I will be doing a PC build next month. The last time I built my comp was 10 years ago and there were no heating problems back then compared to now.
Current PC i7-4790K @ 4 Ghz. GTX 650 Ti Boost. Samsung 940 SSD.
Will upgrade to 7800x3d. Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 4070 Ti. Samsung 990 Pro. Phantom Spirit cooler. I know the improvement will be mind blowing.
Not looking for advice on changing any of the components.
From what I have read you want positive airflow but keep it as close to neutral as possible. Will not be using AIO.
The H7 Flow supports ...
Top 3 120 or 2 140
Front 3 140 or 3 120
Rear 1 120 or 140
The new mobo has 5 PWM headers so I hope I will not need more than 5 fans.
I will be using Noctua NF-A14 chromax.Black.swap fans and removing the 2 NZXT stock fans.
How about 2 140 in front and one 140 in rear for exhaust. One Noctua NF-A12x25 exhaust at top.
This should give me only a small positive airflow. The question is will this be sufficient, insufficient or overkill?
It is true I may need to make adjustments but for now I'm looking for input for a good starting point.
