Highly recommended

Hum, those Nidec's are on Amazon These ones specifically. I did a bit of math, they would provide about 3.62mm/H20 vs Noctua 3.94 mm/H20

I have now used the In Win 301 in a few builds. Some have used all 4 fans, while others have just used just the power supply and the rear 120 mm. When not using the front fans, I have blocked back flow with closed-cell foam or packing tape.

In the back I have used Noctuas and GentleTyphoon fans.

I used this: http://www.redseafish.com/hardware/reef-spec-carbon/ . I have two Nidec Servo Gentle Typhoon high static pressure fans : https://www.amazon.com/Nidec-Servo-GentleTyphoon-120mm-D1225C12B6ZPA-64/dp/B017UX9DRA one each side of the filter.

I finally got to test it with temperature monitoring today. It wasn't moving enough air to keep the case cool. I think this is down to the fine granularity of the carbon so i'm going to try some different carbon.

I have two cree cob LED's ( cxb3590 ) in the case which generate a fair amount of heat.

I'm not sure how thick the carbon layer really needs to be top stop all of the smell - It's 5cm in this version as that's what someone else did in a case build.

https://www.3dhubs.com/ allows you to upload a model and get a quote from people in your area for printing. Some are quite cheap.

Edit: This was the inspiration for the filter design (scroll down there's a diagram of the design) :

This is another I might try. This must give more airflow as most commercial filters are this shape.

Which sheets were you going to use?

And between the NF-A12x25 PWM vs nidec Servo gentletyphoon 2150 RPM PWM ? https://www.amazon.com/SERVO-Nidec-GentleTyphoon-120mm-Case/dp/B017UX9DRA

These are the ones he has https://www.amazon.com/Nidec-Servo-GentleTyphoon-120mm-D1225C12B6ZPA-64/dp/B017UX9DRA/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1498335916&sr=1-2&keywords=gentle+typhoon

are those good too or just the dark side? These are higher rpm which is nice.

OP. Dump that fractal radiator fan and get a Nidec Gentle Typhoon.

It’s the best black fan you can get since the A12 hasn’t been released.

There are these: https://www.amazon.com/Nidec-Servo-GentleTyphoon-120mm-D1225C12B6ZPA-64/dp/B017UX9DRA

Gentle Typhoons are the best.

Thank you. This is great advice.

• I'm not sure where I read the 240mm per component thing, but I must be mistaken. If I were to just use a single 360mm rad would it be better to place it in the front or on the top. From what you said it seems as though placing it on the front and flipped from the way I showed it would be the best.
  
• With regards to my fan choice, would something like the Nidec Servo GentleTyphoon be better? Looking at the specs/reviews it seems to be quiet (unfortunately its noise is given in dB while the Noctura is given in dBA).

• If I were to use only a single 360mm rad, would I still place case fans on the top/back and if so can they be the same fans?
  
  Thank you again for your time.

> Gentle Typhoons (aside from being discontinued by Scythe)

You might want to make sure you get your facts straight first, before proffering a mistaken opinion.

Scythe never made Gentle Typhoons, so it wasn't something they could "discontinue". They distributed them for a while, before choosing not to continue to do so. Gentle Typhoons are still being built and sold today, but are now distributed by the company that always made them: Nidec Servo:

I have one system full of NF-F12s and another full of Gentle Typhoons. The Nidec fans are quieter and perform better, as tested on the exact same hardware in the exact same environment.
