Hello all again!
My build plan is coming together very quickly! I have a CPU and PSU picked out, and a LaserHive kit on the way! Now I'm looking at fans ~ My plan is to reuse all the fan slots except the HDD blower fan. I thought about replacing the internals of the original fans, but it seems like too much work. I've been trying to do research on fans but there isn't much info out there.
So basically, I'll have:
1 80mm fan on the top shelf for the HDD/SSDs
1 80mm fan for the PCI shelf
2intake/2outake 92mm fans for the CPU area
And 2 60mm fans on the 750w PSU that I'll be modding into the original case.
My question is -- there are all kinds of fans! Are there any good recommendations? I've seen some fans that create more static pressure and some that move air more quickly. For the CPU area, should I use the same fans front and back? Or try to create extra air pressure inside the case or less? I'll be using a i7-4790K (but not OC'd) so it might get stuffy. Also, for the CPU, will I need a better air cooler than the stock one provided? Also, I assume the one fan in the PCI shelf will be enough to cool a 770 GPU?
Sorry for the odd questions, I'm just pretty confused! Thanks for the help in advance,
