I am planning on getting a Corsair Airflow 5000d (1x 120mm fan included), Ryzen 7800X3D and MSI Suprim X 4090 for gaming and am now thinking about the cooling. I am not going for flashy LEDs and need the system to be as quiet as possible.

For the CPU - I am thinking about a Noctua NH-D15 Dual Radiator Quiet CPU Cooler with 2 NF-A15 fans
For the Case - I am thinking about 4x Be Quiet! Silent Wings 4 140mm High Speed PWM fans

Will they keep the case well cooled? Any similar priced better/quieter alternatives? Would a greater number of 120mm fans be a better option?

Thanks
 
From past experience with that case I'd go for 120MM fans, I tried 4x 140MM Noctua and they lasted all of 24 hours before I took them out due to the noise.

I'd put 3x 120MM in the front,
1 in the rear,
1 in the roof if you go for the D15 or you could go for the U12A which has a smaller footprint (the d15 fans will still right up to the glass side panel)
Thanks for the insight, I'll probably go for the 120mm fans then due to wanting to keep the noise levels down and just googled the U12A and agree its probably the better option. Thanks!
 
Just been googling similar setups to what I am planning to go with and have realised the inside of the case looks very crowded with a big CPU air cooler and a 4090, virtually all builds go with liquid cooling.

Will the U12A cause any issues re. airflow in my case sitting right above the 4090? Or would I be better off liquid cooling my CPU to allow better airflow in my case?
