Hey all,

So I have the HAF X case...great case by the way, I dig it. I just have a question and feel free to call me out as the noob I am for this one.

The fan in the front and on the side are both intake. The fan in the back and on the top are both exhaust. But my question is wouldn't it be better to have the top fan as an intake so that it's blowing air over my motherboard components?

Hi David Wicks
leave the top fans as exhaust , front intake
you could put a fan on the case door and that will give you positive air pressure ( more intake than exhaust ) this will mean less dust in your case and help cool your gpu/gpus as well as the internal 120mm
EDIT , I also have 2 hafx cases , the nvidia editions and this setup works well
