I know many posts here around that but to be honest it confusing me so will ask once more
I have this build

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3gD6U

And just bought 3x Fractal Design Silent Series R2 140mm Cooling Fan FD-FAN-SSR2-140

Do I need to add any of them ? If yes will it be intake or exhaust and where to place

Please let me know I will check back tomorrow morning before I finish the build
Thank you

I suggest you just start off with the ones that came with the case and cpu cooler to start out and see what temperatures are at stock using HWMonitor or similar program, use prime95 and furmark or similar programs to properly stress the system while you are monitoring temps. If it seems that you need more airflow, add another intake and exhaust fan. Of course whenever you add a fan, even the "silent" ones, it will add noise.

intake is usually the bottom/front while exhaust is the top/rear. Make sure when you put your fans in that you install them correctly so they aren't fighting each other, especially if you are going to push pull on your cpu cooler.
