--- Quote from: Tatsujin on August 17, 2013, 06:49:16 PM ---How about H110 and 2x Corsair AF140. Mount them to the side panel of the Blackhawk Ultra and mounting the AF140 to the other side of the radiator for more airflow.
The questions: Would they fit on the side panel? Which direction should the air be blowing? Inside the case or outside?
What do you guys think?

You would have to remove it every time you opened the case and be careful no to drop it when removing it. I've seen that the best is with the fans set up as exhaust, Unless there crazy high static pressure.

don't use corsair's AF on rads or sinks, they are meant for free-flow and not slapped against a bottlenecked array of fins.
the rad as a side-intake in horizontal position in-line with the rams and vrm heatsinks should result with lower overall temps on the entire motherboard as well.
wouldn't the overall cost be ridiculous though? closed-loop + fans ends up at over $140, nearly twice the price of D14.
the extra 2c shaved for the additional cost isn't gonna be worth it, you should just target maintaining temps at under 70c, in which case a stock D14 should be plenty capable of, even with OCed to 4.2Ghz.
haswell's OC lottery sucks though, it seems theres a lot less people reaching higher than 4.5Ghz not due to temps but due to stability issues.

For fans the Noctua NF-A14 FLX, Would be a good choice.
Tatsujin:
Forget it, back to the DF-14 and V8 GTS.

Just buy the NH-D14 line the side with fans and a daisy chain of connects so you only have to pull one plug to get the side off, Set them to a High quality fan connector and enjoy a cool, quiet rig.
