So I am almost finished my new AMD build and I decided I want the airflow to be as good as it gets. The case itself comes with 3 fans, 1 x 120mm, and 2 x 200mm one has a LED.

I am going to install a CM Hyper 212 EVO on my FX-8350 since I want to keep my temperatures low but I do not want to pay much for a heatsink. So this is what seems right so far; http://imgur.com/ubkhWNf I took the 200mm fan off the top of the case because I felt like it would pull some of the cool air away from the 212 EVO before it can be cycled through.

Im not sure what to do with the extra 200mm fan. Should I mount it on the side panel as a intake to blow cold air over my GPU? Any suggestion for airflow would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

That airflow diagram sure seems good so you could follow that or put that extra 200mm fan at the side for your GPU so it gets cool air, also try this one: make sure your heatsink and fan is pointing downwards towards your gpu so your heatsink will be horizontal with the fan below it so it could grab some cold air from the bottom of you case and put that extra 200mm fan on top so that fan will intake hot air from your heatsink and leave the front and back fan alone

As yes, i have seen that been done before. Unfortunately the EVO would almost be touching the GPU. I think I may stick with the one in the diagram. I just installed my 200mm fan on the side to push cold air towards the gpu and southbridge.
