Hello, am in the middle of a new build into a Fractal Torrent. Anybody with the case added on an exhaust fan? (it doesn't come with one). I was thinking that since the PSU intake is above and to the rear of the CPU cooler (am using air), adding an exhaust fan would help not only to blow hot air out but also to prevent all of that hot air from the CPU cooler going into the PSU intake fan. Any thoughts?  Thank you.

    With the stock fan configuration, airflow is not an issue. I don't think there is much value to adding a 6th fan, but maybe if running them all at minimum speed it might help. Given how easy it would be to add one just go for it.

    Important message regarding Torrent
     
     (excerpts) 
     
    If you own a Torrent case, we ask that you unplug the Fan Hub (instructions available here) and fill in the form available here and a replacement kit will be sent to you as soon as possible.

    Update: Torrent is back!

    Summary and resolution

    The first batch of Torrent cases had an issue with the Nexus 9P Slim Fan Hub causing a potential electrical malfunction. We temporarily halted sales and manufacturing as the design was updated.
    Following production and distribution of the new design, existing Torrent stock has been re-worked to include the updated Fan Hub and the Torrent is now back on sale in most regions.
    If you bought a Torrent prior to the update or wish to verify which Fan Hub version your case has, please refer to the following page: Torrent Support, where you can order a replacement kit free of charge if needed through this form.

    Fractal's support is great. They handled the problem with the Torrent's initial fan hub quickly..unlike NZXT's problem. This is my third fractal case, I also have 2 fractal define cases.  I contacted support twice for those...once because I accidentally threw away the top case cover that covers the mesh top and another time because I accidentally threw away ssd mounting hardware. Both times they sent me replacement parts free of charge.
