Hello,

I will be ordering the following case, Cooltek Coolcube ITX case --> http://www.cooltek.de/en/cubes/coolcube/2/coolcube

Inside I will put a h110m asrock motherboard, i3 6100 and a be quiet system power 8 500w PSU and ofc ssd & hdd. There is a chance a mini gtx 1050ti zotac will find its place in the case later on.

I want to maximize airflow / help cool everything as much as possible (as there is little space between each component and as such there will be more heat generated).

The case has a perforated side panel and optional 4x 40 mm rear fan mount.

I was planning on purchasing the optional 4 fans and installing them. So my question is if I should mount them at all and if yes, how?
They can only be installed in a vertical row.

Thoughts, expert advice, etc.... is welcomed and much appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)

PS I'm ordering tomorrow (Tuesday, 25.10.2016) so please be quick and precise

Four 40mm fans? I'd steer well clear of a case that can't fit fans larger than 92mm.

A 40mm fan has to spin quite fast to move a subpar volume of air. Four of them is going to be to the power of 4 louder than a single 40mm fan. A 40mm fan also is going to have nil for static pressure, which means air won't be moving properly through your enclosure either way.

I highly suggest you find a better, more well thought out case, or jury rig some proper cooling into it. As it stands, you'll probably be stuck with a very hot, very loud system that runs very poorly, with or without those four dinky fans.

I really like the case and I don't think that the i3 6100 will heat it up that much. all builds that I could find had the PSU fan facing inwards (facing the processor). I can cancel the order on the fans, if they will really be louder than useful...
