I guess that's true, it depends if the card is open or closed. If it has exposed heat fins then the side fan will help, but if it doesn't, like my card, then it won't really.

OP I have the same fan setup. 140 + 120 intake, 120 exhaust.
I am using Khulher 620 mods on my GPUs though, which are the exhaust fans, 1 on rear, 1 on door.

I don't think you need a top fan honestly, the open air design lets the front Intake fans create a strong airflow path and I can feel the air being pulled through the top grill into the CPU fan.

This case breaths on its' own smile.gif

LL

I found the top fan to just make a lot of uneeded noise.
For an internal GPU cooler I'd just have 1 120mm as intake on the door positioned whichever slot fits better over the GPU.

The 140mm fan just pulls huge amounts of air in this case smile.gif

Looks good. I do have one suggestion though.

I always try and have more exhaust fans than intake fans. This will reduce the dust buildup inside of the case. I can't explain why (very well at least), but I've heard it has to do with the pressure change associated with the airflow.

yes, CPU vent will go out the back exhaust and escape out of the top a little bit.

so last decision is two low cfm from front, noctua nh-d14 on procesor and high cfm exhaust on back and one low cfm noctua 120mm on top, and add one 120mm from side for better cooling graphics card?

With the 2 fans on the Noctua a top fan will only cause airflow turbulence.
Honestly the 140mm front intake fan pulls so much air into this small case it is really all you need for clean air to the CPU. The Noctua will also naturally pull cool air from the top vent on its' own. This creates a clean air stream from front to back.

I really think a top intake fan will only interfere with the front to back airstream.

The 120mm on side is good for the GPU, yup.
