Hi, I have a question about Airflow and Fan Direction to maximize cooling in my computer case. Id like to know if there is an optimal direction my fans should be directing the air.

My computer case is a "Apevia X-Navigator Aluminum Computer Case"

At the moment the back fans are blow in and out, Top fan as a exhaust and the one below it as an intake, the Fan at the very top of the case is blowing as an exhaust, the two front Fans are working as intakes, and finally the large 120mm Fan on the Side panel is working as an intake. So I'd like to know if at the moment my Airflow is optimal or its not working to its full potential.

I'll try and provide an Photo or image diagramming it for you all, if I can.

general rule for airflow is top and rear should be exhaust, front and side should be intake.

Yes. Bring fresh air in, but you also need to take hot air out.
