ok i asked this question on another forum, but i want to ask it here.
i have a Sonata 2 case, and i use 3 Noctua S12-1200 at the front, CPU heatsink (Scythe Ninja) and back for exhaust. My guess is it would be better for me to cut the honeycomb vents on the back, and then replace this with a standard 120mm fan grill, to increase airflow.
since the Noctua S12 series are silent with good airflow, but not much air pressure though, so maybe some of that air have a hard time passing thru the honeycomb holes since it's low on air pressure.
what do you think?
