Hello,
I have just built my first pc and everything went surprisingly well, everything working. I have also posted about raid configurations but I now have a questions about the fans in my corsair 780t.
The case came with 3 140mm fans
2 in the front as intake
1 in the rear as exhaust
I then installed the corsair h100i at the top of my case and set the two 120mm fans as intakes (this was recommended by corsair and other articles).
Firstly, I feel I have too many intakes for only one exhaust, I understand this is positive pressure meaning it is bringing in dust but i have read this isn't necessarily a bad thing (corsair has the dust filters).
I therefore have two questions a) should I change the set up? (if so where should I put the fans and how should I set them up, ie intake or exhaust, and what type of fans, ie static pressure or air flow) and b) I would also like to replace all the fans, as they are all just stock fans and are very noisy, could anybody recommend quiet fans with LEDs. I understand that bigger fans are quieter as they don’t have to spin as fast for the same air intake as smaller fans.
Below is the possible locations and size of fans that can fit in their locations:
Front: 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm
Top: 3 x120mm or 2 x 140mm
Bottom: 2 x 120mm (HDD Cage Removed)
Rear: 1 x 120/140mm
Then corsair radiator 2x 1120mm fans as intake, don’t really want to change this as it was recommended.
I really appreciate your time and am grateful for anybody’s help and/or opinions.
Thanks
