I just built my first rig using a Phanteks Enthoo Luxe case. I'm using a Corsair H100i GTX cooler in a pull setup at the top, and a gtx 980ti hybrid also in pull, both are exhausts as well. I removed the 200mm fan and replaced it with the two 140mm fans that were the original exhaust fans. I've also removed the bottom hard drive cage to reduce resistance. I'm not obsessive about keeping my system silent so I have all of my fans (that I can controll) at full speed

 

So I'm looking for advice on achieving positive are pressure while maintaining full fan speed, even of that means buying different fans.

 

The pic is from before I actually removed the bottom cage and switched the intake fans.

set 2 fans on the front intake

set the fan on your gpu to be intake

set the fans on your cpu cooler to be exhaust

Should I mount the GPU fan somewhere else then? There's no filter on the rear, but I would still like to keep a fan there. Maybe if I put the 200mm fan in it's original spot and put the 140mm fans at the top and bottom as intakes since there are filters there?

keep the 2 fans in the front.

 

mount the gpu fan on the bottom so you have a filter. leave the rear fan spot, let the air find its way out
