Hi guys,
I recently started my new PC build. I have everything in place except the GPU (I'm using my old GTX 780 until the 1080ti comes out) and had a quick question about cooling. I have removed the optical bays and all of the HDD trays except for the very top one. Currently I have 3 front mounted intake fans (Noctua NF-a14 ppc-2000), 2 of which are mounted to the radiator of my H115i. I have 3 top mounted exhaust fans (be quiet silent wings 3 which were included with the case) and one rear exhaust fan (also NF-a14 ppc-2000). Are these too many fans and do you guys think this would cause more turbulent airflow within the case? Currently my CPU temps are about 26-29C idle and under aida64 load (2+ hours), the cores of my CPU range from 55-63C. All of the fans are MoBo controlled through various PWM extensions. My other question is that currently I have the 2 radiator fans mounted on the outside of the radiator (fans sit in front of the radiator, immediately behind the front filter. Is this OK or should the fans be mounted behind the radiator with the radiator immediately behind the front filter? Thanks in advance for any help!
My build:

I have the CPU OC'ed to 4.6 at 1.31V
I plan on getting the predator x34 3440x1440 monitor once I get the 1080ti
