Hello I just built a new gaming computer and had a couple of questions. I am running dual radeon 7870's and there is a side chassis spot right where they are for a 120mm fan. Is it best to have that side chassis fan as an intake our an outtake? Also I have two new Corsair SP120 fans but if I try to run both of them only one stays powered up. They both power up when the computer is first turned on but as soon as the OS boots one of them will just quit and the one that stays on will not show its fan speed in any of my monitors or the BIOS.

You want the air to flow in a sort of S shape through your case, the key is to keep all the air moving the side fans can disrupt this airflow causing pockets of still air. its all dependant on your case and your hardware but here is a good guide http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/guide-to-prop...
