Get what ever is easiest for you...the H80 performs almost as good as the H100, like I said, just flip the fans turning the rear fan into intake instead of exhaust to keep positive pressure in the case and you'll be fine...

and post pictures of your computer after you put it all together

Sure i will. probably will go like a month tho.

to make sure i understand this perfectly.

this is the h80 radiator |

this is where the now show me where the air should points with arrows and the radiator in the middle.

In the picture you posted earlier, it shows that the rear 140mm fan is an exhaust...but you are adding a second 200mm to the top, and reducing the front fan from a 230mm to a 200mm fan...so I suggest when you put the H80 on that you make it an intake instead of exhaust...

so both fans with the air flow coming into the case on each side of the radiator

Won't this create some kind of negative air flow ?

2x 200mm in (front, side)
2x 140mm in (rear)
and 2x 200m out (top)

in your opinion -->|-->

this is probably my final question.
everything will be in order after this.

Positive - there is more fresh air coming into the case than there is hot air exiting the case. Basically, the CFM from intake fans exceeds the CFM from exhaust fans.

Negative - there is more air exiting the case via exhaust fans than fresh air entering the case via intake fans and vents. The CFM for exhaust fans exceeds the CFM from intake fans.


Hope that helps

Thanks for the don8 too...just noticed lol...hope to have 70k+ my self one day (dreaming) lol

Thanks, in the Haf X i believe its better with more fresh air getting ind than exhausting out from fans. the Haf X is pretty open

No problem, the help was definitely worth the 100 FG

could always drop the h80 and go with d14 or the Silver Arrow

NEVER make fans or radiator fans on the rear of the case as intakes....all that accomplishes is sucking IN all the hot air the Vid Card and PSU are exhausting ^^

/e same can be said for top intakes...unless you LIKE your case half full of dust ^^

Damnit -.-
So you recommend the 2x 120mm on the H80 to exhausting ?

This is known information...you put an intake above a vid card exhaust...it'll just suck all that hot exhaust right back into case and / or thru raditor
