I’m trying to setup my case for more efficient air cooling. I am thinking about the below setup, but am unsure as if I have too much intake and not enough exhaust, causing the hot air to remain in the case.

Intake:

(1)Front – Scythe S-Flex SFF21E, 1200RPM 49CFM
(4) Side – Scythe S-Flex SFF21D, 800RPM 33.5CFM

Exhaust:

(1)Top – Scythe S-Flex SFF21F, 1600RPM 63CFM
(1)Rear – Scythe S-Flex SFF21F, 1600RPM 63CFM

CPU:

Enzotech Ultra-X

I am open to other fan suggestions as I am concentrating on cooling with noise and a minimal concern. I welcome all constructive criticisms, suggestions, recommendations, etc.

Thanks,

JD
 
I have the exact same setup as you except I use 5 Yate Loons + 2 stock fans instead the of Scythes - I figured no matter how much longer the Scythes lasted they aren't worth the 2.5x price premium ($6 vs $15). The Yate Loons are 1350 RPM I think and they are very quiet.

As for intake/exhaust balance I wouldn't worry about it too much. Balance is essential for cases that don't have much airflow to begin with, but we don't have that problem with the Stacker ;). If you use dust filters, then having more intake than exhaust is a good thing because the positive pressure will force incoming air through the filters.
 
Sorry i can't be of any help, but i was wondering what PSUs you two have in your Stackers. I'm interested in getting either the Stacker 832 or 830 Evolution, but i'm concerned whether a Silverstone OP1000 will fit.

What power supplies are you using, in which variant of the case, and how much room is there between the top fan bracket.

Thank you for your help. Again, sorry for the off-topicness.

I thought about the Yate Loons, but I really wanted fans with just the 3-pin connectors. I'm trying to keep the cables clean and want to utilize the cabling system on the side panel fans and then connect them all to this http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_289&products_id=603.
 
I never really thought about it. I guess I just assumed that since there is an adapter made for it, that it should work. I guess I will find out this weekend.

Now i've thought about it, it should definitely work. I mean, fan controllers are powered by a single molex connector and they can control 4 fans, right?
 
It didn't quite work the way i wanted it to. I kind of missed the part on it that stated (2) are 5v pins and the other (2) are 12v.
