Hey,
I recently upgraded from a Define R4 to a Define 7 and went to an AIO at the same time. I got a Kraken X63 and top mounted it.
Now I'm quite unsatisfied with the noise levels of the original case fans so I thought I would replace them. PWM fans would likely be a much better option, right? Was looking at the 5 pack of Arctic P14’s and thought I could maybe replace the AIO fans at the same time.
Is there any point to this? Having 2 P14’s pulling air in in the front, having 2 P14’s on the radiator on the top and having 1 P14 as an exhaust in the back. Is there any point in replacing the radiators original Aer P140 fans with Arctic P14’s?
Also, should I have the radiator pulling or pushing air in the top? I currently have it pulling air in. So, in the current situation I have the 2 front fans pulling air in, the 2 radiator fans pulling air in and only one fan exhausting in the back. I thought about flipping the fans on the radiator but the idea of having 3 fans exhausting and 2 fans pulling air in feels wrong to me.
