Air Flow

[FunkyDaSushi]

would a kraken x72 in front as intake provide enough airflow for the pc below assuming I put the AER fans that come with 710i on top and x72 kraken in front.

In push-pull ? Definitely, especially if this is gaming build, it's not going to draw a lot of power on the CPU.

And i'd like to make some suggestions for other parts :

- This AIO is cool and all but there's EVGA CLC 360 for 70$ cheaper, it's no worse.

- Same for the motherboard, there's Gigabyte Z390 Pro WiFi, very capable VRM too. Or at most, Gigabyte Aorus Ultra\Master or ASRock Taichi.

- You don't need 32GB RAM for gaming PC but it's okay if it's for video editing too. Altrough this particular kit is ... a little bit overpriced, get some 18\19CL kit, it'll be more than enough, it doesn't worth spending 350$ more for ~2% performance increase.

- Same for SSD, there's a lot of cheap and fast SSDs out there, like Team MP34, Inland Premium, Sabrent Rocket, ADATA SX8200 Pro, Corsair MP510 etc. And since you're spending several thousand dollars for a gaming PC, get 2TB SSD right away.

- This GPU SKU is a bit overpriced too, get EVGA XC or ASUS Strix for 300$ cheaper.

- Case is fine but you can get non-i version cheaper, the only difference are that worthless smart fan-controller thingy which isn't very smart at all.

- Get better PSU, Corsair RMx, Bitfenix Whisper\Formula Gold or Enermax Revolution D.F (which is practically the same PSU as Bitfenix Formula Gold), you don't need more than 650W for this build too.

- Come on, you ain't gonna see the difference between 144FPS and 240FPS, get some good IPS 1440p 144Hz display instead for cheaper.

- You don't need Windows 10 Pro for home usage, the only difference is that it can run in enterprise environment.

 

Minus thousand dollars for nothing. And since it looks like this is purely gaming PC (because of TN panel) you can actually get it even cheaper by getting 16GB RAM, opting for AMD platform and getting RTX2080 Super GPU instead.

You're good then lol.

so having a non push and pull kraken x72 in front for intake and 1 AER 140mm at back + 3 AER 120mm at top both as exhaust will do the job? and will it be positive or negative air pressure?

It'll be negative if they'll run on the same RPM, you can either cap top-exhaust fans to ~500 RPM and run AIO's fans on ~800 RPMS minimum or remove all top exhaust fans but one right above motherboard VRM heatsink so there'll be at least some direct airflow on it, it'll be fine.

how do i cap top fans? or should i put x72 on top and 3 fans in front?

No, you can't completely shut-off AIO's fans so if these are the only fans running, the AIO should be on the front. Make fan curves for top exhaust so they will kick in only on 70° C on CPU (0 RPM at 65° C), starting from 500 RPM and up to maximum RPM at 90° C, this way they'll rarely start at all (if ever) so AIO fans would be the only fans running constantly, for positive pressure most of the time.

Gonna come down to how that gpu runs. 

Being able to get all the hot air out whilst also trying to get fresh air in. 

 

Would suck to buy fans again but I’d prolly run the rad up top of possible. 

Either way nothing left to do than try it and see how it goes.

so aio in front and decrease AER fans' RPM that are on the top?

Yup.

All i wanna add is that you shouldn't forget about the exhaust fans, don't slow them down too much. That can be detremental to the gpu temps.

Getting the GPU's hot air out of the case is more important the + or - pressure. I solved the gpu temp problem by moving my rad to the top and speeding up the rear exhaust fan a bit. I'm not sure how your aio would fare with the 9900k, if it had to breath the 2080ti's air.
