Hello, before finalizing your setup, consider checking if the power cables are correctly routed in the case holes. You mentioned thinking about a layout of three fans facing forward and one at the back, but you’ve also seen options with mounting on the roof. Your main concern is ensuring enough space around the CPU cooler for airflow. Any advice would be appreciated.

I use three front exhausts for optimal performance, which is how I set it up with my NH-D15 directing air to the rear fan. The cable routing is neat, no issues noticed. You can take off that cover for better access—connect the 24-pin to the motherboard then reattach the cover.

The cover can indeed be taken off. Regarding the fans, you’ll need to secure the threads yourself since they differ from the old ones.

They should include these extended rubber fan brackets that Noctua recommends. You can observe Linus using them in this clip, and I recorded the timing. He also shows how to attach a smaller fan following the larger one he initially uses.
