Hi guys I have this case : CoolerMaster Full ATX HAF-942 X

I plan to utilise all fan slots I was thinking, 2 x 200mm exhaust on top and 1x 140mm exhaust at back?

And 200mm intake on side and 230mm intake at front, is this an ideal location??

I don't plan on any liquid cooling just straight air cooling thanks, your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

I like the large 230mm intake on the front.
Larger fans will be quieter for the amount of air they move.

I do not much like side fans. They disrupt the natural front/low intake to high/rear exhaust airflow.

If you use your fans as intakes along with a intake air filter you will have a cleaner case(called positive pressure)

May I suggest you test with the stock fans first.
Adding fans will add to expense and noise. You may do no better with cooling.

Once you have two 120mm intake fans or the equivalent in output, you will have sufficient airflow to feed the cooling systems of a strong graphics card or cpu cooler.

Think about it:
A graphics card might have one or two 90-100mm intake fans.
A cpu cooler with a single 120mm fan will usually do the job.
You only need the equivalent in intake to feed them.

And... parts may run hot, but they are designed to tolerate heat.

Thank you very much, I probably should have said that I mainly want to do this to get some nice led lighting for my case lol, apologies. I guess I need to know whether or not its a detriment to the system by having all those fans? A bit more noise is no problem for me and I don't mind wasting a bit of cash. Sorry I should have added this to my question!
