Fractal Design Define R5 with Cooler Master Nepton 140XL:
Front intake: Fractal Design GP-14 X2 (low RPM)
Rear exhaust: Fractal Design GP-14 (low RPM)
Heatsink: front mount push only with Noctua NF-F12 PWM just under the optical bay (middle hdd bay is removed)
This setup is very silent, almost dead silent but I can hear bearing of GP-14s so time for an upgrade that can cool SLI GPUs.
My idea is to get 2x Silent Wings 3 (3-pin) for case but I don't know what to get for push-pull on 140XL and I hope you can help me. I am trying to stick to dark theme, F12 was leftover from CM 212X days and I use it now because stock CM JetFlos are standing up to their name, jets.
My other dilemma is about static pressure vs air flow fans: will best 140mm SP fan move air from the case as AF optimized fan?
p.s. Price is not on debate this time and only radiator I could fit and still like the looks is single 140mm in the front. I hear major coil whine from the pump @100% so maybe I get different brand soon keeping the same layout
