I have 3 140mm nzxt rgb fans that I WILL use as exhaust in my case, 2 on the top and 1 in the back. I also have a 280mm radiator, and the case comes with 3x120mm fans in the front.

 

So option 1 is: keep the 3 fans in the front and use the rad on the top with the rgb fans on. The thing is that the rgb fans aren't high static pressure, I've done my reasearch and know that it will make the gpu a couple of degrees hotter, worth it in my opinion.

 

Option 2: put the radiator in the front with the original high static pressure fans and remove the preinstalled 120mm fans. The 3 rgb fans still goes in the back and top. This seems great but the airflow will be worse right? 3x120mm fans should have better airflow than 2x140mm high pressure fans restricted by the rad?

 

Which one seems best? I want good airflow like in option 1, but idk maybe it's not better. This is my first build and it's expensive so I want to get it right.
