I'm going for a quiet build and a black/white color scheme, and I'm currently planning to do:
■ Two A14 intake in the front
■ One A14 intake on the bottom
■ One A14 exhaust at the back
■ The h100i with the F12's on the top
■ Getting some Noctua white chromax fan mounts
Here are my questions.
■ Is this airflow configuration good?
■ Are there different fans I should go with that can keep the color scheme and perform the same?
■ As far as I know, I'm buying the IPPC's for just the color, since running them at low RPM's makes them essentially equivalent to the consumer versions. Is this correct?
