Had a question about the cl 280 
I am thinking about replacing the fans with my corsair ml 240s.
Question is, will i benefit by replacing the stock fans ?
will mount the cooler on the top of the case as exhaust, instead of in the front as intake.
Still have not picked out a case .
might pick up the corsair 780 or 760 T

    No. You'll make your temps worse with those fans.

    Wait you're gonna put 120s on a 140(x2) radiator? That would be worse

    If you replace the stock fans with Corsair fans made to fit which should be 140mm you should be fine. I don't think 120mm Corsair fans would fit anyway. If you want bling then Corsair LL 140mm should be fine.

    The stock fans have a static pressure of 4.20 mmh20. 
     
    All ml 140's from corsair provide less static pressure than the stock fans.

    Sorry guys for the confusion,
    I think what i will do is Leave the stock EVGA fans on the cl 280 and mount it on top as exhaust.
    Then for the front use both corsair ML 140s as intake.
    I also have 2 Noctua NF-A14 FLX  and  can use 1 of them for rear exhaust fan.
     
     
    As far as a case  I will Either get the Corsair 760 or 780T
    thanks again guys

    Thanks Sajin
    I was confused about the stock fans.
    Do you think the corsair 760 or 780T  is a good choice for a case.
    Not sure of the build quality
    I have a budget of $200.00  preferably a full tower
    with a good fan controler
    I want to be able to use 1 dvd drive i know it's a little old school 
    2 ssd and 1 hd

    780t is a great choice.
