Hi all, I am building my first pc. I put the noctua nh-d15 with a 10700k into the smallest, cheapest case I could find that would fit them, a phanteks eclipse p300. (I have a weird sense of humor.) I'll be adding a 3070 when I can find one. I could only fit one noctua fan on the cooler, of the two that came with it. The case came with one basic exhaust fan. The front of the case can hold 2 intake fans, and I can fit one more venting out the top. My question is, for the best cooling, should I add the second exhaust fan? I'm not sure if it is going to help with the cooling because it is at such a stark angle to the cooler (see picture).
To follow up, if I do or do not add the second fan, does that change how many intake fans I should put on? I was planning on adding 2 to the front and leaving off that top exhaust fan, because the red and blue arrows look better that way in my head, but I'd like some ideas. And I'm also taking suggestions for intake fans.
Thank you in advance all!
Edit: Can't add the picture the way I intended. Suffice to say that the second fan would be jammed up against the radiators from the noctua.
