H440 Case Fans

[DarkTerbear]

I'm another one of those people who love the aesthetics and the silence of the H440, but are worried about their potentially air starved components.

(This is my first build, and PCPartPicker Link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZnTzt6)

I will be using an M.2 ssd, so all the drive cages in the front will be gone. I will be using an X61 Kraken on the top in push (exhaust) and the stock fan in the back also for exhaust. The main problem here is the front 3 fans. Should I be using SP because of the huge panel in the front, or should I use AF? Perhaps a combination thereof (2 SP forcing are into the small compartment and 1 AF to propel it into the case)? Just some ideas, and I would like to hear everyone's opinion.

Use 3 SP fans at the front to pull the air. If anything, the AF fans should be at the back as the exhaust as that's where it most effective in H440.

If you are buying the case still, if you get the Matte Black, they have fixed those issues and are no longer as constricted :3 Among other updates like a better fanhub with PWM

Hopefully Hardwarecanucks will release the video soon, but really 3: Its much better.
