Hi all, I've spent the past few days looking this up but i can't find anything specifically similar to my situation.
I'm using a meshify 3 standard case, not XL, badly needs a mid size inbetween but it is what it is.
The case only allows a 280 aio at the top and a 360 aio at the front, after this i really just have a rear fan slot.
Cpu is 280 arctic freezer 3 pro cooling a 9550x3d, it's mounted top
Gpu is a 5080 aorus waterforce extreme (aio not wb) on a 360, mounted front.
I have a noctua af-12 for the rear
Option 1. I'm intending to go both intakes for the aios with the rear as exhaust.
Option 2. I could swap rear to be intake and have both aios be exhausts
Option 3. Rear exhaust, top cpu 280 exhaust and front 360 gpu intake.
Option 4. Both intake and no rear exhaust.
Any input would be much appreciated as any info i have found in the days i've spent searching have conflicting results and usually include extra intake or exhaust fan options in sides or bottom which i don't have with this case.
Thanks,
