excaka Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 i have a 550d corsair case, and iam getting a h100i in the next week. i just bought to af120 fans and put them in the front of the case as intake. now would it be a smart idea to put two af140 fans as intake on the side panel (do 2x140 fit on the side panel?) or should i go with two af120's on the side panel? i was also going to purchase another af140 as exhaust on the top back, and two sp120 on the rad to exhaust out. does that sound like a decent way to keep air flowing thru the case? im not really sure, this is the first time i have really built a computer.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Sounds good to me, although I'd opt for the 140s on the side. Slower rotation, more flow, lower noise level. Positive pressure in the case keeps dust from entering though holes and cracks not sealed and helps the exhaust though the radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excaka Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 what about my side fans? i noticed my two front ones are plugged into a molex from my psu with a little adapter. i ordered this http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31i9tknGeHL.jpg to plug into a molex on my psu, then use the two black ones to plug my 140 fans into. sound right?
