Hi everyone. I am building a new gaming pc, and got the HAF XM case. It looks great, but I am having some difficulty with the fan setup. What is the best fan configuration to keep the system cool? I was thinking about this setup:
-Front: 200mm fan intake (of course)
-Side: 200mm fan intake or 140mm fan intake
-Rear: 140mm fan exhaust
-Top: none

Will this work? I was also thinking about getting the DEMCiflex filters for the case, but will that hinder airflow too much? Thanks!

The case comes with a 200mm front fan (intake), a 200mm top fan (exhaust), and rear 140mm fan (exhaust). Is that all I need, or should I move the top fan to the side and only have one exhaust?

Ok. Thanks! However, I did have another question. If I only have the stock setup, then won't that be negative pressure? Is that a bad thing? I started to read about other configurations for this case and positive and negative setups came up.
