I just bought the sleek minimalist nzxt s340 mid tower case and I plan to use 2 GTX 980 Ti in it along with an i7 processor and All-In-One water cool all three units. I wanted to use the NZXT Kraken X61 280mm for the i7 processor on the motherboard taking up the air flow from the front of the case, and use two NZXT Kraken X31 for the fan opening on the upper back on the case and the fan opening on the rear-part of the top of the case.
First several questions,
1.) from the pictures of the Kraken X31s the length of the tubes seem kinda short - if I install these from the top and rear fans will they be able to reach the GTX 980s installed near the bottom back of the case?
2.) Air flow of the case. I'm going to be using every single fan opening meaning there will be no fans at all circulating air into the case (I assume the closed loop system sucks in all the air into their tubes and leave none just passing by their fans) is this going to be ok? All the fan openings will be taken and replace with fan taking air IN to fuel the water cooling. Will the other components such as the RAM or VRAM overheat due to stale air?
3.) The NZXT S340 top fan opening - I know this is an awkward opening to install a water cooling intake fan in as most people do it from the front air intake or the rear fan as the top opening is usually meant to push hot air out - will there be any issues with replacing the top fan opening? Is there be enough space to fit both X31s without bumping into each other or the motherboard?
Thank you for your help!
