    fans fans fans?

    My new rig...

    ImageImage
    ImageImage

    There is 1 exhaust fan in the top, 1 in the back and 1 on front

    Advice for more locations for fans and arrangement?

    I was thinking another Akasa 120 on the top for extra exhaust - one on the base of the case next to PSU for intake - another one for intake on the side panel.

    What do you guys think?

    Re: fans fans fans?

    I would concentrate on getting air to move front to back because of the CPU cooler. You could add a second fan to the CPU cooler for a push/pull configuration. It will help with moving the air and also with cooling. Make sure the fans are the same though or one will be working harder than the other! Adding a fan on the side panel is a good idea as long as it is intake. It will bring cool air to the GPUs.

    What's the cooler called? I'm not surprised it's cooling efficient given that it's a cooler master, Them and Antec are the two best case makers imo..

    I have that same case and since your only using one 5" bay you could get another fan in the front.

    Almost silent!

    using only 'Akasa Black Apache' + 'Be Quiet Silentwings' fans.

    They are pretty damn epic.

    If you want some good powerful yet silent 120mm fans look into the Kaza Gentle Typhoon D1225C12B5AP-15 fans. 1850 RPM, 28 dBA. They are the new rage with people that are both air and watercooling their rigs for next to 0 noise but being so they are hard to come by. Everyone sells out quick!
