Meshify C airflow setup.

Heya,

 

I've just ordered a Meshify C (white) and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to set up my fans:

 

3x Corsair AF120 - BLUE

2x Fractal X2 GP120 (Inc in case) 

 

CPU Cooler: 

BeQuiet! Pure Rock Slim 

 

Obviously I know I don't need to have them all used. But given that my previous case (is) was the ThermalTake Core V21 with a 200M fan plus two of the Corsair fan as intake, I'm looking to achieve similar airflow. 

 

I will be using all the drive bays so I don't think I can get 3x120mm in the front. If I can I'll use 2 corsair and one fractal for that. 

 

Anyone got some suggestions?

 

Oh the build highlights are a 1600 @ 3.9GHz and a GTX 970 blower.

3 Corsairs front in, 1 Fractal rear out. Leave other Fractal out for now. You can add it to another exhaust or more intake if needed.

I'm not sure if I can get 3 in the front, with the drive bay still in?  I'll try!

The drive bay can be mounted farther back for mounting front rads but I think it can stay at the front if you're just mounting fans.

Case specs allow it, I recommend based on them.

3 intakes (2 front 1 bottom) and 2 exhausts. Keep it positive air pressure. 

Forgive me El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education...

Cool, thank you!
I think what I'll try and do is get 3 intake at the front.  Have one exhaust at the back but I'll probably get an AIO for aesthetic reasons soon ish and I'll likely put it on the top as exhaust.

I recommend the AIO I have if its compatible with your current hardware.

Yes and yes. But the most stressful thing I do to it is game. I would get something a bit bigger if you plan on doing any major overclocking
