    MarAcurite got a reaction from shibbs in Front mounted rad question.   
    That's what I was thinking I was just wanting a 2nd opinion, thanks man! I'll pick some up when I go and pick up my 1080 from MicroCenter. Whenever they get them in... Have been waiting for the EVGA FTW edition.

    You'll really want SP fans. Think: You're pulling through the dust filter AND then pushing through the radiator. AF fans are going to choke bigtime.
     
    EDIT: If you do tack on some AF fans, I don't think they'll do enough to justify the extra power usage or trouble.

    Linus made a video on this I think it ended with sp push af pull or something. I use sp on push and pull.

    I, too, have the R5.
     
    Set the radiator in the front to pull in fresh air. Then have a single airflow fan (140mm is best in that case) to exhaust air out the back. Leave the moduvents on the top. Have the PSU pull in air from the bottom (fresh and filtered), and out the back.
     
    This is approximately what I do in mine, and I get some pretty damn good temps.

    Well, that depends. My graphics cards are the loudest part, unfortunately. I water cooled one, but the second will be liquid soonish.
     
    For reference:  
    2x LTT SPECIAL EDITION Noctua 140mm intake fans through 45mm 280mm Hardware Labs rad
    1x iPPC 2000rpm 140 fan for intake on bottom (really helps with GPU temps)
    1x iPPC 2000rpm 140 fan exhaust through 45mm thick 140mm Hardware Labs rad
     
    All the fans are less than 1000rpm at all times. 

     
    And yes, good overclocks for everything. lol  GPUs are at 1500 mhz, and CPU is 4.6 ghz. Wasn't quite stable at 4.7, and I didn't like feeding it over 1.3 vcore.
