Hey all,

 

I just bought 2 Noctua nf s12a fan (for the rear and top exhaust marked as red on the .img), and I would like to know at fan speed rate should i spin them? 

I read that the top exhaust fan should be spininng slower than the rear to utilize more airflow, however in my case the space between the DRP4 and the top exhaust fan isnt that huge and it has less pressure if i spin the noctua fan at lower speed, so what should i do?

The advice you're getting is intended to make a case have positive airflow. Because you have 3 intake and only 2 outtake (the PSU is isolated from the rest of the system), I don't think you need to do that.

Spin them all the same, put them all on the same curve, problem solved.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.
