Hi,
First post! So I have a Fractal Arc Mini R2 which has tons of options regarding fan configuration. I have a H100i set up in pull/exhaust on the top with the stock fans.
So far I have the Fractal included 2x120mm fans on the front grille, a Cooler Master 120mm and PSU fan on the bottom. These intakes will be staying as they are.
The issue is with the exhaust fans. With the radiator in pull configuration and toward the rear of the case, the rear fan slot cannot fit a regular thickness fan, but can accommodate an extra 120mm fan on the top. If I move the rad to the front then I can fit both top and rear fans. But the extra fans are not SP fans but rather regular CFM fans. I am wondering:
1. If putting an extra fan next to the rad on top-rear would do anything, and
2. If moving the rad toward the front and putting CFM fans on the top-rear case would do anything, and
3. If two fans next to each other in a corner would create any unwanted turbulence
In the first case, if a rear fan configuration would absolutely benefit performance I am willing to get a slim case fan too.
Which way would be the best to go? Thanks.
(Sorry if I was confusing)
