Air Flow Question (Using H100)

[Abereda]

Hey Guys Ive orderd my parts & am getting ready to build my first PC but Im still trying to figure out how to get the best airflow with what I have, from what Ive read I belive that the face side of the fan is the Pull side (& the back of the fan with the braces & wires is the Push side) please correct me if im wrong. Below is a quick Pic I made to show my current plan for the parts Ive orderd.

(the 2 fans going on the top are >

mounted through the case like so >

A friend reccomended that I use the 2 fans on top & also have the stock fans from the H100 mounted to the other side of the radiator (inside the case) for a total of 4 fans on the H100 but im not sure wether thats a good idea or not. (and what direction they should all be if i should do it.) I also cant decide if i should have the fans around the H100 (wether its 2 or 4) facing up (to take air into the PC through the case/radiator or to have the fans turned upside down to have them pulling air out of the case through the radiator. (Any adive would be greatly appreciated).

I also have a silly question about static, saying to just touch a piece of metal and others saying to have the PSU on & touch it. Id just like to clear up what the best course of action would be

Thanks4yourtime

Personally, I wouldn't have any 200 or 230mm fans. That is because I don't know of any which are quiet or comparatively efficient. I would use 2x 120mm fans in the front (pretty sure you have that option?) and a 120mm in the side by your GPU
It's kinda personal preference though and may end up costing you a fair bit more.
Fans are easy to play around with too so you can decide once you have the case

With a case like that though with the mesh side I would probably draw air in through the front and top and let it out the side panel over the GPU

With regards to static, you shouldn't have a problem as long as your not working on carpet. Modern components will only very very rarely break due to this. Just don't go dragging your knees and hair across thick carpets before you build your PC

iirc 1 x 200mm fan is quieter than 2 x 120mm fans and may even push more air. this is for case fans.
as a rule, case airflow is usually front and sides as intakes, top and rear as exhausts.
for the h100, your pic looks fine to me, but i have never had a closed loop system before so could be wrong.
the stock fans can be noisy, so if noise is not a problem, try them in a push/pull config.

top of case
2 x 120mm pushing up and out.^^
h100 radiator
2 x 120 mm stock fans pushing up ^^

do a stress test, and record temps.
reverse fans so they are pulling down into the case, redo stress test.
go with the coolest

edit.
leave psu plugged in but switched OFF at the plug, that way everything is earthed through the psu, and you get no static
oh and a lot of people use apache fans for these type of coolers, quieter than the corsair one and nearly as much airflow

Thanks for the Replys guys (I have actualy already orderd the fans for the Build they are:

Front 200mm > http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-021-BX
Side 230mm > http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-022-BX
Rear 120mm > http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-014-CM
Top 2x120 > http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-005-CS

I had also sent message to Corsair (similar to my first post), I got there Reply this morning:

"In the video it looks like he mounted the fans as an intake, bringing air into the case through the top, however i would recommend setting up these fans as an exhaust. Heat naturally rises so it makes sense to have the top of your case as the main exhaust as you have in your diagram.
Also, i don't think you will need to mount the stock fans to the bottom of the radiator, unless you are planning on running a very high overclock. Just 2 fans should be sufficient for a slight overclock or stock configuration. adding the other fans will create much more noise."

over all im feeling a little more confidant now about everything, so a Big thank you to those who posted (not just here but in other posts)

Thanks4Everything.

Really, you should have gone with the high static pressure Corsair fan, but the airflow ones will be alright.

Can you report back on how the 230mm fits in the side panel?

Can you report back on how the 230mm fits in the side panel?

I plan to mod the side panel to fit the fan. (I will be taking pictures throughout the Build to throw together in a slide video) Ill try to take extra pics of that part & will post a link to the video here when its done

unfortunatly im having some problems with the order so it may not be till late next week before any of this happens
