Hey everyone soo i pretty much have most of my parts for my new build but i have a couple of question with my case.. I bought the the NZXT Phantom Phan-001BK. I'm going to add on a about 5 five fans. Note that this case all ready comes with 4 fans. I was planning to add a 140mm Fan in the front, Two 200MM fans one on the top and another on the left side, Then two 120mm fans on the left side. Now my big question is that since the Case is NZXT am i required to get NZXT fans cause right now they are little expensive especially the 120mm fans i saw a couple of Cooler master fans on sale and i was wondering if they would be compatible and would fit in the case.. Last question is i hear that adding fans to the side of your case will disrupt airflow and increase temperatures. I also hear that side fans do not increase temps if they are blowing out not in. if anyone can confirm if side fans do disrupt airflow that would be great and figure out if i need to buy nzxt fans or coolermaster fans are compatible that would be awsome! thanks have a great day cheers!
Are coolermaster fans compatable?
Yes.
Does adding fans on the side increase temps?
Hell no.
I was actually wondering about side panel fans, are they an issue with getting unplugged as you take off the side panel? Knowing me I would do that....a lot
ok thanks so much guys :D
Let's put it this way... how do you expect to take your side panel off without unplugging the side fan? Just plug it back in after you're done poking around. I really don't see why this would be an issue.
