As far as noise i will experiment with quiet fans, not too concern since i usually game with headphones or like to have my volume So remove the side intake and both 200mm top fans exhaust? That would leave me with only 1 exhaust from the back case fan, is that sufficient, not really counting the psu exhaust since its only flowing thru the psu. Is there an advantage of having the RAD on the top instead of the bottom? The phantom does have an elevation to permit air flow how much wont know till i set it up. So decided the bottom would give me all the ideals this way the filter on the bottom of the case will capture most of the dust not get on the rad and I would have intake on the rad which will keep my temps cooler. Then there was the fact of top exhaust which would accumulate dust on the rad (bottom). ![]() Monitor: Asus VG278HE Newbix_Cube cube: For the rad installation top was my first choice but wanted to have exhaust on the top lots of forums recommended intake setup to keep the rad cooler. Power Supply: PC Power & Cooling 1200W ATX12V / EPS12V Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB or GIGABYTE GTX 780 Ti WindForce 3X OC (Will SLI whichever GPU is selected) Memory: G.Skill Trident X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-2666 Motherboard: ASRock Z87 OC Formula EATX LGA1150 or ASRock Z87 OC/ac version Even though some had recommended the Noctua A14-FLX 140mm's as a better performer and brand.ĬPU: Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-CoreĬPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X60 98.3 CFM Liquid ![]() They say that a negative pressure case is optimal for performance is this correct? If so will this diagram achieve that end? Using basically all stock fans except for the Kraken X60 those fans will be replaced with my recent purchase of 4 Akasa 14cm 140mm fans (AK-FN063). I probably could post this in the water-cooling section but decided to throw it here, been using my current system for a good amount of years but been having issues alot recently that I think can be attributed to a faulty motherboard (hard drive would disconnect, ethernet adapter would uninstall/reset itself etc), so I purchased a replacement from the members market to tie me over for a bit, I also bought myself the NZXT Phantom 820 as an upgrade from my current NZXT phantom case, it has been modded to fit the water-cooling components into it, removed all HDD bays (had to buy a 5.25" bay drive to fit my 2 SSD and 1 HDD into) cut part of the top of the case off to fit a 360mm (slim) radiator (which was held on by a few custom drilled holes) and the best place to mount my pump was upside down underneath the 5.25" bay, the maximus extreme board is an E-ATX board so wider than normal and it was abit tight fitting some things in - had to lose a fan off the top and bottom radiator, so basically it worked, but it wasn't pretty, that was 2 years ago this month.Would like to get some feedback on my proposed air flow diagram for my Phantom 820 case.
