I have an NZXT Phantom 410, with 2 front intake fans, 1 rear exhaust , and 2 exhaust top fans on Corsair H100i.All fans are Corsair AF\SP 120mm quiet edition running at 7V for silence.
Would a side panel 140mm fan be worth installing as intake?
My main problem with side panel fans is that they create A LOT of noise because they're so close to the grill.
In addition, I've read that it is optimal to have positive air pressure in the 410,which I believe the extra 140 fan would achieve.
I don't really have any temp problems, my GTX 770's fans just make some rattling noise after 70% which could be fixed by lowering the fan curve, if the side panel fan helps with cooling the GPU.
