In bed, asleep.
So I'm nearly ready to pull the trigger on my new build and in the process of finalising the last details realised I hadn't considered the fan setup for the new case. There's going to be a Corsair H150i PRO XT going into the top of the case, and I know the 5000D comes with 2 preinstalled fans, but I was looking to swap them out for better. I was going to go 2 or 3 at the front and then 1 at the rear, and leave the 150i fans where they were (push setup).

I was looking at the Noctua NF-S12B redux-1200 fans, but I'm open to anything. I think the case supports 140mm fans too but I'm not 100% on that. RGB doesn't matter, just want the best fans. Graphics card is a 3090 FE if it matters.
 
I have the Noctua D14 cooler so I managed to put 6 X Thermaltake ARGB fans in, 3 intake at front, 1 exhaust at rear and 3 exhaust at the top, I could add more but I couldn't see any huge benefit to cooling, here's a peek...


The 3090 Founders Edition has been nice and cool in this case, similar temps to my old Coolermaster Haf case.
 
Nice little video thanks. Useful that you have a 3090 FE in there too as that's what's going in mine. I ended up going with the Noctua fans. Can't wait to build the system this week.

Will do man. It won't be the most exciting looking build as the only RGB is on the RAM and that was more because it was the best 64GB kit I could get. Went for the non RGB Corsair 150i too. Anyway, parts were ordered Saturday night so it should all turn up tomorrow or Wednesday hopefully!
