Hi,

My case uses its default cooling of one 120mm fan in the front (intake i'm guessing) and one in the back (exhaust). I have an Evo hyper 212 on my CPU and my GPU, an asus gtx 970, has two fans on it. I recently ordered 2 120m fans for my case and I'm wondering where I should put them. Both on top side of case on exhaust or one on top and one on side on exhaust? Or a different setup?

Thank you
 
Solution
Add the new fans as intake on the side (bottom), and exhaust on the top (rear). Force cool air to get to the Hyper 212 and GPU through the side, then kick it out at the top.

So then I would have side one taking in air but GPU which would be parallel to it exhausting? That is ok?

I guess the top exhaust would be at the back? That is where it is hottest.
 


Yes. Cool air coming in from the side goes through the GPU / CPU cooler, then out the back / top.

Yes.
