so i want to move my computer into an NZXT H440 (its in a Define S right now but im looking for a "rounder" look) since im not going to put any radiators in this case i need to reconfigure my fans to fit the case. my current fan inventory is 6x venturi hp-14 pwm, 3x venturi hp-12 pwm, 4x venturi hf-14. i will be using a be quiet dark rock pro 3 cpu cooler, will use the top drive tray, and my GPU has an internal exhaust cooler. id like to have neutral-positive air pressure while minimizing fan noise and maximizing cooling potential. what would be the best way to fill the fan slots of the case with the fans i have?

Said it before I could. This is your best bet. I love my Corsair AF series fans, haven had them in this system for years. They don't get much louder than my Dark Rock Pro 3

I would think the pwm would be switched between the top and back since the Hf-14 is an airflow fan and the top of the h440 is a little restrictive. I'm not an expert though so I'll take that plan as the best option so far.
