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 R9 5900X | Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120SE | 2x T30 | SYY-157
Asus Strix B550-XE | 4x8GB G.Skill Trident Z Mix @ 3800 14-15-15-35 2T
EVGA RTX 3070 Ti FTW3 @ 2100/1300 | WD SN850+SN750, 2x Intel 545S
EVGA SuperNova 750w | Fractal Torrent Compact RGB | 1x T30, 2x NF-A14

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 👌

I seen the pack. 3 pack of 120mm or 140mm ?

What you think?

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.
