So I have an Antec Two Hundred case

I have two fans, one on top and one on the back of the case, and I was thinking about putting a fan on the side and one (or should I need two) on the front.

Question is, obviously I would need a filter for the side fan, but do I need one for the front fan too? I ask this because the front case already have a filter. Should it be enough or I have to also put a filter on the front fan too?

Thanks in advance guys!

Sorry for bump this, but I want to ask something.

So I put a side fan (Be Quiet Silent Wings 2) on the side of my case (Antec Two Hundred) and... the temps actually got higher by 1ºC. I know is not much but if I actually get higher temps I may as well take it off.

Fan is connected by molex at 12v (I guess that takes it to spin at his max speed). Its setup as an intake fan. I have a rear and top fan set as exhaust.

Theres something I can do or I should just take it off?

you might try connecting the side fan to your otherboard if it has an available fan connector, that way the mobo can regulate the fan speed, if that doesn't help, 1 degree isn't alot to worry about, but if you feel you should remove it, by all means do so. Does the side fan have a filter on it? If so, the mesh/screen may be too dense and restricting airflow, maybe look for a different filter with larger mesh if possible.
