I need a silent system with overclocked 6950x.
So I've read some forums and there is what i guess to buy.

2x (Noctua NF-A14 industrial PPC-3000 PWM) for kraken x61 radiator

3x (Noctua NF-S12A 120mm PWM) on front of the h440 to blow in

What fan I need for blowing out at the back side of case?
Will 2x 120mm fans be better for radiator?
Is what I choose the good option?
Between corsair fans and noctua's, what is your preference for silent system.

Thank you, guys!

Since you're looking at an AIO cooler, you might want to see if you can pick up Swiftech Helix PWM fans which are good both as a radiator fan and as a case fan.

The same fan in a lot of ways like the Noctua but if you can dial them down with a custom fan curve they will easily beat the Noctua's PPC's sock off ;) Mind you are you planning to run all the fans off the fan hub in the H440 or divide the fans for the AIO with the daisy chain and have the case fans run off the...
