Hi all, I have a HAF 912 with an i7-2600k (currently not OC'd) running on a CM and no current GPU (I'm debating between a 7850 and the nvidia equivalent whenever it releases).
This is my current layout:
Top (exhaust) - CM Megaflow 200m
Side (intake) - Cooler Master 120mm Case Fan - (R4-C2R-20AC-GP) [this is the loudest thing in my case for some reason!)
Front (intake (I think, I mean, it has to be, right?)) - Preinstalled HAF 912 case fan
Back (exhaust, right?) - Presintalled HAF 912 case fan
I have one fan coming in, it's a Artic Cooling ARCTIC F12 Computer Case Cooling AFACO-12000-GBA01 and I think it will fit in the front.
I do not have a optical drive or a HDD, so that area of my case is completely open. I should be able to fit a fan there, right? I was reading the manual from the HAF 912 and it seems that I can have two fans in the front. Also, how do I measure temperatures in the case? Do I need to buy something?
Now, my question is: how do I install the front case fan (exhast or intake) and would having the mobo and all the pieces currently installed pose a problem for me to insert the front fan?
I reviewed http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cooling-airflow-heatsink,3053-5.html and it seems as if so far that third picture most accurately represents my build, save for the side fan that I have installed and the new second fan that i'll have in the front.
