H500M Fan Layout

[LukeMurtagh1995]

Hello all,

I was thinking about getting the CoolerMaster H500M for my next build but I have a question about cooling. If I replaced the two 200mm fans at the front with three 140mm fans would that negatively affect cooling at all? I know the included fans are a significant reason why people want to go for it but I'm wanting to create a build with minimal RGB and I would prefer the aesthetic of black fans.

Thanks!

That would depend on the fans you are replacing them with and the airflow/static pressure they produce. Keep in mind the noise also. I replaced my 2x200mm fans with 3x120mm high static pressure fans as I was needing air pushed through a radiator sitting behind them.
