Hi All,

 

I have an opportunity to get an, essentially brand new, Kraken X41 for a very reasonable price ($40).  Currently I'm using a CM Hyper 212 Evo Air cooler on an FX-8300.  It seems like the performance of the X41 may only be marginal gains in compassion to my current air cooling solution, but to be honest, I like the looks of the Kraken...

 

Anyway, I'm using the nzxt s340, which only allows for front mounted rad's.  So the conventional air setup is intake through the front, exhaust out the back/top.  In case you don't know, the S340 has 2x140/120 front, 1x140/120 top, and 1x 120 rear fan placements.  If I go with this X41, what would be the proper case fan set up?  I saw Jayztwocents video about using intake on a front mounted radiator and how it does not effect case temperatures significantly. but I wanted to throw this question out to the community.

 

I guess what I would do is have the 140 rad in the front with another 120/140 intake fan, exhaust out of the rear and top.  I hesitate to exhaust from the front and intake from rear top only because there are no dust filters in those locations.

 

Maybe this is just a stupid
