I’m currently using the Enthoo pro and am wondering where to position my extra 140mm fan and what job it should be. Currently everything is set to default (200mm intake front, 140mm exhaust rear). I can easily place the fan wherever on the top of the case (I.E. back, middle front etc...). Logically, the fan would be set to exhaust because hot air rises but what would be the effect of using it as an intake instead.

What would you guys recommend?

The biggest problem I have with the back exhaust is the heated air from the rest of the components is directed out through the CPU Cooler... In most cases, you'd want the coolest air directed through the CPU cooler... Hence, my direction... back(/side) in top/front out
