Hi Guys,
Just want some advice.
I'm upgrading by system case to a Ncase M1 and a i7 4790K. My current system is running a Xeon E1231v3 with a Silverstone SST-AR06 Argon CPU cooler.
I don't think I will be overclocking for at least a year so I would rather stick to air cooling as I can recycle the CPU cooler. I would rather spend the extra £100 plus I would save (if i used air cooling) towards a GPU (1070).
Plus the only real 240 rads that a good enough (my opinion) are the EK Preditor or CM Masterliquid. both of which don't fit (EK too wider and thick. CM pump might to too large at 60mm).
I also want to keep my rig as quite as possible.
So my questions are -
Which 120mm fans do I get?
I was leaning towards the 2x be quite! Shadow wings PWM - or - 2x Vardar F2-120 Fans by EK (I think these are also PWM). The EK's get good reviews and are almost silent despite the 25db rating (or so the reviews say). Plus i can use the EK's on a watercooler in the future.
Positive (blowing in) or negative air pressure (blowing out)?
I was thinking positive, but it might interfere with the CPU fan air flow.
In all i want to keep the additional fan cost to £40 max.
Your feedback is much appreciated.
