Okay, I couldn't really find any information about this, but I'm about to get this cooler and do a 3 fan config with front fan pushing, one center fan also pushing and the rear fan pulling.

Now should I bother using a rear case exhaust fan? I've read that I should take it out. Rig is my sig for my case and everything.

Thanks

Here's ehume's guide on how to add the 3rd fan and if he were here, he'd tell you to take out that rear exhaust fan and cut out the fan grill.

And here's another one that's a good reading for any NH-D14 owners.

yea I read that, he posted saying to take out the rear case exhaust and the grill, but just wanting some more opinions

Edit: Which fans would be the best combo?

I'm still pretty far from getting to the best combo. But so far I love the TY-140 with two GT AP-14's. Not the most powerful but soft and sweet with great cooling on the D14.

As for that rear fan and grill, look at item 2 in my sig. I think that pretty well proves you don't need a rear fan if you have no rear grill.

No real numbers on the combos except what I have posted. Right now I'm doing an emergency Firefox 4 update on my Aeon and Scribblies themes. I wasn't intending to update, but users begged and fellow themers said it wasn't too bad. Well, it is bad but not impossible, which is what I thought before. So fan testing is taking a break for now. Having to re-learn css.

So I'm assuming the front should be pushing, the middle pushing and rear pulling?

So something like this?

Rear Exhaust<<<< Airflow << Rear Fan << Center Fan <<< Front Fan <<< Airflow

Almost. Remove your rear grill and fan (see item 2 in my sig). Then you have:

Rear Opening<<<< Airflow << Rear Fan << Center Fan <<< Front Fan <<< Airflow

Much quieter. Goes better with your quiet heatsink.
