Hello. Today I received all the parts for my gaming PC, and I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I have ordered the Areocool Xpredator X3 case which has place for a lot of extra fans. I already have two fans to mount on the side panel, but I'm not sure whether I should set them to intake or exhaust. The slots are technically at the back of the side panel, right next to the stock rear exhaust fan. Warm air from components would have more ways out of the case. I also don't want any additional dust getting blown inside. On the other hand, the two slots are over my (huge) heat sink and my graphics card. Additional cooling is always nice. Do you guys have any advice?
