Hi Guys. I just bought a new Coolermaster Haf XM casing for my new build. I got the one with a side window panel instead of a side fan and was wondering if the current stock fan setup is good or needs to be revised. Currently my Haf XM has 1 200mm front intake fan, 2x200mm Top exhaust fan and 1 rear 140mm exhaust.
So as you can see this default set up has a very negative air pressure. Should I make my rear exhaust fan into an intake to balance it a bit or leave as is?
Note: I cannot add any more fans as all the major fan slots (front, 2xtop, rear) is already occupied. so either I reverse the flow of some fans or leave it as it is. Any good advice will be appreciated thanks
