case help

[johnlee19869]

hi currently building my first pc, i have the nzxt h7 flow 2024 case and it has fan fittings :

front 3x120mm or 3x140mm
back 1x120mm or 140mm
top 3x120mm or 2x140mm
bottom 3x120mm
i have so far bought but not installed 3x Thermalright TL-C12C-S 120mm for the bottom intake, 3x Thermalright TL-C14C 140mm for the front intake, my question is do i get another 140mm x3 Thermalright TL-C14C to split between the back exhaust and the top exhaust or do i get 2 of the Be quiet Pure Wings 3 140mm PWM Fans to do the same. the Thermalright TL-C14C x3 are £11.67 and the be quiet pure wings will be £20, another quick question do a put the different fan section eg front,back+top,bottom on separate fan connectors on the motherboard or should i(cable length permintting)plug them all into a powered fan hub.hope someone can help.

People call me crazy for saying this, but with all that intake, exhaust is going to happen with or without exhaust fans. My Fractal Torrent has 2x180mm front intake and 3x120mm bottom intake. No exhaust fans. No cooling issues.

In your particular case, going clockwise from the top front fan, I'd group fans 1+2, and 3+4+5+6.
Fans 1+2 respond to CPU temp, 3 to 6 respond to GPU temp.
If you can control fan speed via the powered hub then that's ideal for the group of four fans.

It's not silly and it's well known. Silverstone used this for their cases (16+ years ago!)
