I'm trying to pick between the Nzxt H6 Flow and the Corsair 3500X cases and would love to hear from anyone who has experience with the temp control for each case. What's the best way to set up the fans for airflow? I was thinking of configuring it with the rear fans exhausting, the AIO cooler as intake from the bottom, and using the three side fans to exhaust as well, with a 140mm bottom fan taking in fresh air. Also, I'm curious if it's okay to daisy chain 7-8 fans. I plan to have 2 fans on the AIO and 5-6 regular ones. The Nzxt case needs an extra fan at the bottom to fill in the slots, but my motherboard ARGB headers only have a power rating of 3A. I heard that I could daisy chain about 10 fans per header? Any insights would really help! Cheers!

Honestly, it comes down to which case looks better to you or is cheaper. As for the fans, daisy chaining is possible, but to be safe, consider getting a splitter or a fan hub. It'll be cheap and help you avoid overloading your motherboard.
I’ve noticed they’re almost the same price, but the Corsair is slightly cheaper. With a hub, can you really control individual colors, though? I thought they could only sync to one solid color.
