Hello everyone,
I had a quick question and wondered if anyone more experienced than I could help. I was planning on building my new PC with an air cooled Corsair 780t case. My plan for cooling was to have three Noctua NF-S12A 120mm fans at the front and one same fan at the bottom for intake, and one NF-A14 140mm fan at the rear and two more of the same fans at the top for my exhausts. I am also going with a NH-D15 CPU cooler which will blow towards the rear exhaust fan. Could the top two 140mm exhausts interfere with the airflow to my CPU cooler? I can’t imagine the top rear fan would, as that should just help to exhaust hot air from my CPU cooler, but wouldn’t the top middle fan just end up exhausting cool air out of my case that otherwise would have entered my CPU cooler?
TLDR: Do top exhaust fans interfere with airflow to a CPU air cooler?
Thanks for the help!
