Arctic F12 fan for Corsair 88R

[usernamed]

Hey!

I would ike to know what's the best place to use the extra Arctic F12 120 mm fan for this case? The 88R comes with one rear 120 mm fan, but as i understand it features places in front and on the ceiling for fans.

Should i just swap the stock fan for F12, or add it as a an extra somewhere? The case will get an R9 390 and i5-6400 with stock cooling.

I answered a post similar to this in here somewhere. The easiest thing in a chassis that can get overheated is the hard drive. Regardless of how you work/position fans, make sure the hard drives are cool. Graphics cards that need them comes with a fan, your processor has the heatsink, and everything else has the ceiling fan. Keep the HDD's cool and you'll be okay.

Thanks for the suggestion! But the system will feature one SSD drive only at the moment, and i've read that SSD-d do not need separate cooling compared to their mechanical HDD-s for example. But i can be wrong.

SSD's keep a lot cooler, yes, because they have no moving parts. If that's the case, I would still have at least one fan aiming that direction and the rest concentrated on the next available device that can possibly overheat (i.e. video/sound cards).
