Right now I currently have two of the CM blue led fans as side panel intake and as exhaust by the CPU Cooler, 1 Thermalright Fan(50CFM @ 1100rpm?) as top exhaust(furthest back), 1 Stock side panel CM Fan (1000 rpm) as bottom intake, and 2x Yate Loon 2100rpm @88cfm as intake.

Im planning on replacing the CM blue LEDs with 2 more Yate Loons as well as adding the 140mm exhausts.

More INTAKE means more dust not exhaust. Exhaust is the cleaner of the two.

At the same time though, wouldnt more exhaust than intake create a lower pressure inside the case and thus higher temps?

I don't think so, but positive can have the same results. Positive = more intake = more dust build up on parts = more heat. Plus negative means all the hot air will get exhausted, which means that cool air will try and get in through any open gap in the case.

Nice... I love the look of those orange Xigmatek fans, i want some for my rig but i dont think they'll look that great on the nvidia edition of this case

Its called 4 in 3 device module by CM... i have it in my rig, looks pro (with or without the device front panel), and u can stick 4 hdd's in there... Also works nice to prevent transfering the HDD vibrations to the case chasis, so less noise too...

Not that expensive too

P.S. but im guessing Kama bay will provide more airflow... CM's fan is a little bit obstructed by the HDD mounting rails, and extra aluminum they got there...

Low pressure air is easier to heat up than high pressure air. There's less mass to it. That was my point. But I dont know how significant the difference in pressure is so I cant judge the magnitude of the effect.

Well either way, both have their ups and downs, and since its hard to get neutral without going case-less, you want the benefits of one or the other.

Wasnt quite looking for that, looking more along the lines of just a fan mounting system rather than a HD bay Thanks though, it looks nice.
