Find the optimal cooling setup for your high-performance gaming rig.
Even with six Corsair ML140 PRO LED fans, you might want to use just one on top since it’s easier to manage. The case includes two or three fans, bringing the total to eight to nine fans. This setup could relate to maintaining negative static pressure, given only one intake and two exhausts. You’re considering positioning the included fans in front of the radiator for concealment and a new fan behind inside the case.
Maintaining positive pressure during intake isn't problematic since the exhaust fans assist in expelling air from the enclosure.
Your dust filter is positioned at the base and raised above the floor, allowing cool air to enter from below. The top exhaust plays a role here by drawing in more air from the bottom to help cool the hot air exiting the radiator. For this setup, maintaining negative pressure for intake is important since mounting a fan at the bottom isn't possible. Therefore, having more fans on top to expel air would be beneficial. Otherwise, your VRM and GPU temperatures may rise. Make sure to clean the filter regularly.
