You didn't have a rear exhaust?

Actually i'm only using the af140 as exhaust. The 2 front intake are stock fractals and i like them, honestly with this case theres no reason to upgrade. Im even thinking of getting another fractal to replace the af140 just cause it looks cleaner imo. Also the AF140s dont really fit securely in the front fan mounting thing.

That being said, the AF140s will perform better and quieter, but it costs more than twice as much as the fractal fans iirc.

Yeah I looked at going with the core 1000, my only issue is that it doesn't support a dual 120 rad in the top of the case. As my build i will be using water cooling. biggrin.gif By doing a custom water-cooling loop i hope to hit 4.5ghz or 5ghz rolleyes.gif

You can use the mounting holes to screw the fans in place. (I use AF140's as intakes, secures them so they don't come loose if you move your case)

Was able to test Noctua NF-A140 FLX and ULN today, and while they were definitely very good fans, I'd only run them at ~800-900RPM for my quiet build, at which speed they are roughly equivalent to the stock Define R4 fans in airflow (subjectively).

You didn't have a rear exhaust?

No. I only had a front intake and a bottom intake. I used my Evo as an exhaust.

I use the Core 1000 and I do reccomend it for low-cost and space builds.
If you are going with a GPU with a refferance/blower design, 1k is awesome. I reccomend not running a say h80in the front as that is the only way for a GPU to get air. Unless you cut out a home for air in the bottom of the case tongue.gif
