Thanks for the idea. When you speak about the low noise adaptors on the radiator, are you speaking about these special models? http://noctua.at/en/products/product-line-redux/nf-b9-redux-1600-pwm/specification
Thanks for the picture, I get your point now.
But does this build includes an intake fan on the side bracket? (I guess not). Would this be enough then with only the ones above the CPU? I have just received the 3.5 HDD and was thinking about switching it for a 2.5 HDD to put on the side of the PSU but now I am not so sure anymore. The switch was meant to free space for an intake fan but I never thought that the HDD itself would need much cooling.
The HDDs should be good without any active cooling. Its just important, as I've said, to exhaust the cpu cooler as I have done in my picture.
It will work fine either way, but the way I have suggested just works best from my experience.
