[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

[Swat 3]

2 in front, 1 on the bottom, 2 on my radiator for the CPU. I was an idiot and decided to move the fan fromt he back to the bottom in an effort to reduce dust by having 3 intake fans, however i for that i had carpet so my bottom fan isn't doing much. I need to moving my bottom fan back to the back and get a 140mm fan for the bottom, and then raise my computer or put it on a smooth surface so that i can properly use it.

pls never put computer cases above carpet
pls
never

Both top are exhaust, I have one rear exhaust but a rad is covering it, and all three in front are intake.


Probably should of gotten two 120mm fans instead of 140mm, but the 120mm fans where out of stock.
Or what if I replace the three 120mm in the front with two 140mm fans?

So should I or no?
My case is the NZXT H440.

Idea is to replace the three 120mm fans in the front with two 120mm or replace the two top 140mm fans with two 120mm fans.
The fans I use are the NZXT FN2 Fans (Non-PWM)

#1 Rule : Never put your PC On top of carpet, it kills your PSU, and fills it with dust, I am not sur if this rule applies to hard tile or wooden flooring though.

I don't exactly have a choice, so that rule doesn't apply here.
I would like to have it on my desk but my desk isnt big enough for my computer

Get two chairs and put it on top of those, the ground is a hell of a place for one, I'm sure you will be abale to manage something, even though we have no idea what your desk even looks like.

I've always had my cases on the floor. :O

Nah, that'll just worsen the problem. If your case has a side intake you could try moving one of the top 140mm fans there, although you might need to buy a separate dust filter. Something like this should work: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4TZ2SN7480

As long as your computer is sitting on something you're good. I have it on a board, PSU sucking from bottom vent too.

i bought those really hard floor mats for cars and put mine on top of it
mine also stands pretty high off the ground with its legs so its not an issue

Installed this in my drive bay yesterday.

Now I have control of all 4 of my case fans, on the go.
By "on the go" I meant if you're running a high intensity program(s)/game to you don't need to open a seprate program to set the fan speeds blah blah blah

You make 5.12 inch bays look awesome again.

NZXT H440 has no side intakes.
