I recommend seeing how the stock fans perform before deciding on whether or not to replace them.

Just purchased Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Series TG edition and it comes with 2 Phanteks 140mm fans.

 

What method would be the best airflow in this case?

 

two 120 MM intakes and one 140 mm out or

three 120 mm and noctua 140 mm?

Maybe one 120mm on top?

 

I am all ears.

I would do at least two in, one out. If you're adding something to the top mount I would also make it an intake.

 

Reasoning: This should give at the minimum neutral pressure, but should result in positive pressure in the case. Adding a top intake fan would also help draw in more cooler air and push out warm air.

two 140mm intakes (included fans) and one 120mm or 140mm exhaust (if it fits) either an RGB fan or a regular fan + a Phanteks Halo LED ring (syncs with case lighting)

Alright will go the route of 2 intakes and 1 exhaust.

 

How are the black and white fans that come stock with the Phanteks M Pro tempered glass edition?   ( 2 140mm Phanteks come stock with case)  Decent airflow?

 

 

or

 

 

Buy 3 Noctua 140mm fans (which 140mm fan model do you recommend?)
