Hello guys,
I've got a Fractal Design Node 605 here with the following components:
- i3570k
- Noctua NH-U9B SE2
- Gigabyte Z77U-DH3
- Gigabyte 1060GTX G1 (I know for cooling a blower would have been better but I want it silent)
- Asus Xonar D1
- 4x4GB G.Skill Ares DDR3
- 1 SATA SSD Samsung EVO 850 500GB
- 1 SATA 3.5 inch WD Red 2TB
Now my question is about the Air flow as I would like to have the system as quiet as possible.
The case offers space for:
- 3x 120mm fan
- 2x 80mm fan
I have Noctuas for those sizes available, the only question is: which ones for intake and which ones as exhausts?
I know I should aim for pressure in the case but 3 big intakes and 2 smaller exhausts sound a bit like the 80mms would go bonkers (but I really don't know).
How about this that I found (courtesy of OlleTheGreat at Sweclockers.net) (I obviously don't have the two blowers like in the image but one aftermarket GPU cooler/non-blower):
What would you guys recommend?
Looking forward to your answers!
