Hi,

I am about to do a couple of upgrades to my current rig and had a few questions regarding overclocking and cooling.

I have a Zalman Z9 Neo case, a MSI Z97 PC Mate motherboard and going to get an i7 4770K CPU to replace my i5 4790, plus buy 3 x Thermaltake Riing 14 RGB fans. The case has room for the following fans: Front 2 x 140 or 2 x 120, Rear 1 x 120, Top 2 x 140 or 2 x 120 fans.

Therefore I was wondering:

1. Will I be able to get a decent overclock with my mobo?
2. Will the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L RGB AIO CPU Cooler be good enough to cool my CPU when I overclock?
3. Should I put the radiator on the top and the 3 x 140mm fans at rear and front?
4. Should I put the front 2 fans as intake or exhaust?
5. Should I put the 1 rear fan as intake or exhaust?
6. Am I right in assuming the radiator fans will be exhaust?
7. Can I attach the thermaltake fans to the RGB hub then attach that to my Phanteks fan controller, which will then attach to the system header fan slot on my mobo?

Thanks
 
More than likely the reason no one has answered your post yet is the lack of self researching on your part to know and understand the best way to arrange your setup. You have so many resources available to you on the internet to have these questions answered from your own diligence to find the answers. I suggest you use them, you can start with Google.
