Case Fan configuration

[bubbl]

Hi. My case is a H710, which comes with three front intake fans and a single exhaust fan. I used to have an NH-D15 cooling the cpu with a 120mm fan in the front to fit the ram. However, I recently got a new kit of rgb ram so I’m thinking of removing the front 120mm fan and just keeping the single fan in the middle.

 

My question is, is there a good place where I can put that leftover 120mm? I was thinking of maybe putting it as a top exhaust on the very left of the case, above the cpu cooler, but I don’t know if that’ll affect airflow to the cooler or create any annoying humming/sound from resonance.

 

I attached some pictures for you to get a better picture of what I’m talking about.

 

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you!

I would try an uglier solution where you use it as a continuation fan for front intake to push that fresh air under the gpu. Double sided tape is your friend.

I wouldn't bother.

Removing intake fans on a H710 is going to be... painful, it already has very little airflow, I had to get rid of my H710i because of that.
