Hi, I have a Corsair Obsidian 350D case running with gtx 770 and intel i5 4670k. I am using two AF 120 Quiet Editions currently, one front and one rear. I wonder if I need two more of the same fans to put on top, if yes, should they suck air in or blow out? No water cooling by the way.
Thanks

What temps are you running with your current setup? If they are within reason, no additional fans are necessary. If you do want to add fans, one should be enough. Set it up as intake (pull in) so as to maintain positive pressure in the case.

Thanks. Currently it isn't getting too hot but maybe I can place two fans in front and one at the back when it gets too hot during the summer.

That would be even better. Leave the top open for convection. Front fans as intake, rear fan as exhaust. If you go this way, be sure to get a 140mm for the front. High cfm, low rpm.

Would it be convenient to combine one 120mm and one 140mm?
Thanks for the answers :)

Sure. Just a small reduction in flow.
