Include 3 fans , I have 2 options
1- buy more x2 140mm to use front
and the included fans 2 top 1 rare done
2- buy x3 120mm for top and rare

which better ? front x2 140mm or x3 120mm ?

I do not know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone

3x 120s.. or if you can squeeze 2x 140s and a 120 in there , then that would be good. I have my Meshify C setup like that, with the 120 in the middle.

AMD R7 5800X3D | Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO, 1x T30

Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero | 32GB G.Skill Trident Z @ 3733C14

Zotac 4070 Ti Trinity OC @ 3060/1495 | WD SN850, SN850X, SN770

Seasonic Vertex GX-1000 | Fractal Torrent Compact RGB, Many CFM's

I guess it would depend on the fan, I like around 100cfm from each fan..

You can get a 3 pack of Thermalright rgb fans on Amazon for the same price as one of those.

 

They are stronger too 👌

Many cases like that have a fan frame more suited to 3 x 120mm front fans, so the frame may block 140mm fans & reduce their airflow performance. Think about that before going 140mm. If you have any old 140mm fans, line them up & see if the frame doesn’t get in their way.
