Hello,

I’m going to be building a proper gaming PC soon, and was wondering how I should set up my fans for optimal airflow. The case I will be using is the NZXT S340 Elite, with three 140mm fans (one top, two front) and one 120mm fan in the back. I also plan on using the NZXT Kraken X62 for CPU cooling. Should I stick with the “front for intake, back for outtake” system, or do something else because of this case’s weird front panel that seems like it would limit air intake?
 
More than likely you will set up your NZXT Kraken X62 as an exhaust so your airflow will go to negative pressure inside the case. Somewhat restricted flow to front fans worsens situation somewhat. Is there a place for another fan at bottom front of the case ?
