Hello,

I may or may not purchase a Fractal Design Define 7XL for my next build and I have a question about fans. Since the case has a filtered front I want fans which will be effective at pull air through the filters whilst still providing high cfm.

Are there any fans you would recommend for this? The sound of the fans aren't a huge issue as I game with a headset, so unless they are so loud someone on the floor below me could hear it noise doesn't bother me too much.

I was planning on having 4 120mm fans at the front instead of 3 140mms. I know the 4 120mms will only provide slightly better cooling than 3 140mms but I want to prioritise good cooling over low noise.

Thanks!
 
Okay, thanks for the help everyone.

What would your opinion be on the best fan layout for the Define 7 XL? Three 140mm fans in the front and one at the rear? Would one 140mm intake at the bottom help with GPU temps?
