Phantom 820 With Kraken X61 Question

[Space Marine]

Hey guys, so this is my question. Currently I have my Kraken x61 radiator mounted to the top of my case as well as the 2 140mm fans. Right above this, I have a single 200mm fan. My question is this: What will this affect, if anything? I am debating installing another 200mm fan right above the radiator as well (seeing how its the only place it would fit). I dont know if this would affect much at all, but was wondering if anyone had any insight. Thanks.

As long as that fan's exhausting it'll be fine.

I'm gonna be blunt. When it comes to fans I get hell of confused. I don't know how to tell if a fan is pushing air in or pulling it out. Best way I can determine is sticking my hand under it to feel rofl. I infer the 200mm is pushing air down through the radiator and through the 140mms. I infer that the 140mms are pulling air through the radiator and pushing into the case. I truthfully have 0 idea though. I know I must sound like a twat, but ya.

I have an 820. The top fans are exhaust. Well fan stock, I replaced the stock fans and added a second 200mm.

Airflow need to be consistent. You work with the physics so as heat naturally rises all the fans in the top of your case should be exhaust or blowing up. Front, side and bottom fans are intake. Rear and top are exhaust.

The Phantom 820 can use the NXZT FZ fans as it has slightly odd mounting holes. I believe standard fans may also fit but I'd check the book to be sure. I used FZ fans to upgrade mine and they are good for the price. They come in LED and non LED models.

So I've got 4 x 200mm ( front, side and top x 2 ) and a single 140mm at the rear exhaust. All red LED.
