Hi, I have a Corsair 350d. Currently I have 2 AF 140 at front as intake, 1 AF 140 rear as exhaust and 2 SP 120 at top for exhaust for my h100i radiator. Just want to know If I can still improve my airflow if I put my rear as intake instead. Will this give me a significant decrease on temp? any other suggestions will be appreciated.
Suggestions about Corsair 350d Best airflow.

I did just that. Do you have a large video card? If so it is a great choice. The case becomes split in 2. The bottom air loop cools the video card and the top loop cools the cpu radiator. This configuration dropped my CPU and GPU temps significantly. It also creates positive pressure in the case so air is pushed out and dust does not get sucked in.
A lot of people will argue against it, but every time I see a radiator involved on the top of the case, there is definitive evidence that it improves temperatures all around and reduces dust. A lot of people will disagree.

The 350d is a great case, I currently use the same setup you have with the same fans too. I think in the 350d forums most people that dont have a windowed case that use corsair fans have the top back as intake so their rad is getting fresh air. I personally have it as an exhaust cause I like seeing the corsair ring next to my mobo. The difference either way will not be substantial. I personally modded my case so I could have another intake fan on the bottom of my case where the 3.5" drives went, that way my case had a more overall postive air pressure.

Good I have a 4770k at 4.6ghz and sli 780's overclocked under water. Fan profiles are set to medium to low in my bios and dust filters on all my intakes keeping it really clean.

GPU's dont hit 60 but they are also different cards and are running a custom loop. One thing I did notice when running cards in sli in an matx case is that if u notice the top card is running hotter a side fan can help reduce your gpu temps. Overall though for an matx case the 350d should have great airflow, only so much you can do it ambient room temp is high, that being said your number seem reasonable.
