I have the cool master nepton 280l would it be an upgrade over the jet flows fan that come with it? Phatens i have never were heared of them to much they better then corsaie

And also inam going to bebpush/pulling is it better to match the fans or have ap on the bottom and air flow up top

Define better .... do you mean quieter or better thermal performance ?

Problem is radiator performance is proportional to fan speed.... pretty much if you are going to reduce fan speed, you reduce thermal performance.

Biggest mistake people make with these CLCs is they install them upside down. Yes, we all learned in 8th grade earth science that "hot air rises" .... but not in the presence of a fan. Ever sit under a ceiling fan ?

Make sure that all your radiator fans are sucking in outside the case air and blowing in ..... not only will the cooler air cool better, you will improve overall case air flow which, with top fans blowing out:

1. You are likely sucking air and dust in the the rear grille.

2. Along with the dust, you are likely sucking in exhaust from your GFX card(s)

Adding a 2nd set of fans in push / pull will improve performance by 10 - 30%.

Phanteks took the CPU cooling market by storm with the PH-TC14-PE air cooler which beats most 2400mm CLCs. Their 1st case (Enthoo Primo) won case of the year in 2013 at Computex and their 2nd case (Enthoo Pro) took the award in 2014.

The success of both is due in large part to the fans.

Well i have 3 intakes and a 280l on top of the case and rear is 140mm going out

 

[Soul slayero]

I was looking at the luxe case as my h440 air flow is very bad and makes my cpu and gou run very hot 68c and 82c vs 46c and 75 c with the panels ofd

 

[Soul slayero]

So. I should go with Phanteks F-140SP fans for my aio 280m water cooler i an thinking of getibg the lixe case but not sure if it will be an upgrade ffon my h440

 

[JackNaylorPE]

I would highly recommend the Luxe over the H440 if you didn't have the H440 already. More room, better cable management, better cooling. However, tossing the H440 after you already have it is harder to justify. Can really see the advantages here:

As for the 280L, it has 2000 rpm fans.... so if you switch off to 1250 rpm fans, you re looking at a significant drop off in performance. CLCs depend on high rpm fans in order to be able to compete with the better air coolers. So, a quieter rig is going to come at a price.

I'd move up to a 140MP if ya don't wanna take that hit on performance

The fans are dead silent < 900 rpm.
