Hi all,
I have a Ryzen 2600X cooled by the NZXT Kraken X62 - it's fans and temps are controlled via a USB header and the CUE software.
The 280mm radiator is mounted vertically in the front of the case, with the 2x 140mm NZXT fans that came with the Kraken pulling air in and pushing through the radiator, into the case.
In the rest of my Cooltek W2 case, I've moved the 2x Be Quiet Silent Wings140mm fans to the bottom, pulling air in.
They're connected to the case's in-built controller (0v, 7v or 12v). Only the rear most fan spins (fan and controller cable have been tested and both are fine), whilst the forward-most fan is still.
I also have a single 120mm Silent Wings fan as an exhaust, connected to a Mobo header, above the GPU (EVGA 2080Ti XC Ultra), which doesn't seem to be exhausting as well as it should.
There's a single 90mm fan above the SSDs in the rear compartment, exhausting out of the case - whether or not it's necessary, I don't know.
I know it's not ideal for cooling, but having three small Crotch-Frogs, I keep my rig in an IKEA Besta cabinet, as part of my AV setup. I open the door when the computer is on and I've mounted a 120mm Silent Wings fan to the back of the cupboard to help exhaust warm air - this is perpendicular to the 120mm exhaust fan in the case.
Setup is here (a stock image of the case, with a potato image of my setup)

I'd like to know if I'm better off putting the bottom two fans on their own Mobo headers? (mainboard is a Gigabyte X470 Ultra Gaming) as there's a few spare headers for water pumps &;fans if needed.
