Optimal airflow help?

Go to solution Solved by LogicalDrm,

2x120mm front intake, 2x120mm top exhaust. That gives you neutral pressure inside case and is enough to keep dust out. If your GPU seems to be hot, add one 120mm to side.

 

As for built-in fan controller. It has molex for power and 2-3 fan connectors to hook your fans. You may need splitters if you want connect all fans to it.

I recently ordered 

                  4x 120mm (ZM-F3 FDB(SF)

 

I also have 2x 120mm (NZXT)

                  1x 140mm (NZXT)

and the

                  1x 120mm (CPU cooler fan)

2x 120mm fans (unspecified)

1x 140mm fan (unspecified)

1x CPU cooler fan (for evo 212)

 

 

I'm aware I don't have the appropriate fans to do this the best possible way, but they came as a set and i'm hoping to make do. Should I be leaving any out? Or go ahead with the extra dust risk and have 1 extra out-take fan? Also is it wise to have the CPU fan pulling the air out of the 212 directly towards an out-take fan?

 

This case will be cooling a 970 gigabyte G1 btw

 

If anyone could give any advice on how the built-in fan controller for the NZXT Phantom 410 works it would be greatly appreciated, I can't remember ever finding out how to hook it up to the 3 speed adjuster on the case
