The Best PC Case Fan Setup - How Many, What Size, and Where, feat. Arctic 120/140mm Fans!
In this video, I tried to put together benchmarks that you've never seen anywhere, answering just about every question you've ever had (and a few you've probably never thought of) when it comes to optimizing a case cooling setup. I tested Arctic's P12 (120mm) fans and P14 (140mm) fans, using the 5-packs for each, and adding a sixth 120mm fan to max out the be quiet! Pure Base 500DX case I used for benchmarking.
