How many Fans?

[Blindeagle]

Hi guys this is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7Jc6q4

 

I just wanted to double check on how many fans i will need to get for the NZXT h700. I have a couple of questions for it

 

1. With the AIO will it need to be put in the front of the case? or the top for better airflow?

2.The fans the x62 comes with, will that need to be put at the back of the Rad? or the front of it? (I think i will need to read up on a push pull config)

3. I have decided to get the "Corsair LL140" I wiill put either 2 at the front or the top , all depending on what you guys say about the x62 and then 1 at the back, Is this ok? Or for example, should i use the 3 x 120mm fans included with the h700 and dont buy the Corsair LL140?

 

Thanks again, i know its a lot of questions in 1 topic but im just a bit confused on what i need etc

What's your monitor resolution/refresh rate for gaming?

Will be 1080p 144hz , i will be upgrading soon 244hz Monitor and prob in the future getting a 4k one etc but for now 1080p and yes i know its overkill But i like overkill

Even a 1070ti is overkill, just save the money, nvidia is announcing new GPUs on the 20th anyways

 

Would also suggest saving some cash with Ryzen unless you need the best possible 240hz gaming, in which case you should wait until the intel 9th generation comes out as they're likely to be soldered, or buy an 8086K and get it delidded so you can hopefully hit 5.3ghz with fast memory.

If you're going to spend that much on RAM get good RAM for overclocking then buy aftermarket RGB heatsinks later if you must have RGB.

Should also just get a case that has good airflow so you don't need a bunch of extra fans. The H500 from coolermaster has giant RGB fans anyways.

Kraken coolers are overpriced memes

 

don't need a 1TB SSD unless you have a specific workload, could just use StoreMI instead to get most of the same performance out of a hard drive + SSD for tiered storage

but I just focus on the better value parts in general.

I thank you so much for ur input but i have most of the parts already so no going back now I just needed to know about the fans really, that was the big question

So sorry I couldn't save you

This review probably covers everything thermals about the case

However since the case has such limited airflow in almost every spot you probably want your rear fan for intake at least along something in the front pointing towards the GPU, and the AIO at the top

 

Or if you're going to remove the front panel so you actually have airflow just put all of the fans there.

Case is the only thing i have not got yet  But I've seen other reviews and everyone says its fine, yes its not amazing and i know there are better things out there butt it looks nice and does the job , so i cant complain and i can get the H700 which will save a lot of money

The Coolermaster H500 is cheaper has giant RGB fans and has some of the best cooling you can get in a case on the market today

I think i will stick with the h700 i like the look of it and it will work but anyway i will post on the cooling fourms about the fans and see if anyone can help me out but thanks for all the input

Should buy one of the limited editing game branded ones then, might hold it's value or some crazy collector will pay more for it in the future

Keep included fans for now. Check where rad goes. You might not need to do anything for fan setup if rad goes to top.

After watching thisi : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNAMxZgvves&t=1s

 

I think I'm goiing to put the AIO at the front with the "2 x 140mm" Fans that come with the AIO. Then i wiill take the "3 x 120mm" Fans that came with the case and put it at the top and leave the "1 x 140mm" Fan at the back, i think that should work

Thats bit worse as you get negative airflow situation. More dust and not really that much better temps as you CPU is already cooled at intake. And fans aren't helping GPU at all. Have 2 fans on top at most. And nothing at rear. Or 1 top and 1 rear only. Or something like that, but not all 4 as exhausts.

A freind just told me i could also do " If you put the AIO at the front, one 120mm fan at top and rear would suffice. Of course you could put 2 fans at the top and one at the rear." So i think basically what you said .

 

But i wonder why in the video Bitwit got good results with aio at front 

[Shrepto]

The Corsair LL series fans aren't that great performance wise.  The RGB is probably the best on the market right now, but as far as performance goes the reviews I have seen do not have them producing the best thermals.

AIO as intake uses cool air vs it being exhaust and using already warn air inside the case. So performance will be better for CPU. GPU is still using air inside the case, and if you have AIO at front, majority of that air is heated by AIO.

So you think the best place for it should be the top?

Yes. But I don't use AIOs nor know anyone IRL who uses one. So I haven't done/seen any performance numbers first hand.
