Completely Torn on fan placement H500i

Zedia

Okay, so where do I start.

 

280mm Radiator in the front of the case, with two 140mm intake fans. 

Exhaust locations are top and rear. I was going to have two 120mm fans for exhaust (Allows for a 120 and a 120/140) 

BUT, I was watching a randomfrankp  video where he has 2 120mm intake on the rad, and one 120mm exhaust. Should I have just two 140mm intake and one 140mm exhaust, or have two 140mm but with two 120mm exhaust? Someone please give an opinion lol

I'm open to literally any suggestions on what to do because so far only reddit has helped me (but not much)

PH-F140MP are radiator fans, so I would want to get two of those and one other one right?

One 140mm exhaust should provide balanced airflow. The two intake fans have to push through the radiator, and will push roughly the same amount of air as one 140mm without any obstructions.

Thank you all for recommendations. Badreg essentially answered my question. However, fan recommendations for both intake and exhuast are wanted

 

Case is the H500. Fans for the radiator are currently phanteks ph-f140mp (havent ordered anything yet)

Temps won't be noticeable different. As AIO as front intake will determine both CPU and GPU temps. If you have the fans already, you can test which you like more. If you don't have fans yet, probably better to save price of a fan.

 

And give some time to replies. This is international forum so it might take a day or two to get quality answers.

The Kraken x62 already comes with fans. Those combined with the stock case fans for exhaust should be plenty for cooling already. I recommend seeing how they perform before deciding on whether or not to buy new fans.
