Hey guys, I'm almost done! Woot!
I just have a question or two for my fan setup.
I have an idea on what to do and what to do it with, but I'm wondering on just which fans should go where. CFM wise anyway. I plan on the side and front fan being an intake, with the back and two on top being exhaust. The fan controller that came with my PSU can take on three fans, which will all be CM Excalibur fans. But should they all be exhaust fans or should at least one be an intake to help adjust intake volume if I need to crank up the exhaust? Perhaps the opposite, with two being the intake fans and a controlled exhaust for the same reason?
As for the other two, being uncontrolled, I was going to go with the set speed CM Turbine Master models. However I don't know if I should get both as either the Mach 0.8/1.8 models, or one of each, as well as where to set them.
I had figured on setting a Mach 1.8 in the front, a 0.8 in the side, with the Excalibur fans on top/back.
I would have (and still may, if I can finagle it) put a fan as intake on the bottom, however my PSU covers the vent just enough to block the rear mounting holes.
Would the above idea be suitable?
As far as whats inside:
Motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE
Video: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB x2
PSU: Cooler Master 1050 Silent Pro Hybrid
