Hey guys.

I'm getting a new corsair 350d case. I'm aiming towards positive air pressure.

Currently I have 3 akasa apache black fans. 120mm each. 57 cfm each.

Thinking about putting 2 in the front and 1 in the back...Should I keep them or maybe get some noctua fans?

I'm not sure if the extra 40 cfm from 2 noctua 140mm would benefit me much.

Thanks!
 
Increasing the difference between intake and exhaust is good or bad in my case? On one had there will be more air coming in but I'm not sure if I that's okay because the difference could be too much if I put 2x noctuas.
 
Not sure... test it. I am personally not a huge fan of positive pressure (pressure is relative as it isn't a sealed case) as it can create hot spots... about the only benefit I see with positive pressure is it keeps dust from coming in your case through the cracks only.
