Hi all

I've just finished my new gaming build and Im trying to optimize my cooling.
Here are some of my components
CPU Ryzen 7800x3d
GPU Sapphire Radeon 7900xt Nitro+
AIO NZXT Kraken 240mm

Currently I have the 2 stock 140mm fans in the front as intake and I have the aio fans (2x 120mm) as exhausts.
I have been wondering if I would get better cooling by getting 3x 120mm fans as intake for the front?
Will having the aio as intake in the front make a big difference?
Or do you guys have any other suggestions?

The two 140mm will pull more air and be quieter than most 3 x 120mm fans.
i have 360 AIO in my North so have to front mount it and have move the two 140mm to the top and have turned them right down. It doesn’t make much difference where you site your AIO as long as the CPU is lower than the highest point of the AIO.

Do you think a 240mm rad could be front mounted with the tubes at the bottom without hitting the GFX card? Never seen it done in this case.
 
You probably need to check the clearance from your gpu.
My gpu is 320mm long and doesnt have much clearance to the front panel and Im guessing it would require the tubes to bend considerably, which is not advisable...

I was thinking about getting something like the be quiet silent wings 4 to the front. Reportedly they are fairly quiet and have very good performance
