Yes!

What I stated above is general practice. Feel free to add fans if you choose to do so. The total air intake should be approximately equal to the total air exhaust. You can read up on "Positive pressure" and "Negative pressure" But they don't mean much.

If you change the air flow pattern (Intakes, Exhausts) check the before and after temps using RealTemp, HWInfo, HWMonitor - and then settle for the best combination.
