i have the above case and am just moving to watercooling. my cpu and gpu (not graphics memory) will be watercooled and i will have an externally mounted radiator.

I am going for a quiet system and will put 2x akasa amber 120mm on the radiator, i have a 120mm intake (coolermaster 4 in 1 device) at the front in 3x 5 1/2 inch bays - with my HDDs in. my pump is going in the bottom at the front.

I have 4x akasa amber 80mms left and would like to know what fan layout is the best, and how many fans i should have? I was thinking 1 intake on the side window and 1 exhaust. I have the zalman memory sinks on my graphics memory and as such these will need some airflow over them, also i think my ram would benefit from some air!

so how should i mount them?

thanks

would that be enough to provide a good enough airflow over my graphics ram? if so then - yay :D !!! I might use an additional intake at the bottom if it won't be enough, i suppose the only way to really know is to set it up and see what my temps are like!!

i personally would have 1 fan in, as you need some air flow over your chips. although if you water cool everything then you can do without fans.
