My specs are in my sig, my case is an Coolermaster Elite k350 ( kinda small'ish but gets the job done )

at the moment i have lack of fans but i ordered 2x 120mm fans.

anyways, I have ;

preinstalled 800? rpm 120mm fan at front
1600 rpm 120mm rear exhaust.
1600 rpm 120mm side intake.
+2000? rpm 80mm bottom intake.¨

I have 1 slot free at top and i will change the crappy 80mm for an new 120mm soon.

how should i set up my fans?

Lack of fans is not always a bad thing! More fans = more noise. Use the fewest fans needed to keep tems under control.

You want to move air through the case, not just blow it around.
Front intake, back/top exhaust.

Currently, you have a positive pressure system. Good for keeping dust out.

I would add nothing, unless you notice high temps. And with the current set up, you shouldn't.
