Hey guys,

I have the Corsair Carbide Spec 02 (it comes with a 120mm Intake fan at the front and a 120mm Exhaust fan at the back). I bought two Corsair AF120 LED and two AF140 LED.

My setup:
Intel i5 4670k
Asus Maximus vii Hero
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX
Corsair RM750

My questions: I would like to use all 5 fan mounts (can't fit the 6th on the bottom) what would be the best airflow setup?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Cheers.

Be it 1 fan, 2 fans, 4 fans, 8 fans.....

In the front/bottom, out the back/top. You want to move air through the case, not just blow it around.

As of now, i have the 140s as intake in front, and a 120 at the rear for exhaust and 2 120s at the top for exhaust. Would that work?

Also, when i start to overclock the 4670k i'll upgrade to a watercool placed at the rear...would i set up the fan to exhaust thru the radiator?

Yes.

Opinions and recommendations differ on that.
Do you want the radiator fans blowing cool outside air through the rad, but now warm air into the case?
Or do you want them blowing warm air out?

Being that i have the 140s up front for intake and the 120s at the top for exhaust...would you think i could sacrifice a exhaust at the rear? So i would then intake into the radiator?
