I have a Storm Scout 2 case with all 8 fans installed. I'm curious as to what way/direction the community would install them for optimal airflow. Currently I have the two on the front panel and top panel blowing in to the case. The two on the side panel as well as the bottom, and the back, are blowing out. Thanks in advance!

Top should almost always be exhaust. As hot air naturally rises, you are just fighting against it. If I were you, I would have two front intakes, one rear exhaust and maybe, and only if the GPU is getting insufficient airflow, would I think about putting a side panel intake. The ideal setup is to have a good stream of air channeling from one end of the case to the other. The fan set up that you have will result a lot of dead air space.

More fans does not equate to better cooling.

Interesting, I just always figured more airflow=more cooling, I guess I'm wrong.

I also have 5 of them on a controller, and have the ability to control the other 3 with software. If that helps anybody...
