Hey guys and girls .. need some opinions on a cooling setup .. I've just ordered myself a Corsair Graphite 780T case and I'll be running a H100i AIO in it. Currently I run the H100i in the top of a Carbide 300R case as the only exhaust, all other fans are intake (2x120mm front / 1x120mm rear). In the 780T I'll be able to mount the H100i rad in the top, bottom or front of the case and it also comes with 3x140mm case fans giving me the following options..
1/ stick with top mounted rad as exhaust with all other case fans as intake (2x140mm front / 2x120mm bottom / 1x140mm rear) ...
2/ put the rad in the front as intake with 2x120mm bottom also intake then 2x140mm top exhaust and 1x140mm rear exhaust ...
3/ put the rad in the bottom as intake with 2x140mm front also intake then either 2 or 3x120mm OR 2x140mm top exhaust and 1x140mm rear exhaust ...
The fans I have at my disposal are: 2xNoctua 120mm NF-F12 IPPC 2000 PWM for the rad and then for the case a selection from 2x120mm Aerocool DeadSilence, 3x140mm Corsair AF, 1x120mm Corsair standard case fan, 2x140mm Corsair standard case fan.
What would be the best way to set it up to give a reasonably positive pressure in my case? Currently I'm thinking option 2 would be the best for cooling and also looks as the 2 Aerocool 120mm fans have blue LEDs that would shine up from the bottom of the case and 2 of the Corsair AF 140mm fans have white LEDs that would shine down from the top of the case
What do you folks rekon? (thanks for you time and input)
