I currently have eight case fans.
Two are located at the front of the case and blow air towards the back of the case.
One is at the back of the case and blows air back outside the case.
Two are at the bottom of the case and blow air up towards the top of the case.
Three are located at the top of the case and blow air up outside of the case.
The GPU is using the stock cooler that it came with.
The CPU is using a Noctua NH-D14-2011 cooler with two fans attached. These push air out of the back of the case.
When I set the system up I assumed that this configuration would result in the best possible cooling as it would mean that air was being both pushed and pulled over all the components at all times.
Is this a decent set up? I'm having some replacement RAM delivered on Monday so seeing as I have to open up the case for that I thought I'd take the opportunity to fine tune some of the configuration of the cooling.
I have to say from a noise and temperature stand point the current configuration works very well.
