Hello, i need your help,

 

I have an NZXT 410 (the orange and black one), and i need some help with configuring the fans.

 

So i have 2 fans situated at the front pulling in air that i look to upgrade to corsair SP120's.

 

One fan on the top of the case blowing air out that i look to upgrade to two SP120's as well

 

But my big issue what do i do about the fans on the H80 which the radiator is situated at the back for the case blowing air out. 

 

1. Should i change the configuration of the fans in any way (also includes moving the h80's radiator if required)

 

2. What fans do i use on the radiator/ rest of the case? (all 120mm fans i am looking to get either the SP120's or AF120's)

 

2. Is there any point in me putting a fan on the side of the case, which is directly in line with my xfx 7970?

 

( i am upgrading the fans' because when i have the h80 on full power mode it runs way to loud for my liking's but i need it that powerful when gaming because it is one of the two outputs of air)

 

Many thanks

 

Overloss

1) Radiator fans should always be exhaust (if placed rear or top). If your mobo or CPU keeps getting too high in your opinion, add single intake at front most top slot. You can have the rear top as intake or exhaust.

 

2/3) Side intake will help for GPU temps. Add if you think GPU is running hot.

SP120's should go on the rad. AF120's should be used for everything else.

Have you considered using different fans?
