Hi,

I am vamping up my case cooling and came up with this so far:

Can anyone recommend a better exhaust fan in back? My understanding is that the one I wrote down in the picture is more made for pushing air through a radiator, like it is used on top of the case.

I haven't bought any of the parts in green or red yet, so feel free to give me your opinions on those as well. Exception: The 200mm intake fan is on there and can't be reversed.

Plan: The two 140mm fans at the top are meant to push cool air over the CPU radiator, as suggested by Corsair for max cooling. The exhaust in back then takes that hot air and sucks it out. The intake in front pushes cool air over the HDDs and to the GPU, which has the exhaust in back. This setup will create positive pressure in the case, but I believe that any positive/negative pressure will be minimal due to the passive open grate and PCI openings in the back of the case.

Thanks!

Corsair is just popular and there is a chance they will replace damaged parts if the cooler leaks (but thta is rare that they leak). The x41 is not better than the H110, its just an idea for you.

The reason why the h100i is popular in particular, is due to people being...


That is a 120mm radiator that is slightly thicker than others. If you wanted push pull on the x41 140mm cooler, that would be logical because it is similar to the h80i in terms of it having a thickness boost. Push pull on dual 120 or 140mm aio rads is where it becomes illogical. Another cpu cooler you may like is the swiftech h240x. It's a dual 140mm rad with better parts and fans than the h110, and can be expanded to add more rads or a GPU.
