I'm rebuilding my son's PC in a HAF XM and have an extra 200mm fan I can use. The case comes with a 200mm intake fan in front, a 200mm exhaust fan on top, and a 140mm exhaust fan in the rear.

Am I better off adding my extra 200mm fan on top and creating more negative pressure, or placing it on the side for positive pressure? Dust isn't a large concern, as we have a whole-house air purifier that runs continually.

Thanks!
