Static Pressure Fan or Airflow Fan for Nzxt s340 elite front?

[waldo.depree]

Hi there,

Should I use airflow fans or static pressure fans with this case? There is an obstruction so my guess would be static pressure? I would like to buy 140mm fans, any suggestions?

Static pressure fans are better for tight/obstructed spaces. My bet would be on the static pressure.

However, try using the case fans for testing, light a cigarette or an incense stick and see how well the smoke flows. It should suck everything right in and the smoke is almost clear in which case cfm is good. If it's not very efficient then go for static pressure
