I'm new to the forum so please excuse me if this has already been asked
I have CM Centurion 534 with three 120 mm fans installed; One in the front, one of the side, and one at the rear of the case.
The front fan is a Xigmatek fan, not sure of the model, but it spins at around 1400 RPM and puts through around 60 cf/m. I have a very similar fan on my CPU cooler but with the speed at 100% it seems to never reach 1100 RPM.
I have a scythe slipstream (1600 RPM, approx. 90 cf/m) on both the side and rear of the case (side for intake, rear for exhaust).
My question is this: Would I get better results by replacing the side intake with the fan from the CPU cooler? I wouldn't have as much airflow going to my MB or my GPU but neither of them have any problem with temps. I could even put the CPU fan in the front of the case, where much less airflow is required, and put the seemingly more powerful front fan on the side panel.
Thanks in advance for any help!
