Hey Guys,

I was wondering about my systems intakes/ exhaust setup and i wanted to know is having three 200mm fans, one 140mm fan, and one as intakes and having only one 230mm as an exhaust creating too much pressure? Is having two 200mm and one 140mm intake / one 200mm & one 230mm Exhaust fans better? This is in my HAF-X case If anybody is wondering.

(This is with the two 200mm fans on the top the one 200mm on the side the 230mm in the front and the 140mm in the back.)

Exhaust fans are pretty much pointless. Get rid of the exhaust fans and you'll have a slightly quieter system. If you have a lot of fans blowing air in then you have a higher pressure inside the case. Air is always going to go from high to low pressure so the air that is already in the case will naturally expel itself through whichever way is easiest for it. So in conclusion there really isn't a need for exhaust fans. Air is going to go from higher pressure (inside the case) to lower pressure (outside the case) wherever possible.

Ok, Sounds good. I'll change all my fans to intakes then. Just didn't know if it would be bad for the system or not. Thanks Guys.
