPU: http://ark.intel.com/m/products/88195/Intel-Core-i7-6700K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_20-GHz#@product/specifications
Case: https://store.nzxt.com/products/h440-mid-tower-case-black-red
So yeah, I wanted the quiet, color and shroud, but with my hardware I'm worried about it being a hot box. After reading http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2137246/airflow-nzxt-h440.html I decided on 3 http://noctua.at/en/products/fan/nf-f12-pwm.html as intake, and 3 http://noctua.at/en/catalog/product/view/id/92/s/nf-a14-industrialppc-2000/category/14/ as exhaust. One 140 obviously goes on the back, and two on the Kraken X61 in push to blow out of the case. Also, black was chosen for the NF-A14's because I'lll be able to see them from the window, and I put aesthetic over the price difference(red/black theme). I can live with the brown vibration dampeners.
Opinions if this is sufficient? Also, tips to route all the pwm fans to my mobo and a good fan controller software are welcome.
Sorry for the link heaviness, I like to be thorough. Thanks In advance!
