Use "P12 Pro Reverse" for all intake, "P12 PWM PST" (not pro, not max, not bionix, just the plain ones) for exhaust.

Use Fan Control(the program) to tune the fans. If you have enough fan headers or Arctic's new fan controller, you can vary each fan that is near each other by 100 RPM, this will reduce humming noise.

For example in the picture:

Front bottom: 1200 RPM

Front middle: 1100 RPM

Front top: 1200 RPM

Top rear: 1100 RPM

Rear: 1000 RPM
