phanteks Phanteks mATX airflow

[moomoo_n_mehmeh]

Tricky but fun. I've a phanteks enthoo evolv matx, planning to go full air cooling

 

So, the stock chassis has got a sp200mm and sp140mm fan, my plan is to take on another 2 x af140mm, tricky bit is where to put the  AF or SP, so here goes:

mockup 1:

Design restrictions on the mATX non TG, I stack a sp140mm behind the sp200mm, with an 2 x af140mm exhaust on top and rear, with an optical drive mounted at the back

 

mockup 2:

my planned setup, screw the optical drive, 2 intakes 2 exhausts, with 2 SP fans to create positive pressure in front and 2 af fans for exhaust. However, as you can see there is a gap between the filter and the intake sp140mm, will it be better to use the af140 instead to recycle air around, and use the sp140 as the top exhaust that punch through the covered filter? 

 

mockup 3:

be more creative than phanteks themselves, instead of mounting the optical drive at the slot at the back, swap place with the fan and mount it sideways, each time you want to use it, you swing open the glass cover

 

Sff workstation mainly, not alot of gaming, little oc, should I opt for a blower gtx 1070 for air temps inside chassis?

 

 

I need inputs, let me know what you guys think yea, cheers

I'd  screw the 200mm fan entirely and Mount two 140s at the front and a 140 at the back and done. That's should be easily enough and you can still mount your optical drive.

Do you have the system already?

Nope, I'm still amassing the parts these few days from online sellers, the chassis is alr in my room.

 

@ Senselian that seems to sound very reasonable

Have you powered the fans on yet? If not, I suggest seeing how the stock fans perform before deciding on whether or not to replace them.
