Yes, yes I realize that this topic has been brought up so, so many times but sorry.
I just need a simple yes or no.

BTW: I wanted to mention that I'm not using a AIO cooler. I'm using a Noctua NH-U9S cooler.

We can't say yes or no, because we don't know what you have now.

Heat rises so I would have thought having a couple of fans at the top to draw that out quicker might be good.

USAFRet · Aug 27, 2016

TechBloke :

In general, yes.
But randomly adding 2 or 3 big fans on top might change things from positive pressure to negative pressure. Sucking in more dust.

This is why a general idea of the whole system is needed, before a simple yes or no.

Sorry about that...
I have the fans that came with the Corsair Hydro H100i GT.

Leadbelly78 :

That's an AIO cooler.

Ok..Currently I have a Corsair Hydro H100i GT.installed. I'm going to change the CPU cooler too the Noctua NH-U9S.
Sorry, about confessing you. After thinking about it, I started confusing myself.

USAFRet · Aug 27, 2016

OK.
So you're replacing the Corsair AIO with the Noctua?

What other fans are in this?
Where are they?
Which are intake, which are exhaust?

Leadbelly78 · Aug 27, 2016

USAFRet :

I'm still a bit confused about that the best setup for that..I ugg..This is the biggest issue.

EDIT: So you're replacing the Corsair AIO with the Noctua? Yes...

USAFRet · Aug 27, 2016

Leadbelly78 :

In general terms:
In the front/bottom, out the back/top.
Side, intake.

Sorry, I don't have a side intake...=( =(

EDIT: The Case is the Graphite Series 760T

USAFRet · Aug 27, 2016

Let's start over.

What case is this?
What fans do you/will you have?

A complete description is sort of needed, for any recommendation.

Samer1970 · Aug 27, 2016

Dont put near Front upper fan as out-take , it will end up pulling the cold air the near front fan takes in ..

The upper fans should be above the motherboard Area , not near the front (that is 3x120 is a bad Idea) , unless you are using a Radiator OFC ...

you can however install the upper near front fan as intake .

Leadbelly78 · Aug 27, 2016

USAFRet :

Ok...That another problem...Not the Case..selecting the best fans...Next time, I'l mention everything..Sorry about this whole scr*w up.

USAFRet · Aug 27, 2016

Given the whole discussion above, I have no idea of what to suggest except the general fan placement.

In the front and/or bottom
Out the back and/or top.

Leadbelly78 · Aug 27, 2016

Well, Thanks for everything, I'm not being sarcastic, far from.
Thanks again.

Would make a large difference if I added 3 x 120mm Fans or 2 x 140mm on the Top of my Case..
