Hey everyone. Finally got all my pc parts after a couple weeks of research and a lot of help from this site. Im jumping into the build now and am wondering when should I install the case fans, at the start or the end? Ive got a thermaltake view 71 casr and have 10 x riing 12 rgb fans.

That would depend on if the fans would block off access to other parts of the case like the motherboard's (4/8/2x8pin)EPS connections. If not then you can install the fans first after tearing the case panels first.
Might I ask what your build constitutes of? Watercooling within the build would need a specific order, mind you.

Thanks for the reply. That diagram actually came in handy. I stripped the case bare to familiarise myself with it before I get to building. I'm not doing a water cooling setup. I will in the future but just got the fans for now. How can I find out if the fans would block of any of the connections? Is it more of a you can tell with experience or is there a way I can find out for certain?

You bought a case that will take 5 x 140mm fans & already comes with 3 rgb ones prefitted.
You then bought another 10 x 120mm fans too ??
Where are you planning on fitting them all exactly ?
Even if you were adding a radiator with push/pull the most you could physically use is 4.

I actually ended up getting the blue version of the case because i didnt want to use 140mm fans. The fans that come standard with the view 71 are the older riing fans that cant be run by software and has a different sticker in the middle compared to the premium pluses so I didnt want to use them. Im having 3 front and 2 bottom intake and 3 top 1 back exhaust. Thats 9. But worked out cheaper getting 10 in a double 5 pack. Im pretty much set for when I get the watercooling system setup to, so I dont think I over did it with the fans. But thanks for your opinion anyways.
