that will be more than enough man. I have the same case with the stock single intake and single exhaust, and run a Corsair A50 for CPU and my system does just fine... CPU in 30's and GPU in 50's.

This case has a lot of passive airflow like the top and left side panel which keep it nice and cool.

welcome to the forum,

it'll all be a trial and error process. to find the ultimate air-flow of a case is a
lot of testing different fans and locations/positions of fans, to find out if they
are beneficial or hurting performance. we'd only be able to give you a
template to start with and you'd have to evaluate if that is good or bad for your
specific layout and temperature zone. but so far i'd say it is a good start.

my input would be if you dont use an optidrive, is use the roof fan in the
optibay and push air to the CPU cooler. the roof fan (depending on how
strong it is can distrupt the air to the CPU cooler) can be sacrificed. again
you'd have to load the system, evaluate if the temps got better, worse or
the same.

i think i have 65hrs of testing on my midi with 14 different fans and think
i have a good combination for what i am using the system as.

What airdeano says is good advice.

I would keep rear exhaust and move everything else to front intake. Remove all PCI slot covers to allow air out.

What GPU are you using? Might be able to direct cool intake air directly to GPU intake. wink.gif

How many of those fans are connected the the motherboards headers and more importantly, how many of those headers are 4-pin PWM.
You can get by with fewer fans if you have the ability to regulate them -either through the UEFI/BIOS or some other controller- depending on conditions.

I don't really recommend ever using the side/bottom fans because they create more noise than they are worth. What you have looks good since when I tested the bottom/side fans it just added dust and disrupted front-to-back flow.

a 4 fan setup 1 side 1 rear 2 front reduce 15ªC gpu temps stock, 10ªC OCed, so a side fan is needed if he oced the video card, sometimes 560ti TFII/III were hotter than other cards
