Hi,

I recently just built a computer and the stock fans come in this placement, one exhaust on the back of the case and two intake one on the top and one in the front.

I am wondering what placement of the two intake fans would give the best cooling for my system, the way it is now, two intakes in the front, or two intakes on top? Or any other placement!

Thanks!

Normally, front and bottom are intakes, top and rear are exhaust. This lends itself to natural convection as heat rises. It's also advised to have more intake power than exhaust (Either more intake fans than exhaust or faster spinning intakes than exhaust. It helps maintain positive pressure inside to reduce dust from entering the case.

Okay, knowing that how do you think I should place my fans in my case, I only have 3 fans
