I apologize for my dumb question, but I’m planning a build that limits my cooling from the front to the back. I am planning on using a Phobya 480/560 radiator on the front with four (or eight) 140mm fans. I have room for two 140mm fans at the rear of the case. Every build I see has simple exhaust fans at the rear, however, I want to maximize my cooling so I was wondering if I could add a second slim/high flow radiator to one or both rear fans? I know the radiator will slow the airflow, but would it not also vent the case somewhat? It would also be first in the loop to exhaust the hottest air through the rear radiator first before the larger front radiator would cool it further with fresh cooler air. Can I add a radiator on the exhaust, or is it necessary/best to stick with simple case fans on the exhaust? I’m leaning towards a single slim 140mm radiator in a push configuration plus a 140mm case fan beside it at the rear. If it would work though, a slim 140x2 (280) radiator would look more balanced and add more surface area, but I’m thinking it may not exhaust the case very well even with a push/pull. I’m willing to do push/pull on both rads, but that would mean 12 fans! I welcome all input gratefully!
