750D Airflow

[Dollarhyde]

I am building a new PC and I have this kind of config planned and most parts bought except cooler and the case. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wXfGt6

 

 

Question 1. Is there any benefit of doing push pull on H220-x or H240-x, I will probably replace the fans with one of the corsair's SP fans.

Question 2. What kind of airflow and position of the radiator would be the best is this 750D case. http://www.pcper.com/files/imagecache/article_max_width/review/2013-10-07/29-Air-Cooling.jpg I would really like to know what kind of airflow to go because this is really important and I will help me a lot. But exactly which fans to use and where and what type.

um were is the graphics card?

I will have GTX 650 from my old PC just to use the PC, when 980 Ti or similar card comes out I will buy that then...

also save your self some money and buy a 5820k if your not planning on more than 3 way sli

 

as for the airflow push pull has no real benifits so just stay with push or pull, i would sugest you position the rad in the roof of your build so it is sucking air out of the case,

Push/pull helps by a few degrees at most and isn't really worth doing on such thin rads.

Why such a large case? Are you going with a larger custom loop in the future?

You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

That's an assumption that that's happening at all. I'm curious as to what you intend to be doing that a 980 or two 970s isn't enough, though.

I might get into more of use of PCI lanes later, I went there just because of expand-ability and scalability. I go for bigger case just to be able to scale later, I am not sure what I will do, just to be able to expand. That was the same what I was thinking, go top radiator and rear 140mm both sucking air out and the ones on front as intake and maybe go with the bottom to act as intakes too.

I tend to go with the top quality if not top, just below that. 4930k which was in the Alienware originally had the 40 PCI lanes, that is why I go with that.

personally i do not like intakes from the bottom of the case, even if you have a dust filter it will still suck in the settled dust on your floor

That was exactly as I was thinking, but how to go from here, it should be more intakes than outtakes, to create positive pressure and how would we be able to achieve that in this scenario?

A nice mid tower is generally plenty for expandability. A full tower like the 750D is designed for water cooling and isn't as good as smaller cases for air cooling.

Well I go with watercooling CPU for now, this water cooler from swiftech is able to expand, I just cut the tubings and add a gpu block or similar, but the actual question is how to set up the fans to have something optimal and is there this kind of need?
