So I have a case with room for 2 120mm fans in the front and top, one for the side panel and back and I also have a hyper evo 212 with a cheap nautical 20$ fan that is pretty old on the the pulling end and a cheap cooler master on the other end pushing the hot air away and so all those spots but the top have cheap coolermaster fans that came in a four pack combo and just a cooler master and nautical fan on the cpu cooler. So the question is I just got 4 of these courgar turbine 120mm fans and wanted to know what spots would be best to switch out for these fans all help is appreciated thanks
Where to put my better fans

Also I plan on gaming like arma 3, heroes and generals, dayz, bf2bc, and war thunder on high if that helps with anything also if you need links and specs I can post them if u ask thanks all help is greatly appreciated this is my first build so I'm not as experienced with this part
Frônt slots: 2x 120mm cooler master fans
Side panel: none the cooler master fan makes that part to loud
Exhaust: 1x 120 mm coolermaster fan
Top: none
Cpu cooler: 1x 120 mm coolermaster fan exhaust the air away from cooler (back)
1x 120mm nautical fan old and from a rig that was old about 4 years pulls in the air for cpu cooler (front)
I have the airflow coming in from the front of case and out the back

I'd put two on the hyper 212 evo in push/pull, then one on the front of the case, one on the back. Then use an old fan to make 2 in the front.
There's a bunch of different variables here, so I'll just state the basics. Your front and side should be pulling air in, the back and top should be pushing air out. As long as you keep them like this you should have fairly even airflow. If possible you should try and set up the exhaust fans to be slightly slower than the intake fans that way you keep a positive pressure on the inside of the case which helps to eliminate dead spots where no air is flowing.

2 fans in push/pull on that 212 EVO doesn't really do a lot.

Nice. Didn't think it would be that small of a difference, thanks for posting that.
Still, I think with 4 new fans, it will make a bigger difference having push/pull (albeit minimal) than using them as chassis fans, but that's debatable for sure.
Thanks guys I certainly love all your guys helpful input but I think I'm going to put two of the cougar vortex fans on the evo one on the front and on on the side then the rest will be the coolermaster fans but also do I want to remove the nautical fan (brown fan with tan frame) from the evo as the fAn that pushes air on the cpu cooler and have the turbine the one that pull the hot air off or what?

There is no discernable advantage to having push/pull on a tower cooler such as a hyper212. In fact, it can often be a detriment. The push fan will push the air through that tower just fine by itself. Because of the nature of air being pushed, some of the air 'bleeds' out from the sides of the tower. This air bleed is what helps cool other motherboard components such as the VRMs which sit directly adjacent to the cpu. The draw from the pull fan eliminates this bleed, so while you may see a 1-2° cooler cpu, you are hindering any cooling breeze across the VRMs heatsink.
The stock hyper212 cm fan is quite good at what it does, and is easily equal to a Cougar Vortex in that capacity. The Cougars however make good case fans.
My recommendation is: 2x Cougars as top exhaust, set for lower rpm @900. 2x CM as front intake, set for higher rpm than exhaust, @1300rpm. 1x Cougar as rear exhaust, see same as top exhaust. Either 4th Cougar or stock hyper212 CM on the cpu cooler. Either way, with 3 exhausts and only 2 intakes, set any fan curves to have moderately lower exhaust speeds than intake speeds. This has the net effect of keeping dust down. I'd not use the side fan unless after tweaking fan settings you determine that the gpu is still too warm. Side fans usually have a detrimental affect on good case airflow, so while gpu temps are lower, everything else is higher

Then you have other issues.
I have the 212 PLUS, with the stock fan in the default push config, sitting on an i5-3570k.
Absolutely silent, under 100% load. CPU temp hovering around 65-68C.
The only way I hear that fan is to take the side panel off, and stick my head right inside the case.

Depends. If that Noctua fan has like 7 or more fat, flat blades, I'd use that on the cpu cooler. Noctua fans are exceptionally quiet and very high quality. If the Noctua fan has like 5 or so blades that kinda look like a propeller more than a fan blade, those Noctuas are designed as high cfm case fans, so are not as good on a radiator like the 212evo . Goto Noctuas website. Take a look at the pictures there. While model numbers may have changed, the basic design hasn't, its just tweaked with some upgraded performance. So if it's 'S' type it'll work great as either rear exhaust of if you must, side intake, if it's 'F' or 'P' type it'll be best on the cpu cooler
Okay so my set up i will leave a cm on the exhaust of case the noctua on the evo pulling cool air on to it, 2x turbines for the front and one on the side panel, 1x turbine on top pulling out air and 1x cm pulling out air on top.
Its just hard to comtrol their speeds with bios since the majority of them are powered via cable splitter 3 pin
If you think this is a good set up or i should change just leave a comment i appreciate all your guys help it is really useful
