Has anyone been able to fit two 200mm fans in the front of a corsair 780t?

I am wondering if i could fit two 200mm fans in the front of my case as the space seems to be pretty tight, i have no problems removing the Hard Drive cages and the optical drive bays at the top of the case as long as it is all material that can be either removed stock or modded and removed without too much damage caused to the case. I am looking at making my computer near silent so if i cannot get the 200mm fans i will go noctua and aim for near silent case fans.

Thanks for the input in advance!

The build is here, i really should add the build to either a thread and link it in the description or add it into my signature which i am not even sure how to do :p

Intel i5-6400
Gskill Ripjaws 16GB DDR4 2400MHZ
GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0
EVGA 750W Supernova
Gigabyte Z170 DH3P
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200 RPM HDD
ADATA Premier 240GB 6GB/s SSD
5 Deepcool TF120 Red's
Corsair H110I GTX
Corsair 780T Case
Corsair K70 Red Keyboard
Roccat Kone XTD Optical
Optical Drive
And a lot of issues running games without stuttering :p

I really don't feel that adding the second 200mm fan in the front will give you much on an effect on temperatures when you already have as many fans as you do, as you have a lot of CFM going in and out of the case already. As for the stuttering, I can't think of a good cause of it, assuming that nothing like the CPU is getting too hot due to improper application of the thermal paste/ CPU cooler not working properly. If you want a silent PC you should also replace the Corsair H110 GTX as it is much noisier than say a noctua NH-D15 which performs as well and is 30dB at full load vs 50dB for the H110 GTX

As for the 200mm fans i was more thinking that i would like to have two, not that i need to have 2, also i dont have a fan controller only the one on the case and it is not able to make the TF120's run quiet enough for my liking so that is a not go for those fans except for the three fans that i can have on the mobo. The stuttering is an issue that i have had a couple of threads working on the last was the most fruitful and it fixed minecraft but the stuttering in COD is still unknown, I know that the stuttering in COD was completely gone when i had my i5-6400 overclocked to 4.4GHZ, and that was cooled by a hyper 212 evo lol. The cooler i am heavily considering the NHD-15 as i cannot agree with you more that the H110I GTX is loud, mainly the pump as the fans i have dialed all of the way down, i was thinking at the time that i was going to need the headroom that the CLC gives me for overclocking my next CPU which will likely be the next upgrade that i get. Thanks for your input!
