help with fan setup
Hey everybody. As soon as i get my grubby hands on my new rig I want to overclock like crazy. With that Im gonna need the best fan placement help i can get. So obviously I came to PC Mech. I will be getting a Sunbeam Transformer case with all the fans (2X 80mm on side window, 120mm front intake, 120mm rear exhaust, 80mm top blowhole, controlled by thermaltake hardcano fan controller 13). Which fans do you recommend being the intakes and which the exhausts? Thanx for your help. BTW heres the specs:

Fronts are intakes. Rears are exhaust. Top is exhaust. Sides are intakes.

If you want maximum airflow (especially on the 120mm ones) get some Delta Fans. The 120mm ones push nearly 200CFM but they're loud.

If you are going to do heavy OCing, probably will need to think about getting an aftermarket HSU like from Zalman. Other people here should know what is good for your CPU.
