Well about the front fan i found this thread:

I'd say the might have done what the did with the 932/922 and included the mounting holes for a smaller fan to be installed. I'm sure a HAF owner will be able to tell you more

Both the 230mm and 200mm fan blades are identical. The mounting holes are identical, but the 230mm has a thicker frame that limits its compatibility to CM cases. You will have no trouble mounting 200mm megaflow fan on the front.



else i would be able to buy this one in Denmark, if it fits:

(230mm)

But I'm totally clueless. are you able to find out of this ?

Did a little research my self, you should be fine putting a 200mm fan in the front. It might be a little tricky getting a second 200mm in the top from what I've read, but if you use the h100, you won't have to worry about it...I'd start with just 2 120mm fans, and install it to see how much room you have, and if there's space, get 2 more to mount on the h100 for a push/pull config, then you can run all 4 fans + the rear fan to the fan controller, and the front/side fans as well...


Also if your capable of re-wiring, you could piggy back all of the led fans to the top controller of the Haf X so that the switch turns on/off all of the lef fans installed :P

And another option too is to change out the LED's of the 230mm front fan yourself from red to blue:


Here's a guide how:

Alright the next result:
H100 in the top with 2x with Cooler Master SickleFlow 120mm
rear Cooler Master SickleFlow 120mm
Side Cooler Master MegaFlow 200mm
front Side Cooler Master MegaFlow 200mm

If you believe this is the best result. please tell what one should exhaust and intake the air.
and how do i decide which one does what ?

or wait, do the h100 exchange place with the 2x 200m or is they attracted right under those fans ?

The H100 would replace the 2x 200mm top fans and attach directly to the inside top of the case, the 2x 120mm fans attach to the radiator and then you attach the radiator to the case, if you do a push pull config you would attach fans to both sides of the radiator.

As for intake/exhaust, the front 200mm fan should be intake, the side should be intake, and the rear + top 120's will be exhaust. All of the fans should have some kind of marker/arrow to indicate air flow direction...

Nice...might be interesting to see the temps w/ 2x 200mm on top pulling and the 2x 120mm pushing below them haha...guess that's a really really big case :P

Although that first video, it looks like he said he has them blowing air into the case, I don't agree with that orientation...I think they should be blowing out, especially with no filters on those top fans...

Yeah definitely. the heat should get out in the rear and top.

OMG air circulation is a nightmare ^_^
Donated some gold to show you my appreciation.

Btw just saved 320$ by splitting my purchase over 3 different sites :thumbsup:

nice lol, yeah that design he had going.. who tries forcing air downwards... heat rises so its best to let it naturally let it rise with a little added help. trying to tell it to go downwards and out the single 120mm fan.....

He said in his video that he wanted the Hydro to dump the air from the top downtowards the 580 yet has a 120mm fan stealing anything that may try to get close to the 580 lol....

I don't think he knows how air works LOL

I know right :P



lol just finished watching the second video, that guy has 4x 120mm fans on the H100 + the 2x 200mm on top of that...seems like a lot of turbulence and noise, doubt it cools any better, you can only get so much performance out of that Rad w/ that small of tubing heh

Post pictures of what ?

well the easily combination would be H80 with 2x 120mm, 4x 200m. All from Cooler Master.
Are you sure this would create the wrong kind of ventilation ?
