Question about fan types

[MacWhinny]

The configuration i am going with is 3x140 top exhaust, 3x 140 bottom intake (They do fit 3 140mm fans), 2x 140 front intake, 1x 120 rear exhaust, 2x 120 side intake.

 

 

In this push configuration

 

 

My question is, which fan types to have in each. static pressure-optimized (For the fans below the GPU for instance) or all high airflow fans for case fans. 

 

And which Noctua 140/120mm fans would be best that they make? Right now i have 5 140mm NF-A14 fans installed

Ok so few things first.

 

More fans does not mean better cooling. There is a point of diminishing returns or sometimes it even gets worse.

 

Secondly this o11 corsair clone is made for all intake and just let it exhaust with no obstruction from the back. The same as with a normal o11. This does mean you want leab to some slightly more pressure focused fans.

 

So as for fans dont overthink it and well dont get noctuas. Arctic p14's would ve HEAPS good here and very budget friendly.  Else get the p max series they firectly compete with the nf's for same noise and performance

 

I'd really just do "oops all intake" and leave the back empty (and id just ignore the obstructed side vents)
