So after going through a lot of information, I chose Kraken X62. I already have two non-industrial Noctua Browns (S340 Elite) in my intake. I'm wondering if it's better to run them on the X62 or if I need the industrial Noctua version and have to drop the stock fans and replace my brown ones.

I’d retain the nzxt fans individually just in case you perform a case upgrade, since they offer solid performance. They’re also suitable for front cold air fans if room allows!

I would have placed the noctuas on the cooler and used the nzxts as exhausts, but you’d need to test it yourself with stable temperatures at idle and under load.
In my view, having more fans inside is better, since noise isn’t an issue for me because I have a good headset, so I’d increase the fan speed and let it run.
Good luck!

Thanks, Chip!
I already own two more noctua, so I might have to sell the nzxt fans if those noctua work with the radiator holding the 8600k at 5ghz.
