Fractal Define S air cooling set-up

[Legend]

All the talk about this being an amazing case for water cooling, is it going to be a top performer for air? I am looking at putting a Dark Rock Pro 3 in one, with x2 (maybe x3) 140mm intake up front and x1 140mm exhaust at the rear? Would I need to utilise the top fan mounts, or can the moduvents be left in place? This will be for an X99 5820k system, which will be OC'd, and a reference 980. Any thoughts?

Hi, I have the r5 (basically the same case) with dual 140s in the front, dark Rock pro 3 on an over clocked 6600k and a 980ti and I never have any temp or noise issues. In fact in run all fans on slow and temps are still fine. The GPU never downclocked due to heat and the i5 has never hit 60c. And to top all that off the whole thing is silent thanks to the sound proofing. I doubt you would need to put any fans in the top.
