Help With Fan Setup

[JokerProduction]

Well the build is essentially finished and up and running.  Except  at the last minute decided to add a insane amount of fans.

 

System as it sits now

 

phantom 410

4790K @4.6ghz

H80I GT*** (i got this for free because it was missing one fan)

MSI z97 Krait

32GB Cruicial Ballistix Tracer

Gigabyte windforce  GTX 970 4GB(soon to be replaced with 1080 once the FTW start shipping)

Corsair 750w modular PS

 

Fans are currently set up as follows

1-stock nzxt 120mm intake in the front

1-stock nzxt 140mm intake blowing down

Then I have the cooler setup on the rear exhaust spot with the NZXT stock 120mm as the pull fan and the coursair h80 fan as the pusher through the rad.

 

Even in this setup all my temps are good except my coolant temps seem to constantly climb even with a custom fan curve that maxes out the coursair fan at around 40c  The rest of the fans are just ran 100% all the time.  coolant temp will get to about 45.5c after about 6hours of GTA5(on pretty rediculous settings) CPU temps run about 60c

 

Now though I have coming a ton of TT RIING fans

2-140s for the top

2-120s for the front

1-120 to replace the NZXT on the h80(the coursair is gonna get swapped to be the puller and the ring will be the pusher exhausting out the back of the case)

1-120 to to intake up beside the power supply.

 

Now I've ran over every scenario in my head and just cant seem to come to a conclusion on what is best. At this point I'm leaning towards making everything a intake except h80 will still be exhausting out the back.  The phantom 410 has a huge vent in the side panel so I'm not to worried about too much posiitve pressure.  The front vent is filtered the top is not which is one the reasons I keep going back to having the 2-140s exhaust with everthing else as intakes.

 

Thoughts?  I,ve gotta make a decision tonite as the fans are showing as delivered and want to have picture for you guys tommorow.

Ignore bottom left.

With the PSU facing down, it will not contribute to airflow.

 

Always have at least 1 more intake than exhaust.

That includes rear-exhaust blower style cards

Positive pressure is the best thing since sliced bread

Well I got 5/6 fans installed.  Apparently the screws that come with the riing fans are only meant for the TT radiators as they were smaller diameter than the ones I needed to screw  into my coursair rad and nzxt case fan mounts... At first I thought the holes were stripped until I compared the screws.

 

Overall I'm impressed, temps are a few degrees cooler.  The rings are bright but they don't throw much light off into the rest of the case.  The 5 rings light the interior up just slightly less than the single stock 140mm nzxt 4led fan.
