Case fan setup in H440

[The_Ollienator]

Hi guys,

I've decided on Aerocool Dead Silence 120/140mm fans (http://www.scan.co.uk/products/120mm...fdb-fan-121dba) as they are super quiet and for their looks for my H440 build (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gBnTpg).

My question is, do i kit it out with

(A) 5 x 140mm fans for ultra silence
(1 x rear exhaust, 2 x top exhaust, 2 x front intake)
OR
(B) -- 1 x 140mm fan and 6 x 120mm fans
(1 x 140mm rear exhaust, 3 x top 120mm top exhaust, 3 x 120m front intake)

I've got silence in mind, but I also don't want to run too toasty in a case that is already pretty suffocated in terms of airflow.

My Corsair 500R is packed with fans - I have 9 of them.

Generally, I find 120mm fans do well enough. 140s would be quieter, naturally.
But I usually get better cooling if I keep the overall RPMs low on all but the exhausts, than if I whack them up on full chat. This has the added advantage of keeping everything pretty quiet.

nvm - misread the OP

I opened this and the "what chassis" thread in adjacent tabs and read Aerocool Dead Silence thinking you were talking about the DS Cube chassis, not the fans.
