[SOLVED] Phanteks P400S Fan Config.

[ironcreeper2004]

Hi, so my build has been running extremely cool ever since I built it but seeing other fan configs I was wondering if mine could do with adjusting to maximise airflow.

My current specs are:

I7-7700K
Strix GTX 1080
X62 Liquid Cooler
Z270-A Mobo
16GB 3200mhz
3xLL120 Fans

Currently, I have my AIO Radiator mounted at the front with two 120mm fans, two Corsair LL120 Fans at the top with the one further back as an exhaust and the one closer as an intake and the one LL120 at the back as an exhaust. I have a feeling making the two at the top exhaust would be better as currently they're cancelling each other out?

I've seen a few threads with similar queries but answers differ between build specs and how many fans you have.

Thanks for any help.

Here's how it should be, IMHO, top and rear = Exhaust, front and bottom = Intake.

You could remove the forward most top mounted fan and see if the temps change +ve or -ve to what you're getting now. You could also remove both top fans and see if that changes anything. Front fans are in intake, correct?

Yep front fans are intake. I've made both top fans exhaust as well as the back now so I'm going to see how that goes. Appreciate the help, I might try removing some fans later, once I've seen how this config goes.

a considerable upgrade for you would be too try and nab a mesh front panel from a p400a.
