So I just got a Define R5 and im about to move my parts from my old case into it. I got 2 Noctua 120mm fans from the old case, what would you guys recommend I do with them ? I was thinking about putting one of them in the front and one in bottom. So it will be 140mm in the back, 120 and 140mm in the front and one 120 in the bottom, would that be a good ? :)

 

Thanks in advance

So it okay to mix up 140 and 120mm's ? :D

Yes.

No gonna keep them on for max silence :)

Then putting one in the top is not an option.

 

Your proposed setup is sound.

 

The only possible problem with 3 intakes and 1 exhaust would be dust and the define r5 has good filters on the front and bottom.

I thought that a positive pressure prevented dust settling? 

If I use words like probably or most likely, it is because I dislike certainty. These words can probably be omitted and the sentence read as a certainty.

You're right, I mixed it up.

This shouldn't be a problem with the R5 anyway, but if you want to make sure your airflow is OK, just make sure that air is not being sucked into the vents adjacent to your PCIe ports.
