Hi, I have a NZXT Source 210 (not Elite) case, and am trying to keep my temperature down. Idle I'm getting 27C with the stock AMD cooler, and 48C under 60% load. I am happy with these temperatures but I am always looking to improve, and have some more fans on their way to me. Fan wise, I currently have the NZXT case fan that came with the case (120 mm), a Cooler Master CPU fan (120 mm) salvaged from a Hyper 212 EVO (was looking to install this, got damaged in transit). On their way are 2 Corsair AF120 Quiet Editions (120mm).

I have the Cooler Master fan as an intake at the front of the case, and the NZXT fan as an exhaust at the back. What would be the best locations for the other 2 fans? There is one place left for an intake at the front, so that could be possible, the top has no fans installed and the bottom is where the majority of the cables are from the PSU. I have got a Zalman CNPS9900MAX-R CPU Cooler that I will install beforehand.

I would personally use the front as a dual intake and the back as exhaust,the bottom as intake if that's an option, if you can use two fans on the bottom i would use back and front as intake and bottom as exhaust, this allows a good flow through the case. Good luck.
