Ideal case fan setup for Cooler Master H500P Mesh?

[RogueNineOne]

I've seen some good reviews about the Cooler Master H00P Mesh case and decided to get it for my next build; rest of the components for my build are:

I'm hoping the Noctua NH D15S will provide suffiicient cooling for the i9-9900K but I'm kinda worried about my GPU cooling. Are the stock 200 mm fans in the front, and the single 120 mm rear exaust fan good enough for overall optimum cooling? If not then please recommend an ideal case fan setup for better airflow.

 

P.S. I can't go for aio because we don't have good warranty support for those in my country.

You need to post the permalink and not the url.

 

The stock case fans should be plenty for most systems. Unless you're running more than one graphics card and / or heavily oc'ing, it'll probably be fine. 

You can also see the temps before deciding on whether or not to change anything.

Sorry about that

I'll be doing CPU overclocking, yes. So what kind of fan setup should I go for?

As mentioned, the stock case fans should be plenty. See the temps and decide on whether or not to change anything afterwards. 

What's with the large psu? Are you planning to add another graphics card?

What are the LL120's for?

I'm not getting a second GPU but the HX750i is out of stock and HX850i is like only $10-$12 more, so I decided to get the 850W one. The LL120's are just place holders atm...

You could get away with a much cheaper psu. For example, the MWE Gold 650 or RM (2019) 650 would both be more than enough:

LL's are great for their lighting options but that's about it. As far as fans go, they're not great performers due to the short fan blades. 

Do you already have some of these parts? A 1tb hdd doesn't make much sense with the amount you're spending. You could just get a large ssd instead. Is there any reason you'd need more than one drive?

With the components I'm planning to get, this rig will demand around 600 W at full load, so I'm not really comfortable with a 650 W PSU...and as for the platinum certification...I'll be using this for the next 5 yrs or so....just want to make sure the device provides optimum efficiency.

I haven't bought anything yet....getting everything next month. I'm gonna get a 500 GB 2.5" SSD now and a 2 TB HDD instead of the 1 TB one in March.

Yeah, gonna keep my work stuff in my HDD while the games, OS and other programs in my SSDs

Efficiency helps will having the psu run cooler and the system draw a bit less power but the difference in the electrical bill is generally very small unless you're running the system at load 24/7. A good 650w like those mentioned would be fine even with oc'ing. If you're heavily oc'ing or running a lot of other components, a larger 750w isn't much more either.

Do you need an nvme ssd for any particular reason? If the programs you're using don't take advantage of the extra speed, a larger sata drive may be better instead since the practical difference in speed is marginal in most use cases. Compared to the hdd, it's not much more for a good ssd like an 860 QVO:

Games are also getting larger and 500gb might not be very spacious depending on how you handle your library.

Since this will be mostly used for extensive rendering, this system will run for 16 hrs almost every day.

I like to play AAA titles but since I don't get much time for gaming, I'm kinda picky. probably won't have more than 2 games installed at the same time...but yes, what you said is true...thanks for that advice...I'll probably get a larger 2.5" ssd instead of the nvme one.

So I've decided to go with the fan setup as marked in the pic (not my pic btw). I think the exhaust at the top won't cause any problem for CPU but if I'm wrong then please feel free to correct me. Also, what if I remove front half of the PSU shroud? Would it help to lower the GPU temp by 1°C - 2°C?

The rear should be exhaust. 

Removing some of the psu shroud should help get a bit more fresh air for the graphics card. 1-2c seems like a reasonable improvement.

Yes it will be..I was just thinking about adding one 140 mm at the top ( as marked in the pic) as an additional exhaust.

Yeah, that could help. Depending on how much you prefer to spend, some good options include:
