First off, I'm not sure whether this is the right place to post. There is a main section for cooling, but no option to post in a "Cooling" section on forums.
Anyways, I'm looking for some new case fans and I want a good balance between looks, performance and noise. The new ML-series from Corsair look absolutely stunning and have high CFM. I'm planning on getting a two-pack of 120mm fans and a single 140mm fan. However, I'm not really sure how much noise they'll produce. So one of my questions are, how much noise will they produce in comparison to other alternatives, like, let's say, the ML120 vs Noctua NF-S12A?
Also, I'm running a Corsair H60 "water cooling" setup, and I'm a bit stuck on how I'll be positioning the fans. I've looked around a bit on the web and I've found that I should place one behind the radiator (120mm), one in the front (120mm), and one in the top (140mm). The front fan should be intake, and the top should be exhaust. However, I'm a bit unsure whether I should have the fan behind the radiator be intake or exhaust. If I go with intake I'll get better cooling performance on the CPU, but if I go with exhaust, I'll get negative pressure inside the case which is supposedly preferred. Which setup would be preferred? Are there other pros/cons to the setups?
