Dual Intake Fans

gauncey6

So I have the Cooler Master, MasterCase H500 and on the front are 2 200mm fans. I was wondering if putting on 2 140mm or 3 120mm on the mounting bracket behind the 200mm would improve the cooling? Like using the high rpm fans from Lian Li?

It may actually hinder performance as the outer 200mm fan’s RPM would be lower & not matched with that of the inner fans.

 

If you’re happy with the current temps of your GPU/CPU, then don’t bother & spend money elsewhere.

H500 is one of the best cases for airflow(if you have the mesh front), you don't need more than 2x200mm fans. Adding more fans behind them would increase cost and noise.

The only reason to add fans like that in the H500/H500p/H500M is if u add a 240 or 360rad to the front (200mm push->rad->120mm push
