The 380t is mostly mesh anyways so you might be okay? Have you seen LTT's video on the 380t or HardwareCanucks's?

I'm making a sub $1700 mini-itx build but when replying to my question, don't mind the budget, I am okay with breaking it a little. There are only 2 case fansin the corsair 380t, but I'm planning on making them noctuas. I am wondering if this will case inadequate airflow in my case. Does it really matter? Is my cpu cooler all that matter when it comes to overclocking? Thanks!
