Hi All,
I purchased the case (https://www.newegg.com/black-fractal-design-meshify-c-dark-tg-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811352072 ) and need advice on additional fans to buy and how to arrange them.
I was thinking to put the 2 stock fans in back and top, and buy 2 140mm fans for the front. If that sounds good, which fans to buy? Or some other arrangement entirely?
Budget-wise, I really don't want to pay more than $20 each, and of course less is better. I prioritize effectiveness over quietness, though obvs the quieter the better. And prefer black.
I've read a number of case reviews, but they seem more or less generic about the fans, and have read a number of posts here and elsewhere, asking similar questions, but they either already have additional fans (I don't), or aren't quite asking this exact question (If i missed the right post, my apologies).
Oh and here's the rest of the build:
PCPartPicker Part List
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition 42 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB WINDFORCE OC 3X Video Card
Power Supply: Fractal Design Ion+ 660 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
+ 1 NVMe and 2 HDDs
EDIT: I just learned that the shipment of the CPU cooler is delayed, so it any recommendations for another at similar price point would be great. I guess my only preference is that it's designed for AM4, i.e. doesn't need a mounting bracket.
Thank you!
