Hi, I have the NZXT H440 and here is my fan setup.

I have one 140mm stock fan exhausting on the back of the case. On the top I have 1 120mm stock fan exhausting, one 120mm radiator intaking and another 120mm stock fan exhausting. In the front I have 3 120mm sickleflow fans intaking. Please let me know any improvements but please know im not looking to buy anything. Thanks

Best thing you can do is to turn on your pc, measure the ambient temp of the cpu/mb/gpu at idle after like 15mins. Then run a benchmark or prime95 or something to stress your system, check temps. Let it cool down. Reverse some fans. Repeat. See if there is a difference.

It took me about a week or messing with my fans to find a good setup that works. A lot of things depend on your best setup and there is no one-size-fits-all config. Your pc may be near an air vent, so it more cool air to pull in. Then more intake makes sense. If it's in a more closed in area under a desk, maybe more exhaust makes sense since there isn't a lot of cool air to pull in, best you can do is to get the hot air out.
