Considered corsair sp fans? Stuck two sp 120's on my cooler, pretty comparable to the piranhas i have but look better with the red rings on.

I have the Cosair's on the the Enthoo.

If I'm honest, if the colours didn't match the theme I wouldn't use them.

As once passed 1200 rpm they become annoying :(
 
PUSH OR PULL OR PUSH/PULL

Right I know there's a few peeps that have strong opinions on the pro's and con's of this.

I've read up and asked questions to the point of frying my little brain

I will be cooling a 3930k/RIVE and 3 Titans.

I have 2 x 480's (SR1 + RX) and a RX 240 plus 2 x D5's

Fan choice is between these -

Akasa Piranha's (new pretender) or GT 1850's (tried and tested performer)

Undecided on a single or dual loops, favouring dual at the mo.

Now that's out the way my problem is do I

1 - Set them in push or pull

2 - Set them up in push/pull - yes I have enough fans

This is how I intend to set it up



Red arrows = airflow

A or B will be where the 240 is being fitted, I also have the option of adding another 360 in the bottom if required.

Looking at using a dual bay res/pump at the mo, as I already have the res.
 
If one 480 is at top i'd use that for cpu/mobo and have fans on push

Ditch the 240 and get a 360 to go along with the 480 in the bottom for the gpu's, this would leave the front to get some fresh air in around your components

Looking good - Really like the matt black tubing.

My SM8 should be here next week - Can't wait to get some Caselabs quality.

Cheers, giving this a whirl and if it doesn't look the part - acrylic will be next :eek:

Thought about that too, but if I put the 240 at A I'll still get decent air flow

I agree with Nickolp, but having said that I think your idea of the 240 will work ok - If you can stand the extra work why not try both, and see which is best on testing?

Personally good airflow over the gpu's will outweigh the need for the 240 if you got 360+480 in the bottom.
If i could lose my front rad i would like a shot. Wish they made a pedestal for my case. :(

Nah, you 2 make a good point. :)

Airflow and max radage space was the reason behind getting this case.

Will chuck the 240 down below as I already have it, can always swap it out later if required :)

Only too happy to give our opinions to hopefully help. Think you have now reached the happy medium - as you say you can always swap out the 240 raf later if needed. Nice project - keep going.
