h440 crossfire/sli airflow?
Hello, plan to use the H440 with crossfire Sapphire Radeon R9 290X 4GB Tri-X...worry about the airflow...a h105/x61 as exhaust for the CPU at the top and what front intake fans you guys recommend?NF-F12? Going to do some OC also.

Better than those listed?

The Corsair SP120 High Performance are literally the best.

Or you can go delta if you're insane <.<

The 3000 RPM version has a rated static pressure of 7.63 mm/H2O.
The two 2000 RPM versions have a rated static pressure of 3.94 mm/H20

For comparison, the SP120 HPE is rated at 3.1 mm/H2O and the NF-F12 is 2.61 mm/H2O.

For Noctuas, these are going to be a lot louder - the 2K version is rated at 29.7 dbA at max, and the 3K is 43.5 dbA.

Is there any other static pressure fan that's better than those listed? Since I am going to need them for intake and the h105. Good idea to use static pressure fans for intake on h440? Since it don't have that big of opening for vents.

Corsair SP120 High Performance. They kick the F12's ass in airflow.

If you want silence, then go F12's or SP120 Quiet Edition.

NF-F12s will work great. There are other options that are cheaper, but IMO the Noctuas are worth the extra $.
