I have front and side panel and intake, back and top at exhaust fans. I wouldn't use the back as in intake as well.
How should the fans be setup?
Evening all,
First off this is not my rig, its a picture that will be close to my setup I found on google.
I have a HAF 932 case and all the components that I will be using are in the sig rig below.
What I am wondering is how should i set the fans up for the best air flow.
KEY FOR THE PIC:
Red=Hot air
Blue=Cool air
I have thought about doing this in the pic attached:
Also the fan on the side panel of the HAF I can not decide if i should leave the stock fan on or place four 120mm fans on there blowing cold air in.
Whats your take?

I was just thinking with it being so close to the rad it may benefit from some cold air blown direct to it.

I have intake in the back, on the mobo side, and in front, with exhaust on the other side and at the top. you can do it any way you want so long as you are moving a lot of air

Rear fans are commonly exhaust, front intakes, top exhaust and side intakes

not much room in the front for intake fans...just that little space at the bottom

Those two 5.25" drive bays in the front not being used, might be able to stick a good, high cfm 80mm fan in there

I have my HD and extra cables in there , but I might be able to squeeze something in there although I don't think it would help with my current configuration. Thanks for the idea though, in case I have to change things when I rebuild.
