My first build/gaming rig + questions

[Swampfire227]

Hello everybody,

I was wondering about a few things, how would i best optimize air flow in my case? As of right now, I have the three stock 120mm fans on the front of the case set to pull, as well as the 2 140mm fans from the h100i pulling in air as well. The only exhaust is on the rear Corsair AF140. On standby is generally 30-35 degrees Celsius, while when I'm playing CS GO, it ramps up to 55 degrees celsius, thus my exhaust fan goes to near maximum rpm, and is extremely irritating(unless the source of the sound is coming from elsewhere). Lastly, how safe is overclocking my cpu, and does anyone have any tips on wire management?

maybe grab some noctua fans for the cpu cooler? as well as the rest of the system? or even corsairs silent series fans would work. and itd help a lot if youd post pics of the build.

should be a breeze with the h440, use the cutouts!   also cable ties are a man's best friend

(I'm not sure how to embed pictures on the website, sorry) http://imgur.com/a/SVhtjWhat kind? I'm not savvy with fans.

noctua nf 12s or 14s the 12s are 120 mm the 14s are 140 mm also your cable management isnt that bad its pretty decent airflow seems good in your case as well keep the side panel open and try and determine where the rattling is coming from as well as any other noise.

Thank you for your advice, for the radiator replacements, should I get the p14 models instead of the a14's, and for the others just the a12(a14 for the rear)( http://puu.sh/ifiyk/286bc15f51.png) ( http://puu.sh/ifiAm/37987ebb95.png ) The model name's rather confuse me x.x

nf a14 theyre great for static pressure and even air flow i believe the p series now those fans spin at a much higher rpm so theyre more noisey because of that the nfs are the more silent fan and they come with a y cable a low noise adapter the limits the max rpm of the fan to 1200 rather then 1500 and a cable extender i hope this helps now does your radiator have 140mm fans or 120 mm fans?

oh ok you have the h100 so you want two 120 mm fans so the nf 12's will be what you want ill link you them http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608026&cm_re=noctua-_-35-608-026-_-Product

also id like to correct myself the p series were for the 120 mm only and those look to be more for cpu coolers and such the series i was thinking of are the industrial that run at around 3000 rpms sorry if this caused any confusion. the nf f12 is what you are looking for for your radiators though

Thank you very much, lukky
