Alright, so ive always been more of a software guy but I built my system a few years ago, and changed parts in and out through the years. One thing I have never focused on is cooling, and I am putting together what I think should be the ultimate cooling setup with air.
My current case is...
http://www.apevia.com/ProductsInfo.asp?KEY=X-CRUISER-BK#
Right now I just have the 2 default 80mm fans in it (the one on top and in the back). They are the ones that come with the case, and they push about 25CFM which seems to be very little.
The plan is to do...
1) 2 80mm fans in the front to serve as an intake. (In the space that is setup for them but doesnt come with fans there)
2) 1 80mm fan on the top as an exhaust.
3) 1 120mm fan in the rear as an exhaust.
I found these fans on newegg, they are the ones I found that push the absolute highest CFM.
120mm fan
80mm fans
So with that setup, I would have 2 80mm intake fans at 85CFM each, 1 80mm exhaust fan at 85CFM, and 1 120mm exhaust fan at 190CFM.
In addition to that I have had a pci slot fan in my case for ages. Right now I have it under my video card blowing upwards on to the card, but I cant decide if I should just get rid of it with this setup, or if I could possibly use it to compliment the setup.
Also, the plastic window panel on the side of the case comes with a air duct on it from the factory. I replaced the air duct with one of the crappy little stock fans, but im assuming putting the air duct back on it with those monster fans would be best.
Anyways, thanks for any input you guys can give me. I am aware its going to sound like a jet engine and I have no problem with that, I just want extremely good air cooling.
