Hello Guys
New to here and ready to build a new desktop computer,
not playing games a lot but always keep computer 24 hours running in my room

ASUS P9X79 WS
Intel i7 3930K
16GB Corsair Vengeance
120GB Corsair Force GT with RAID 0
Creative Sound BLASTER X-Fi Titanium HD
ASUS nVIDIA GeForce GTX560 Ti 1GB GDDR5 X2 SLI connected
Thermaltake Toughpower XT PLATINUM 1275W

Aerocool V12xt fan controller
Coolermaster HAF X
Corsair H100

The HAF X have
x1 200mm Top Fan 700RPM / 19dBA / 110CFM (exhaust) i think it's coolermaster megaflow
x1 140mm Rear Fan 1000RPM / 19dBA / 61CFM (exhaust)
x1 230mm Front Fan 700RPM / 19dBA / 110 CFM (intake)
x1 200mm Side Fan 700RPM / 19dBA / 110CFM (intake)

and I already purchased another
x1 200mm Top Fan 700RPM / 19dBA / 110CFM (exhaust) megaflow
x1 120mm "GPU Air Duct" Fan 600-2000RPM / 13-30dBA / 26.4-85.6CFM (intake) Cooler Master Excalibur

my question are

-----------------question #1-------------------------
H100 there is 4 fan can be mount push and pull position like this guy doing

but if i put the radiator + 4 push pull fan under the two 200mm top fan
is that going to be any good?
is it gonna block the fan so that the heat are harder to get out of the case??
or it's gonna help the heats getting out for the whole case ??

---------------question #2-----------------------------
and also since my main purpose are getting a nearly quiet as possible configuration
my thought is the whole H100 set it on "First level - quiet mode"
is this for the even the original fan come with H100 going to be loud?
and i will have to get another 2 fan for the H100 in order to do the push and pull
do i have to make all of them the same fan??
or i dont have than if i bought another fan that's quiet fan like "antec true quiet"
do you guys suggest me to do this?
because i don't know anything about the pressure and stuff and stuff
or should i just get 4 of them replace the original fan come with H100?

--------------question #3-----------------------------
and i want to purchased another silent 120mm fan as a (intake) to put in the front drive bay like this guy
http://forum.overclock3d.net/index [...] t-fan-mod/

is this useless?
gonna make more noise or its gonna help?

-------------question #4-----------------------------
the haf x do come with the bottom slot but with no mounting screws point
is it good to put another 120mm fan on the bottom as a (intake)??
is this gonna block the wiring the power supply cable management partition???

-------------question # 5-------------------------
i have aerocool V12xt 4 fan controller to control 4 fans
My planning is to control
front 230mm intake
front 120mm intake
bottom 120mm intake
air duct 120mm intake

my motherboard come with 4 chassis fan connector
my planning is to control
rear 140mm exhaust
top 200mm exhaust
top 200mm exhaust
side 200mm intake

and there is 4 fan controller on H100
with 4 fan push and pull around the radiator

Any suggestion on this setup??????

-----------------question #6------------------
all the 120mm fan include
H100 x4 120mm fan
front 120mm intake
bottom 120mm intake

If i want to be more quiet no matter the price and the airflow?
or the airflow is important??

which quiet fan you guys suggest for me??

------------------------------------------------------------

sorry for whole bunch of question
please help me out for my first computer building
i want this to be phenomenal

Thanks again to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best Regards
 
Hey, welcome to OCF! :beer:

When trying to recommend a build to you, there's some information that's extremely helpful for us to know. If you could answer these few short questions, we'd be happy to help!

  • What are you planning to do with this compuer? Please be as specfic as possible.
  • What is your budget?
    1. Does this include a copy of Windows?
    2. Does this include peripheals (a keyboard, monitor, mouse, speakers, etc.)?
  • Are you from the United States or a different country? Are you ordering from your own country or from across borders?
    1. Wherever you may be from, does the store that you are planning to order from have a website? It's okay if it isn't in English, we can manage.
  • Do you have any specific requests with the build?
    1. Do you plan on overclocking? If yes, do you have a specific goal in mind?
    2. Would you prefer the build to be particularly small?
    3. Would you prefer the build to be particularly quiet?
    4. In general, do you prefer this to be a computer that you can spend money on now and let it rest, or a box built for continuous upgrading?
    5. Do you ever plan on utilizing NVIDIA's SLI or AMD's CrossfireX technologies? These features, with a compatible motherboard, allow a user to link multiple identical graphic cards together for added performance. In real world terms, this lets you buy a second identical graphics card down the line as a relatively cheap and easy way to gain a fairly large boost in performance. However, this requires buying a SLI/CFX compatible motherboard and PSU now, which may result in slightly higher initial cost
Once again, thank you in advannce for taking the time to answer these, and I hope you enjoy your stay at OCF! :)

Oh, you didn't make it clear that you already had the parts.

1. Take out the top fans, replace it with the H100 Radiator.
2. The H100 fans are fairly loud, replace them with some Cougar Vortex or Scythe GentleTyphoons.

3-4. You already have an unnecessary amount of fans, no to add more. Usually a single front intake and a top/back exhaust is plenty of airflow.

You should have:
Front 230mm intake
Side 200mm intake
Back 140mm exhaust
Top - H100 radiator in exhaust with 4x120mm push/pull.

That's all you need.
