Working on a build for air cooling a Hyte Revolt 3. I've got a few Noctua A12x25 120mm fans laying around. Would use 2 for intake on the bracket side I think.

Questions are, could I squeeze two more on the front side between the panel and GPU for intake as well?
Would mounting 1 0r 2 80mms fan up top for exhaust help out all that much?

And any suggestions for a low profile CPU cooler? I don't want to mess with any AIO cooling.
Or would the stock cooler suffice for this build?

Thanks in advance for any advice, linked parts below. Already have the fans, RAM, & SSD

There aren't any fan mounts on the front for GPU fans.

Would mounting 1 or 2 80mms fan up top for exhaust help out all that much?
Although there are seemingly holes/mounts for 2x 80mm fans on the top, only one fits at a time. It's more of a...selectable fan location
The top 80mm fan needs to be 15mm thick. Not the standard 25mm.

Regarding temps, see video below at 18:55


And any suggestions for a low profile CPU cooler? I don't want to mess with any AIO cooling.
Their "140mm CPU cooler clearance" spec seems....questionable. Maybeeee if there weren't any side panel fan(s) installed. I'd recommend building with the stock AMD cooler first and seeing what your actual cooler clearance is to the mounted 120mm side fans. The stock AMD cooler isn't good, so you'll want to replace it.

This would probably work (I own this cooler, it's gloriously large!!):

Alternatives: (fan can be moved underneath)

PSU?
The 80mm fan needs to be "slim" (15mm thick)

I was thinking I might be able to get some magnets to front mount some slim fans

I saw a "mod" somewhere with how you can squeeze in 2 slim 80 fans up top using 2 screws on each. And them being that small it shouldn't be an issues with mounting


And I will definitely look into the CPU cooler, could be what I'm looking for.

Would it benefit any to go from these 120mm Noctua to something like the Arctic Bionix P140 mm fans?
I use these in my current build and love them. Just not sure if spending another $20-$30 would be worth it since I already have these Noctua fans

Case comes a 700 watt Gold rated PSU. It's currently on sale, that's why the price looks like the standard option without the PSU.
And yeah, just noticed I put the wrong 80mm fan on there. Mis click on my part.
