HAF X Extra Fan & PSU

[sgunnery87]

I am in the process of ordering my parts for my build from Aria I have chosen a i7 2600k with a Gigabyte Z68 UD3 mobo and a Kingston 128GB SSD which is already ordered.

I am getting the rest of my parts for Friday I am just wanting to ask as I'm getting the HAF X as it comes with 4 fans already I was wondering because it has the space for an extra 200mm on the top should I add another one and maybe another 140mm at the back as I wanting to O/C and want the best possible cooling I will be using a NH-D14

What fans should I look at??

Also I am choosing a AX850 PSU as I not really wanting to upgrade my system for a few years should I got a little bit higher on the wattage and or stick with what I've chosen.

Also how do I figure out what's on the 12v rail??

The ax850 is a great psu, and unless you're going for a completely bonkers sli setup should be more than enough. I have that psu - it has a single 12v rail & a 7 year guarantee. The stock fan config for the haf x is very good 2*200 - roof & side panel, 230*1 @ front & 140*1 @ rear. You can add another 200 in the roof if you want - but you won't really need it. What vid card are you going to use?

Gtx 560ti so could o/clock the 2600k and should have enough cooling with just the fans included with the haf x then?

The stock config should easily be enough to cool those. The sb chips run pretty cool.

once you hit about 4 or 5 fans putting more in makes next to no difference
