4 x 120 vs 3 x 140

[SandyBay]

I'm considering buying Corsair 7000D Airflow case. And replays all stock case fans to Arctic Bionix F140 fans. And to have 10 or 12 case fans(including liquid cooler fans). I don't care about price, I care only about temperature and noise. On the front side I can put Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 or Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 + 1 Arctic Bionix F140. Which variant is better? And my next question is about fans on the side panel, should I put them on air in or air out?

I would get the arctic liquid freezer ii 420, then have the fans on the side as air in

And top fans as air out, right?

Yes if you want to fill the case sure. You don’t have to fill the case if you don’t want to tho

Hot air only rises in a space with no airflow. If you have a fan, you have airflow. Airflow should be front to back.

 

Just like wiping.

If you have an air cooled gpu then go intake. Otherwise go exhaust

If your gpu has a metal backplate then yes (as a plastic one would be an insulator)

If you have a case that has a side panel with a fan in it, use that to blow cold air on the cpu/vrm area and have top and back as exhaust.

 

Front always intake, back always exhaust, top usually exhaust but could be intake in some cases to blow cold air on cpu/vrm.

I have the top of my Meshify C sealed off, works great.
