Hi guys,

I have a Corsair Vengeance C70 case. I'm running an i5 4670K with Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler, and an EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX.

I just purchased 4 x Corsair AF120 fans because hey, more cooling is never a bad thing. My question is where and how I should set up the fans.

Standard, the case has 2 x 120mm fans at the front for intake, and 1 x 120mm fan at the back for exhaust.

Extra mounting points are: 2 x up top, 1 x bottom, 2 x side. Can also replace fans in stock locations if they would be better there.

I have the same case, and a GTX 780 SC (reference).

I'm running two blue LED fans on the top, the stock fans in their original positions, and two aftermarket fans on my 212 EVO. My 780 isn't particularly cool but it's reference design, and my 8350 is cool enough that the thermometer can't read it accurately.
