Additional Fans for BitFenix Phenom M

[Noyu]

Good Day, I just finished building my first PC on a Phenom M.

 

So far, I'm just using the 2x120mm included fans as top intake.

 

Bottom is heat-shielded (for now).

 

And CPU cooler is a Hyper212x exhausting to the back.

 

I'm currently looking for fans to add.

 

Configuration would be:

 

2 x 120 Top Intake

2 x 120 Bottom Intake

1 x 140 Back Exhaust

 

Currently, I'm planning to add 2 x 120mm GTs (1850rpm) at bottom intake, and 1x Cougar Vortex HDB 140mm at back exhaust. The cougar's color irks me a bit, but if I don't find an alternative, Ill just go with it.

 

Thoughts?

Too much fans, benefit not much.

 

Would recommend to drop all the money on the cpu cooler, but hey you already built it.

so far running at 40-50degC at idle. Ambient isn't air-conditioned.

 

So yea, I gotta get that hot air out. Changing to (or investing on) a better cooler would still result to hot air just lingering within the case.

 

EDIT:

You have a point though. I might go with the 140mm exhaust first, check temps, and add the 120mm's later as needed. What I don't like about this is that the bottom half of the case might be on neg pressure.

 

The GPU is basically absorbing and exhausting all the air from the top intakes.
